Title: Basic Requirement For starting a Broiler Farm


1
BROILER FARM
  • BASIC REQUIREMENT FOR STARTING A

2
CHOOSE THE BIRD TYPE
  • Owners of poultry farms hold various types of
    bird types. Your small poultry farm may begin by
    concentrating on two to three birds before adding
    more birds as the business grows. Poultry farms
    mainly grow poultry as broiler birds in the form
    of chickens. As the demand for other domestic
    birds such as duck, goose, guinea-fowl, and
    turkey is significantly less.

SET FARM LOCATION
  • The location must have all the facilities
    required. Try building your poultry farm a little
    further away from town to make land and labor
    cheaper.
  • However, it would be a mistake to set the farm
    too far from the nearest town. To target your
    customers, you must visit a city more often. In
    addition, the transport will cost you more in a
    place too far away from the city.
  • In backyard farming, there are countless choices
    for those looking to raise chickens. Some add
    walls, lighting, windows, even green roofing
    plants, which keep cool in summer. Protection
    from the predator is possibly a big problem.
  • You can easily reorganize an existing outhouse
    for a chicken house and start backyard poultry
    farming there.

EQUIPMENTS (FEEDING OPTIONS)
  • Commercially raised chickens are usually given
    what is known as a complete diet. It includes
    everything required for proper growth and bird
    health proteins, energies, vitamins, minerals,
    and other nutrients.
  • Chicks are fed a high-protein diet from the age
    of 6 to 8 weeks shortly after hatching.
    Afterward, they switch to a diet of more calories
    than protein for a finisher or developer. All
    kinds of beans and peas provide a decent dietary
    protein but must be processed (roasted or
    steamed)

EQUIPMENTS (TECHNICAL)
  • Hatcher
  • Infra-red bulbs
  • Linear feeder
  • Linear waterer/Channel type waterers
  • A syringe with needle/vaccine droppers
  • Water heaters
  • Water softeners and filters
  • Automatic feeder
  • Automatic vaccinator
  • Brooder and Chick guard
  • Charcoal and Kerosene stove
  • Circular feeder
  • Compressed air system
  • Electrical heaters (heating rods or coils)
  • Gas and electrical brooders

GIVE YOUR FARM AN IDENTITY
  • You have to name your farm properly when you step
    into the poultry business. There are plenty of
    ideas on farm names. But choose the one that best
    suits your farm. A second important step is to
    provide a unique logo for your business in the
    poultry farm. When you produce and sell your
    product, your logo will be everywhere your
    product goes.

7
ARRANGE FUNDS (SELF FINANCE)
  • You will need funds to finance your business.
    That is, you will need money to pay for
    equipment, land, services, etc. The sum required
    for starting a small-scale poultry farm ranges
    typically from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1.5 lakh. The
    funds needed for a medium-size poultry company
    range from Rs. 1.5 to Rs.3.5 lakh approximately.
    With investment close to Rs. 7 lakh, you can
    start large-scale poultry farms.

ARRANGE FUNDS (LOAN)
  • Business owners can opt for commercial loans from
    different financial institutions such as banks
    and NBFCs and start their poultry businesses to
    meet these needs. It is a smart choice to opt for
    a corporate loan because it allows company owners
    to make investments without using life-savings

HIRE PROFESSIONALS
  • Many aspects of poultry farming should only be
    dealt with by professional people familiar with
    the details. Therefore, only recruit specialists
    with a strong background in agriculture. However,
    if you can include technology, agriculture is not
    labor-intensive.
  • However, to be aware of the day-to-day business
    operations, you would also need an administrative
    officer or manager. Recruit a manager who can
    also act as your accountant. This will help you
    save on staffing costs.

10
MARKETING AND ADVERTISEMENT
  • It is impossible to accomplish your business
    goals without getting a marketing strategy.
    Ensure that your products demands and supply are
    adequately analyzed so that you can market it
    better. You should have a customer profile ready
    as well.
  • You can take cheaper ways to meet your customers.
    For example, create and distribute flyers that
    make your poultry products unique. An innovative
    flyer will attract the recipients attention
    right away, and many will be interested in your
    farm goods. Give your business card to you when
    you contact people and customers. You are here to
    present your business professionally.

CONCLUSION
  • Thus, you should keep the following things in
    mind before entering the poultry business-
  • Appropriate housing that permits natural
    behavior, including outdoor access.
  • No antibiotics, drugs or synthetic parasiticides.
  • Organic processing of meat and eggs
  • Natural treatments 
  • Rearing of birds without cages
  • Access to the environment.
  • Stress management
  •  Production that does not contribute to
    contamination of soil or water
  •  Outdoor access
  • Grazing management
  • Pasture management
  • A production that does not contribute to
    contamination of soil or water
