In Nigeria’s poultry industry, counterfeit and adulterated agro-inputs have quietly eroded the trust, productivity, and profitability of farmers for decades. From fake vaccines and low-grade feed to misrepresented day-old chicks, these hidden threats cost African poultry producers over $4 billion USD annually—with disastrous consequences for food safety, farmer livelihoods, and national food security.

At AgDyna, we are confronting this crisis head-on through Farmsured™—our compliance and traceability technology platform that is restoring confidence and accountability across the poultry value chain.


The Problem: Hidden Threats, Visible Damage

Poultry farmers, especially smallholders, face a minefield of unreliable inputs:

  • Adulterated feed that slows growth and weakens immune systems.

  • Unverified vaccines and drugs that cause mortality spikes instead of preventing disease.

  • Counterfeit day-old chicks (DOCs) that are genetically inferior or already exposed to infections.

These issues are exacerbated by poor regulatory oversight, middleman-led supply chains, and lack of product traceability.


Farmsured’s Response: Technology Meets Trust

Farmsured™ is designed to verify, validate, and reward compliance at every step of the value chain. Here’s how:

Tamper-Evident Labeling for DOCs

Through our Farmsured DOC Protection Initiative, every chick carton now carries a dual-label system:

  • A red external tag for verification in the market.

  • A green internal tag activated on-farm to initiate a 48-hour protection window, providing chick loss guarantees for verified users.

Blockchain-Based Product Traceability

Inputs—feeds, drugs, supplements—are assigned batch codes that can be scanned by farmers using WhatsApp or USSD. These codes confirm product authenticity, expiry, and sourcing details instantly.

Verified Supply Chains via FarmClusters

All Farmsured-affiliated clusters source inputs only from verified manufacturers and distributors, reducing exposure to bad actors in the market.

Compliance Scoring and Incentives

Farms and cooperatives that consistently comply with best practices receive Farmsured Points, unlocking access to:

  • Premium markets

  • Branded product channels (e.g., EggXotic™)

  • Social benefits through Farmtrove™ (healthcare, insurance, and input financing)


Impact So Far

  • Over 150,000+ day-old chicks verified through Farmsured’s DOC protection program.

  • 10+ major poultry cooperatives have adopted Farmsured traceability and scoring systems.

  • Registered farms report a 30–40% improvement in input reliability and cost recovery.


Why It Matters

Restoring trust in agro-inputs is not just about profitability—it’s about survival, sustainability, and scale. As Africa’s demand for affordable protein soars, poultry will remain a key source—but only if farmers are protected from fraud and failure.

Farmsured is more than a technology. It is a movement for integrity, resilience, and transformation in African poultry production.
