Processed broiler is a fast process to make money in broiler farming. Within 7 weeks, a broiler farm is on the verge of making thousands, millions if properly planned.
This kind of operation favours the festive rearing for commercial consumption, an individual who wishes to do processed broiler just have to wait patiently for 6-7 weeks, and with the market already planned with his production surely will make good sum of money.
Before an individual venture into processing broilers, the fundamental knowledge of broilers has to be gotten. Whether it been processed or festive broilers, you cannot run a broiler operation without fundamental knowledge of this niche of poultry farming.
*The analysis of setting up 500 broilers for processing in 7 weeks is shown below.*
👉🏻 *It is very important, that uniformity must be constantly achieved in broiler processing.* In 6-7 weeks, a broiler farmer should have attained 80% uniformity in birds so as to benefit 80% in marketing. Uniformity influences marketing, if there should be slightly difference in body weight of birds, it should be of 20% in birds uniformity, and not in a bad scenario where uniformity rates is complicated. Good Uniformity rates in birds influences marketing, generates high revenue and good profitability
👉🏻 *Cost of broilers chicks at day old at a lower price =#150 * 500 chicks = #75,000*
👉🏻 *Heating for 2 weeks in birds with natural sources like kerosene =#2,000*
👉🏻 *Drugs bought for the period of 7 weeks #7,000*
👉🏻 *Feeding plan: A broiler should consume minimum of 4kg in 8 weeks = 4kg * 500 broilers = 2,000kg / 25kg a bag = 80 bags of feeds for 8 weeks. If you concentrate on 7 weeks production it should be lesser like 70 bags.*
👉🏻 *But with your milling of feeds you cut down cost of feeds by 20%*
👉🏻 *Feeds bought for 8 weeks should be starter and finisher mash* *40 bags of starter mash, 40 bags of finisher mash*
👉🏻 *A bag of starter at a reduced price #3600 * 40bags =#144,000*
👉🏻 *A bag of finisher at a reduced rate #3500 * 40 bags =#140,000*
👉🏻 *Total cost of production for 7 weeks*
👉🏻 *Cost of day old chicks = #75,000*
👉🏻 *Heating cost =#2,000*
👉🏻 *Miscellaneous cost =#2,000*
👉🏻 *Transportation costs =#2,000*
👉🏻 *Drugs cost =#7,000*
👉🏻 *Feed costs #144,000 + #140,000 = #284,000*
👉🏻 *Total costs #372,000*
👉🏻 *Working with mortality rate of 5% = 480 broilers left for processing. That is why it is important to buy more than the initial amount for rearing so that even with mortality, you still have your initial amount ready for processing. (I.e For instance your initial rearing amount is 500 broilers you stock 520 broilers, so when mortality comes in after production, in some cases you are left with your initial 500 birds or more than that.)
*Marketing plan for 500 broilers at 7 weeks for processing*
👉🏻 It is important a farmer must attain uniformity rare in broilers and with 80% uniformity in 7 weeks is good. Uniformity in poultry production influences marketing, a farmer can be on the loosing or gaining sides if he/she in such scenario is affected by uniformity positively or negatively. Uniformity plays a big role in marketing and with revenue generation. It is ideal for a poultry farmer should achieve 60% uniformity between 4-5 weeks and 80% uniformity in 7-8 weeks so that he/she gains full profit from the farming enterprise.
*Working with 80% uniformity in 500 broilers at 7 weeks for processing with body weight minimum at 2.5kg and maximum 3kg.*
👉🏻 *Out of 500 broilers*
*250 at 2.5kg, with selling price per kg @#700 = #700 *2.5kg after feathers plucking with 0.3% loss in weight
700*2.5kg =#1,750 per bird. And with 250 broilers having the same body weight. #1750 * 250 broilers = #437,500
*250 broilers at 3kg, with selling price per kg =#700 * 3kg = #2,100*
*#2100 * 250 broilers at 3kg =#525,000.*
👉🏻 *Total revenue generated = #437500 + #525,000* *= #962,500.*
*Total revenue @#962,500 - cost of production@#372,000.*
👉🏻 *Profit = #590,500*
