The future of Nigeria lies in developing enterprises in the farm. Growing the agricultural sector can rapidly increase industrialisation, and simultaneously create jobs and wealth. A report released recently by the AGRA indicated that countries, which paid intense attention to farmers and food production in the past 10 years have achieved successful development in African history. Countries that made the biggest investments in agriculture were rewarded with sizeable jumps in both farm productivity and overall economic performance.
Game or zoo animal breeding is lucrative and can support numerous diverse income streams , complement each other and include both consumptive and non-consumptive uses.
The game breeding industry in Nigeria is growing steadily. Medium and long-term projections in this industry are remarkable if one should compare it to other business models and opportunities.
A great number of farmers and entrepreneurs have, or are looking into this business-model for the benefits it provides. Carefully selected breeding herds will double their number in a year, further growing at an exponential rate.
It is a dynamic industry and there is far too little game to meet the growing demand for tourist and leisure animals.
At Jovana Farms, our number one priority is the wellbeing of our animals and where they go if they leave our facility. We want to ensure that you are able to meet the needs of your exotic ‘’tourist’’ animals. Not every animal is suitable as a “pet” and not every home is suitable for an exotic. Many of our offspring animals reside in zoos, countless educational programmes, amusement parks, game reserves, research institutions, laboratories, etc.
Our target clientele consists of celebrities, kings, politicians, top class hotels, retired officers, vets and the affluent. We also supply private zoos and breeding facility for exotic, rare, endangered and unique zoological wildlife.
This business is about raising and selling rare or unusual animals, where profits are much bigger than normal. We specialize in supplying of exotic game/zoo animals such as grasscutters, antelopes, ostrich, horse, donkey, hyenas, gazelles, monkeys, rabbits, parrots, gorillas, tortoise, eagles, peafowl, lion, tigers, chimpanzees, geese, cheetah, porcupines, crocodiles, elephants, and guinea pigs.
These are but a few of the possibilities in this large category.

Which animals you raise will of course be influenced by your own preferences, the facilities you can provide, where you live, and of course the market in your area. You can go into this business from a hobby or just go out and buy a pair of whatever animals you would like to raise. The primary advantage of “exotic” rather than regular animals is income potential.
The first step after deciding upon an animal that would fit your situation is to learn all you can about that animal. Study its habits, feed and shelter requirements and learn something about diseases or genetic problems that might affect your ability to properly care for them.
Although there is a good profit potential, expensive animals require more care and closer attention than ordinary farm stock or pets. It would be a very good idea to discuss your plans with a veterinarian before going too far. Find out about normal health problems, which ones you can treat, and the cost of preventive care.
When you have decided upon the animals you plan to raise, and have learned of their care and habits, it is time to start building pens, sheds and feeding areas. Also, take special care to arrange your pens or cages so the animals will not be frightened or excited by their surroundings, which could interfere with their development or well-being.
The exotic animal business will probably take time to build, but can be especially rewarding for someone who is fond of animals. Exotic animals are raised for many different reasons – as pets for their fur, wool, or feathers or for tourism and food.
If you want to get higher prices for your exotic animals, “showcase” them as something special! Keep them and their area in top condition. Let everyone see that your animals are special and valuable.
