Obasanjo Farms Limited marked a major milestone in Nigeria’s agricultural transformation at the 2025 Nigeria Poultry Show in Abeokuta, Ogun State, by introducing a suite of advanced technologies set to redefine poultry farming nationwide. Their showcase demonstrated how digital tools, automation, and precision management can boost productivity, strengthen sustainability, and improve animal welfare across farms of all sizes.
According to Idowu Ayodele, ICT and Utility Manager at Obasanjo Farms, the event created an ideal platform for industry players—from smallholder farmers to large-scale producers—to explore innovations shaping the future of poultry production. The company exhibited a blend of modern and traditional systems, including state-of-the-art feeders and drinkers sourced from India, now enhanced with artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities. These solutions are designed to streamline farm operations, improve monitoring, and support healthier, more productive flocks.
A standout feature of the company’s presentation was its AI-driven monitoring systems, which track flock behavior in real time. These systems can detect early signs of disease, stress, or unusual feeding patterns, allowing farmers to respond quickly and prevent losses. By providing actionable insights into feed efficiency, flock performance, and environmental conditions, the technology empowers farmers to make informed decisions that boost production while reducing operational risks.
Sustainability also played a central role in Obasanjo Farms’ demonstration. Through digital tracking of water, feed, and energy usage, farms can reduce waste, cut energy consumption, and lower their environmental impact. This approach comes at a critical time, as Nigeria’s poultry sector rapidly expands to meet growing consumer demand while balancing ecological responsibilities.
Smart technologies are also helping producers maintain higher standards of biosecurity and product quality. Real-time data allows farms to ensure birds are raised in optimal conditions, resulting in better meat and egg quality. By minimizing disease spread and improving overall flock health, these innovations enhance consumer confidence in locally sourced poultry products.
Beyond the technology itself, Obasanjo Farms used the event as an opportunity to educate the wider poultry community. Farmers interacted directly with experts, learning how AI and IoT tools can be adapted to farms of varying capacities. This knowledge-sharing element is essential for driving widespread adoption of smart poultry practices across the country.
The company’s leadership reflects a broader shift within Nigerian agriculture—one that blends traditional farming with digital innovation to build more resilient, efficient, and profitable poultry enterprises. Obasanjo Farms is helping set a new benchmark for the industry, proving that technology-driven poultry management is not only the future but an increasingly necessary step toward securing Nigeria’s food systems.
The 2025 Nigeria Poultry Show ultimately highlighted how innovation can transform the poultry sector. With the introduction of advanced monitoring tools and intelligent farm equipment, Obasanjo Farms is ushering in a new era where Nigeria’s poultry industry is more connected, data-driven, sustainable, and prepared to meet both today’s and tomorrow’s challenges.
