Broiler Farm (7500 Birds)

INTRODUCTION Project Brief 

The broiler farm is a project of livestock sector, in which, the day old chicks (DOCs) are raised on high protein feed for a period of six weeks. This business can be started both in rural and semi-urban areas in sheds. The Poultry sheds can be acquired on rental basis. These sheds have all the required facilities for the broiler farm. The rent cost varies between Rs 1 to Rs 2 per square feet depending upon the location and facilities at the farm. The broiler birds are sold to traders and the whole sellers markets in the urban areas. Some times birds can also be sold directly to the shopkeepers in the urban markets. Broiler farming is a profitable venture depending on the demand of the meat in the market. Annually, six flocks of birds will be raised on the same premises of a farm. 1.2 1.2

Oppo Op port rtun uniity Rat Ratiional onalee

Broiler meat is the cheapest source of animal protein available in the country. The time required for raising broiler birds is lesser than that for big animals. The consumption of white meat is increasing due to growing health consciousness in the masses. According to the Agriculture Statistics of Pakistan the per capita consumption of  poultry meat is increasing at a rate of 4% per annum. The existing daily availability of protein quantity per capita in Pakistan deriving from animal source including beef, mutton, poultry and fish combined amounts to 11 grams. This is far less than the recommended daily dietary protein allowance from animal source of 26 grams according to the World Health Organization standards. 1

Tota otal Pr Proje oject Cost

A broiler farm with a population of 7,500 birds established in a rented building needs a capital investment of about Rs 69,870 for purchasing farm machinery and equipment. In addition to this, a sum of Rs 596,882 is required as working capital, which will be used for purchasing day old chicks and raw material (feed & vaccines) etc. 1.4

Prop roposed Cap Capaci acity

In this pre-feasibility study, all the calculations have been based on a flock size of  7,500 birds, with raising six flocks per year. There will be a lag time of two weeks for cleaning and fumigation of the farm.

CURR CURREN ENT T INDU INDUST STR RY STR STRUC UCTU TURE RE

The generation line of broiler comes from pure line, which is imported. This produces grand parents for parent stocks and parent stock end up in producing the final product. The farmers get day old broiler from hatcheries. These hatcheries maintain their breeder farms, or in some cases, purchase their hatching eggs from breeder farms. These breeder farms depend on producers of parent stock. Poultry feed mills are the major player in the poultry industry, which produce a specific formula feed mix. Poultry feed consists of rich protein elements like grains, gluten, blood meal, fishmeal and soyabean meal. The major component of cost of  production of chicken meat accounts for feed cost. The poultry meat production has showed a growing trend over the past few years after a dip in 1997 due to the ban imposed on wedding dinners. The meat production trend of chicken meat, beef and mutton from the year 1995-2003 is presented below. 2

MARKETING

The marketing of chickens follows the traditional channels of distribution. Generally, broilers are distributed in the market through middlemen (Arti) and wholesalers. wholesalers. The role of Arti is to identify identify a farm and negotiate negotiate the price . In some cases, the middleman provides Day Old Chicks and other farm inputs (feed, etc.) to the broiler farmers and then agrees to buy back the mature birds from them. Birds are transported to the urban market and are sold to retailers or market-street poultry shops. Birds are sold on live-weight basis. The time spent in getting broilers from the farm to the retail shop is brief. Although collection and handling of birds has improved with the use of loader vehicles, but it is an established fact that greater the distance between the poultry producer and consumer, more complicated is the marketing system including their collection, handling and transportation to the consumer or processing plants. The processing plant produces dressed chicken (slaughtered and cleaned). However, a very small amount of dressed chicken is available in the local retail market. The integrated processing units distribute frozen and dressed chicken packed in whole or cut-ups to the consumer through retail shops under their brand names. The trick in marketing is quick availability of market information of chicken supply and demand, which will determine the selling price.

FARM MANAGEMEN MENT

Farm input required for a broiler farm includes farm equipment (drinkers, feed trays, brooders, and feeders), electronic fixtures and other consumer items (feed, vaccines & medicines, rice-husk or saw-dust, water, electricity, etc.).

Pre-Feasibility Study

4.1

Broiler Farm (7500 Birds)

Day Old Chicks

The chicks should be of uniform size, active, alert and bright eyed. The shank or leg covering (skin) of healthy chicks appears bright and shiny. 4.2

Brooding

Proper brooding temperature is required to keep the chicks in comfort. Coal or sawdust is burnt for supplying heat at the stage of brooding in the poultry farm. In the first week, 95ºF is quite comfortable. For the first one week, it is also essential to observe four to five times daily the condition (temperature) of the chicks. They should neither huddle nor move away from the brooding hover, but should be moving around evenly. As chicks grow, the temperature may be reduced at a rate of  5ºF per week until approximately 70ºF is reached in the sixth week. 4.3

Feeding

Broilers are usually fed with the following two types of ration: 



Broiler starter: It is fed to the broiler birds up to five weeks of age. Broiler finisher: It is fed to the broiler of more than five weeks of age and continued till the age of marketing.

Feeding three or four times each day will stimulate feed intake and prevents wastage. Percentage requirement of different ingredients in starter and finisher diet is given in Table 4-1: Table 4-1: Broiler Starter & Finisher Diet Ingredients

Broiler Farm (7500 Birds)

Housing

The chicks should be kept in a clean, dry and well-ventilated room. Broiler house should have proper ventilation as this provides the birds fresh air and carries off  moisture. The entire building including litter and all equipment should be fumigated. 4.5

F e e d er s

It is essential to provide adequate feeder space. Ideally, one pan type feeder is sufficient for 50 birds. Therefore, for 7500, birds 150 feeders would be more than enough. 4.6

Lighting

Most broiler growers provide 24 hours light during brooding and early growing period. Recent research conducted in windowless buildings, using intermittent lighting of 1-2 hours period, has indicated significantly improved feed efficiency. Initially, for first fifteen days, light intensity should be 40-60 watts per 200 sq. ft of  space and this can be replaced by 15 watts bulb in the beginning of third week. The feasibility has taken monthly electricity charges of Rs 2500. 4.7

Drinkers

Adequate drinking space should also be provided to the birds. The drinker should contain fresh, clean and cold water. It is necessary to provide extra water during summer. One drinker is sufficient for 50 birds. 4.8

Litter

Litter is spread on the floor to prevent the direct contact with the floor. Straw, ricehusk and sawdust are generally used for making the litter. It should be dry and free of moulds. Caked or moldy material should be removed and refilled with fresh materials. Extensively wet and dusty litter should also not be used. Using new litter for each flock is good for raising disease-free broiler. 4.9

Vaccination

Vaccination can be provided to chicks through injections, can also be mixed in the water and also through eye drops. Average vaccination price per bird mostly varies between Rs 2-5. The feasibility has taken cost of vaccination at Rs 4 per bird. 4.10 Fumiga Fumigatio tion n and Sprayi Spraying ng

It is essential to check all equipment and walls of the broiler house carefully that they are clean, and washed with disinfectant solution, and dried. The rooms should be white washed and sprayed before the arrival of birds. Disinfectant solution can be prepared with Phenol, Potassium Permanganate, Carbolic Acid and Formaline. A solution of Sodium Hydroxide/Caustic Soda with warm water can also be used to clean the house. 6 PREF-18/January, PREF-18/January, 2006/ Rev 2

Pre-Feasibility Study

Broiler Farm (7500 Birds)

To sanitize the broiler house from germs and insects, it is fumigated with Formaldehyde Gas, which is produced by putting Formaline on Potassium Permanganate. The rooms should be vacant and sealed for 30 minutes after the fumigation so that the gas infiltrates in every corner of the room. In the pre-feasibility report, the cost of fumigation has been taken as Rs 2,000 per flock.

5

MANP MANPOW OWE ER RE REQUIR QUIRE EMEN MENTS

Semi skilled workers are needed to look after the feeding, vaccination and cleaning operations at the farm. A single person can handle 3,000 birds easily. Two people will be hired to mange the operations of a broiler farm of 7,500 birds. Each attendant is given a monthly salary of Rs 4,000. In addition, a supervisor will also be hired at a monthly salary of Rs. 5,000.

Proper technical supervision of the enterprise is the key to the success of a broiler farm. Farm employees should be aware of the feeding and drinking habits of birds. The farm supervisor should be vigilant and should ensure timely feeding and vaccination, so that the birds stay healthy and disease-free. 

Market Information

The entrepreneur should be well aware of the supply and demand of chicken in the city. This will help the entrepreneur to negotiate well the sale price of birds. The price of chicken meat fluctuates tremendously during a year. 

Mortality Losses

Mortality can only be controlled if the farm conditions are hygienic. Mortality losses should be kept below 8% by timely vaccination & medication.

10 THREATS The poultry industry has some inherent issues, which can not be controlled by an individual entrepreneur. Following are some threats faced by this industry: 

Disease Epidemic

Diseases like  New Castle are extremely dangerous. They can eradicate the entire bird population, so the birds need to be protected against such type of diseases, by proper vaccination and medication. 

Government Regulations

When the government imposed a ban on marriage dinners, the industry suffered heavy losses at the time of inception of this law. Ban on marriage dinners has reduced chicken consumption by 40%.
