What is a Poultry Farm Business Plan?

A business plan provides a snapshot of your poultry farm as it stands today, and lays out your growth plan for the next five years. It explains your business goals and your strategy for reaching them. It also includes market research to support your plans.

Why You Need a Business Plan for a Poultry Farm

If you’re looking to start a poultry farm, or grow your existing poultry farm, you need a business plan. A business plan will help you raise funding, if needed, and plan out the growth of your poultry farm in order to improve your chances of success. Your poultry farming business plan is a living document that should be updated annually as your company grows and changes.

Sources of Funding for Poultry Farms

With regards to funding, the main sources of funding for a poultry farm are personal savings, credit cards, USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) loans, bank loans, and angel investors. With regards to bank loans, banks will want to review your business plan and gain confidence that you will be able to repay your loan and interest. To acquire this confidence, the loan officer will not only want to confirm that your financials are reasonable, but they will also want to see a professional plan. Such a plan will give them the confidence that you can successfully and professionally operate a business. Personal savings and USDA FSA loans are the most common funding paths for poultry farm.

How to write a business plan for a chicken farm.

If you want to start a poultry farm or expand your current one, you need a business plan. We detail each section of a traditional business plan for a poultry farming business.

Executive Summary

Your executive summary provides an introduction to your business plan, but it is normally the last section you write because it provides a summary of each key section of your plan.

The goal of your Executive Summary is to quickly engage the reader. Explain to them the type of poultry farm you are operating and its status. For example, are you a startup, do you have a poultry farm business that you would like to grow, or are you operating poultry farm businesses in multiple locations?

Next, provide an overview of each of the subsequent sections of your plan. For example, give a brief overview of the poultry farm industry. Discuss the type of poultry farm you are operating. Detail your direct competitors. Give an overview of your target customers. Provide a snapshot of your marketing plan. Identify the key members of your team. And offer an overview of your financial plan.  

Company Analysis

In your company analysis, you will detail the type of poultry farm you are operating.

For example, you might operate one of the following types of poultry farms:

• Breeder Farms : this type of poultry farm produces hatching eggs for delivery to the hatchery. After the 21 day incubation period, the hatchery then delivers the baby chicks to the broiler houses.
• Broiler Farms: this type of farm produces a 2.5 lb. to 8 lb. bird in 4 to 8 weeks which is processed for various types of retail sale to consumers, grocery stores or fast food chains as whole birds, cut-up breast, wings, thigh, drumsticks, deboned breast meat, or further processed pieces.
• Pullet Farms: this type of poultry farm produces pullets and roosters to be delivered to a breeder hen house at 20-22 weeks old when they are sexually mature to breed and lay eggs.

In addition to explaining the type of poultry farming business you will operate, the Company Analysis section of your business plan needs to provide background on the business.

Include answers to question such as:

• When and why did you start the business?
• What milestones have you achieved to date? Milestones could include the number of chickens and/or turkeys produced, number of production contracts, etc.
• Your legal structure. Are you incorporated as an S-Corp? An LLC? A sole proprietorship? Explain your legal structure here.

Industry Analysis

In your industry analysis, you need to provide an overview of the poultry farm industry.

While this may seem unnecessary, it serves multiple purposes.

First, researching the poultry farm industry educates you. It helps you understand the market in which you are operating.

Secondly, market research can improve your strategy, particularly if your research identifies market trends.

The third reason for market research is to prove to readers that you are an expert in your industry. By conducting the research and presenting it in your plan, you achieve just that.

The following questions should be answered in the industry analysis section of your poultry farming business plan:

• How big is the poultry farm industry (in dollars)?
• Is the market declining or increasing?
• Who are the key competitors in the market?
• Who are the key suppliers in the market?
• What trends are affecting the industry?
• What is the industry’s growth forecast over the next 5 – 10 years?
• What is the relevant market size? That is, how big is the potential market for your poultry farm business? You can extrapolate such a figure by assessing the size of the market in the entire country and then applying that figure to your target market.

Customer Analysis

The customer analysis section of your poultry farming business plan must detail the customers you serve and/or expect to serve.

The following are examples of customer segments: processors, grocery stores, and restaurants.

As you can imagine, the customer segment(s) you choose will have a great impact on the type of poultry farm business you operate. Clearly, processors would respond to different marketing promotions than restaurants, for example.

Try to break out your target customers in terms of their demographic and psychographic profiles. With regards to demographics, include a discussion of the ages, genders, locations and income levels of the customers you seek to serve. Because most poultry farm businesses primarily serve customers living in their same region, such demographic information is easy to find on government websites.

Psychographic profiles explain the wants and needs of your target customers. The more you can understand and define these needs, the better you will do in attracting and retaining your customers.

Competitive Analysis

Your competitive analysis should identify the indirect and direct competitors your business faces and then focus on the latter.

Direct competitors are other poultry farm businesses.

Indirect competitors are other options that customers have to purchase from that aren’t direct competitors. This includes producers of other meat such as beef, pork, or fish, as well as producers of meat alternatives. You need to mention such competition as well.

With regards to direct competition, you want to describe the other poultry farms with which you compete. Most likely, your direct competitors will be poultry farms located very close to your location.

For each such competitor, provide an overview of their businesses and document their strengths and weaknesses. Unless you once worked at your competitors’ businesses, it will be impossible to know everything about them. But you should be able to find out key things about them such as:

• What types of customers do they serve?
• What kinds of poultry do they produce (breeders, broilers, pullets)?
• What is their pricing (premium, low, etc.)?
• What are they good at?
• What are their weaknesses?

With regards to the last two questions, think about your answers from the customers’ perspective. And don’t be afraid to ask your competitors’ customers what they like most and least about them.

The final part of your competitive analysis section is to document your areas of competitive advantage. For example:

• Will you use superior production methods?
• Will you provide services that your competitors don’t offer?
• Will you provide better customer service?
• Will you offer better pricing?

Think about ways you will outperform your competition and document them in this section of your plan.  

Marketing Plan

Traditionally, a marketing plan includes the four P’s: Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. For a poultry farm business plan, your marketing plan should include the following:

Product : In the product section, you should reiterate the type of poultry farm company that you documented in your Company Analysis. Then, detail the specific products you will be offering. For example, in addition to traditional poultry, will you provide organic or cage-free poultry?

Price : Document the prices you will offer and how they compare to your competitors. Essentially in the product and price sub-sections of your marketing plan, you are presenting the products and services you offer and their prices.

Place : Place refers to the location of your poultry farm company. Document your location and mention how the location will impact your success. For example, is your poultry farm located near a processing facility, near a transportation hub, etc. Discuss how your location might be the ideal location for your customers.

Promotions : The final part of your poultry farm marketing plan is the promotions section. Here you will document how you will drive customers to your location(s). The following are some promotional methods you might consider:

• Advertising in trade papers and magazines
• Reaching out to local agriculture extension offices
• Social media marketing
• Local radio advertising

Operations Plan

While the earlier sections of your business plan explained your goals, your operations plan describes how you will meet them. Your operations plan should have two distinct sections as follows.

Everyday short-term processes include all of the tasks involved in running your poultry farm, including animal care / feeding, flock supervision, animal transportation, sourcing feed, etc.

Long-term goals are the milestones you hope to achieve. These could include the dates when you expect to sign your 20th production contract, or when you hope to reach $X in revenue. It could also be when you expect to expand your poultry farm to a new location.  

Management Team

To demonstrate your poultry farm’s ability to succeed, a strong management team is essential. Highlight your key players’ backgrounds, emphasizing those skills and experiences that prove their ability to grow a company.

Ideally you and/or your team members have direct experience in managing poultry farms. If so, highlight this experience and expertise. But also highlight any experience that you think will help your business succeed.

If your team is lacking, consider assembling an advisory board. An advisory board would include 2 to 8 individuals who would act like mentors to your business. They would help answer questions and provide strategic guidance. If needed, look for advisory board members with experience in managing farms or successfully running small businesses.  

Financial Plan

Your financial plan should include your 5-year financial statement broken out both monthly or quarterly for the first year and then annually. Your financial statements include your income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statements.

Income Statement

An income statement is more commonly called a Profit and Loss statement or P&L. It shows your revenues and then subtracts your costs to show whether you turned a profit or not.

In developing your income statement, you need to devise assumptions. For example, will you supply 50 restaurants, or produce 2,000 birds for processing each month? And will sales grow by 2% or 10% per year? As you can imagine, your choice of assumptions will greatly impact the financial forecasts for your business. As much as possible, conduct research to try to root your assumptions in reality.

Balance Sheets

Balance sheets show your assets and liabilities. While balance sheets can include much information, try to simplify them to the key items you need to know about. For instance, if you spend $50,000 on building out your poultry farming business, this will not give you immediate profits. Rather it is an asset that will hopefully help you generate profits for years to come. Likewise, if a bank writes you a check for $50,000, you don’t need to pay it back immediately. Rather, that is a liability you will pay back over time.

Cash Flow Statement

Your cash flow statement will help determine how much money you need to start or grow your business, and make sure you never run out of money. What most entrepreneurs and business owners don’t realize is that you can turn a profit but run out of money and go bankrupt.

In developing your Income Statement and Balance Sheets be sure to include several of the key costs needed in starting or growing a poultry farm business:

• Location build-out including design fees, construction, etc.
• Cost of equipment and supplies
• Payroll or salaries paid to staff
• Business insurance
• Taxes and permits
• Legal expenses

Attach your full financial projections in the appendix of your plan along with any supporting documents that make your plan more compelling. For example, you might include your farm title or lease, or blueprints of the production facility.  

Putting together a business plan for your poultry farm is a worthwhile endeavor. If you follow the template above, by the time you are done, you will truly be an expert. You will really understand the poultry farm industry, your competition, and your customers. You will have developed a marketing plan and will really understand what it takes to launch and grow a successful poultry farming business.

A few decades later, Myson’s son grew it into the large company it is today and is one of the largest poultry producers and distributors in the world.

By investing in technology, Myson was able to grow the brand. Through the development of better feeds and better disease control methods, chickens were maturing more quickly. These improvements, combined with increased competition, meant lower prices for consumers and households were able to purchase their poultry products in larger quantities.

Iowa Poultry Farm

Iowa Poultry Farms started in the 1920s when Liam Nelson sold and traded eggs by the dozen as a means to put food on the table for his family. Four generations later, the Nelson family has grown the business year-over-year to continue to meet the changing needs of the egg and pullet industry. More than 90 years of experience has established Iowa Poultry Farm as a well-respected pullet and hatching business as well as a reliant commercial egg producer under the current leadership.

The strength of Iowa Poultry Farm began when master plans for growth from the late 1980s to present day have produced new and improved pullet production facilities that have the capacity to accommodate the growth of the majority of the pullets in NPF’s proprietary facilities. Recent capital development has been invested in hatchery and breeder facilities that have the capacity to produce up to 9 million female chicks per year as well as supplementary aviary growing facilities for both cage-free and floor-grown conventional pullets.

Iowa Poultry Farm continues to innovate as a pullet and hatching business under the leadership of Frank and his son, Brett.

Writing a business plan for your poultry farm is an essential exercise because of the following reasons:

• A business plan acts as a roadmap for your business

• A business plan helps you keep track of the progress of your poultry business

A business plan as the roadmap for your poultry business

A good business plan will clarify how your business should move forward, what steps are necessary to ensure success, and how best to use the available resources. 

It also helps identify potential risks before they become problems that might detract you from meeting your business goals.

A business plan helps you to secure financing for your poultry company

Writing a poultry farm business plan is essential if you need to raise capital to start or expand, as investors and banks will use your business plan to determine if an investment in your poultry farm can generate a good return on their investment. They want to see healthy growth, profitability and cash generation outlined in your business plan.

Financiers look at your revenue projections, costs, assets, liabilities, and cashflows to make informed decisions about investing in your business. If the figures in your business plan are not persuasive, your hope of securing financing may become a distant memory. 

Therefore, your poultry business plan must be comprehensive and convincing enough to get the attention of investors and banks.

Tracking the progress of your poultry business

A well-thought-out poultry business plan allows you to evaluate your financial performance to your initial objectives: this enables you to identify any discrepancies between your expectations and reality so that corrective measures can be taken.

For example, if the operating expenses of your poultry business go up 5% more than what is in your business plan: you could make adjustments to correct the situation. 

You may also define goals and targets for the next 3 to 5 years and use your business plan to track your progress.

Market research offers insightful information on the state of the sector, including competitor analyses, consumer preferences, and trends that could influence upcoming sales. 

You should seek to answer critical questions like:

• How has the poultry sector fared in recent years?
• Who is the competition? What is my competitive edge?
• Which market segments - production, processing, and breeding - are the most lucrative?
• What are pricing and profit margins like?
• What have been the upcoming trends in consumer behaviour in the poultry sector?
• How long does it take from breeding to bird sales?
• Is the poultry sector highly seasonal? Putting into consideration festive periods.

Knowing these details will allow you to make informed decisions when creating your poultry business plan and ensure your goals are realistic and achievable.

Developing the marketing plan for a poultry farm

Before writing a poultry business plan, you must develop a comprehensive marketing plan. This will account for the budget allocated towards sales and marketing activities such as advertising, promotion, and pricing strategies.

Your marketing plan should also outline strategies you will use to sell your products/services to your target customers and any measures put in place to track progress.

The staffing and equipment needs of a poultry farm

It is critical to consider all necessary investments, such as staffing and equipment requirements, and any potential overhead costs.

For a startup entrepreneur in the poultry business sector, some of the initial costs required to bring the idea to life may include:

• Cost of renting land
• Construction costs
• Cost of buying the birds
• Vaccination
• Hiring a veterinary doctor
• Labour costs
• Equipment costs

Once you have gathered the information needed to create a business plan for a poultry farm, it is time to take the next step and make a financial forecast. This will help you determine how much money you need to invest in your farm and what kind of returns can be expected from your investments. 

What is the financial forecast for a poultry farm?

The financial forecast for a poultry farm includes the Profit and Loss (P&L) statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement. 

The projected P&L statement

A projected P&L statement for a poultry business plan provides an estimate of how much money the farm may make in the near future (3-5 years). 

It tells investors and banks if your business is expected to be profitable and by how much it is anticipated to grow. This information helps your financiers decide if they want to finance your poultry farm.

The projected balance sheet of your poultry farm

The balance sheet for a poultry business plan is an essential financial statement that helps to examine a company's present financial situation. 

It provides a snapshot of all the assets a business owns, such as cash, inventory, equipment, buildings, and property; as well as all of its liabilities like loans and accounts payable (an account that tracks credit purchases). 

This information assists lenders and investors in understanding how the poultry farm is spending its finances and evaluating your company's ability to pay its long-term debt (solvency) and short-term debt (liquidity).

The projected cash flow statement

A cash flow statement for a poultry business plan shows how much money comes in and goes out of the farm during the period under observation. 

A projected cash flow statement helps you plan and ensure that you have enough cash to operate the farm. In addition, Investors are interested in seeing how their cash will be used to grow your business.

The initial financing plan

An initial financing plan helps you keep track of the money needed to start a poultry farm. It shows how much money you need and where it should come from. The initial financing plan is also called the sources and uses table. 

The table shows all the different sources of funds, like loans or investments, and how they will be used for expenses such as buying equipment. 

A trustworthy financial forecast is a necessary component of any business plan for a poultry farm, but it is not the only piece of information needed. 

To get a holistic view of your business, readers will also need to understand the context behind the numbers - and that comes from the written part of your poultry farm business plan, which we are going to be looking at next.

The written part of a poultry business plan is composed of seven main sections:

The executive summary

The presentation of the company, the products and services section, the market analysis, the strategy section, the operations section.

• The financial plan

The executive summary section of your poultry business plan should give an overview of the other six sections of the business plan (above) and should cover the following:

• A thorough overview of the poultry business
• Your goals and objectives
• Your business strategy
• The target market
• The organisational structure of your business
• Key financials and funding requirements

The executive summary section of your business plan should grab the attention of readers and encourage them to read the rest of the business plan

When writing this section of your business plan, you should cover the structure and ownership of the farm, its location, and its management team. 

The legal structure of the farm, such as whether it is a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, etc., as well as any ownership details, such as who owns what stake in the business and how that might influence decision-making, should be clearly described.

Next, information regarding the poultry farm's location must be presented to give readers a better understanding of its potential customer base. Providing location data, such as the street address and nearby cities and transport infrastructure will give potential investors an idea of how accessible the farm is for customers.

Lastly, a description of the management team and each individual's qualifications and experience in operating a poultry farm should be included. 

Through this information, potential investors will be able to assess the level of expertise and experience that exists within the team. 

For potential investors and lenders, the products and services component of your poultry farm's business plan is critical.

It should provide detailed information on what types of poultry (chicken, duck, turkey, etc.) your farm will be raising, how many birds it plans to produce, how much land and equipment is needed to run the operations and any other relevant details about production capacities.

This section should also include an analysis of the market for your products or services to demonstrate that there is enough demand for your business to be profitable. 

This includes researching competitors’ prices and marketing strategies, understanding customer needs, identifying areas where there may be untapped potential markets, and developing a strategy to differentiate yourself from the competition.

Additionally, this section should discuss any long-term goals or objectives related to product development or expansion into new markets that may help increase profitability over time.

When writing the market analysis section of your poultry business plan, it is vital to include information about demographics and segmentation, target markets, barriers to entry and competition. 

Demographics and segmentation should focus on the characteristics of the different customer segments in your target market. This information demonstrates to lenders and investors that there is demand for what you offer, that demand is sufficient, and that you have a reasonable grasp of the market.

Additionally, including information about your target market in your business plan ensures that the products and services your business offers are in line with market demands.

Finally, the competition analysis, when effectively presented, shows how viable your target market is and how well-positioned you are to compete.

When writing the strategy section of your poultry farm business plan, it is essential to include information on your competitive edge, pricing strategy, sales and marketing plan, milestones and risks and mitigants (how you will reduce risks). 

The competitive edge should explain why customers would choose your poultry farm over other businesses offering similar services, and discuss factors such as location, quality of product or customer service standards. 

Also, the pricing strategy should detail how you intend to price products for maximum profitability while remaining competitive within the market. 

It may also be useful to explain your sales and marketing strategy, which should describe how you intend to reach your potential customers and raise brand awareness through various channels, such as social media and print advertising. 

Furthermore, milestones that demonstrate to investors that you have defined growth and development objectives should also be mentioned. 

Lastly, describing potential risks with mitigations shows that you are aware of potential difficulties and have strategies in place to deal with them.

Presenting this information clearly in a business plan helps demonstrate that you have thoroughly considered all aspects of running your poultry farm successfully before launching operations.

The operations section of your poultry farm business plan should include detailed information about your staffing team, roles of staff members, and recruitment plan. It is also vital to list the specific positions that need to be filled, including those necessary for daily operations and those needed for administrative tasks. 

This section of the business plan should also include:

• The operating hours and any shifts or required rotations.
• The essential resources and intellectual property the company needs to run, such as permits and licenses.
• Information about which suppliers you plan to partner with, what kind of services they will provide and their commercial terms. 

When you provide investors with a comprehensive overview of the operations of your poultry farm, they will be better informed about how the business is expected to run and can make an educated decision about whether or not to invest in it. 

The presentation of the financial plan

In the financial plan section, you should talk about the financial forecast that we talked about earlier in this guide. 

This section is crucial because it contains all the facts necessary to demonstrate how much cash you will require and the costs associated with operating a poultry farm.

Now that you know what to include in a poultry farm business plan, it's time to discuss the tools and resources that can be used to create one. 

What tool should I use to write my poultry farm's business plan?

The three main options for drafting a business plan for a poultry farm are: using Word and Excel, paying a consultant to write the plan, or using online business plan software.

Create your poultry farm's business plan using Word or Excel

Creating a poultry farm business plan using Word or Excel might look like a cheap solution, but these programs have their challenges. 

• You start from a blank screen with no guided instructions
• It can’t be used to construct a financial forecast
• You have to be an expert in financial modelling to come up with an accurate forecast
• It takes a long time to create a complete forecast with Excel

Even if you successfully employ Word and Excel to create your company strategy, the problem of trust still exists. Will investors trust the outcome of your forecasts? That brings us to the next point.

Hire a consultant to write your poultry farm's business plan

Outsourcing a poultry farm business plan to a consultant or accountant is a viable option that can provide you with useful assistance while developing your business plan. 

Consultants are often experienced in writing business plans and accountants can create accurate financial forecasts. 

The only drawbacks to this solution are:

• Hiring a consultant or an accountant is expensive. The bare minimum for hiring a consultant is usually $2,000 (£1,500), excluding any additional changes required after the first version.
• An accountant will only help with the financial forecast section of your plan (you’d have to hire a consultant separately).
• There is the risk of them not understanding the poultry industry adequately to make recommendations or make a strong case to your financiers.

This leaves us with the third option.

Writing the business plan for a poultry farm yourself with an online business plan software

You might want to take matters into your own hands and write your poultry business plan using online business plan software. After all, nobody understands and is more passionate about your business than you do.

Some of the advantages of using an online business plan software are:

• It makes creating a financial forecast that will wow investors a breeze
• You don’t have to start from a blank screen (like in Word) and step-by-step instructions are provided for you for each section
• Helps you to confidently create your plan without worrying that you left out a crucial part
• Detail outline ensures that everything is covered
• Ensures that your plan follows the structure that investors and lenders expect
• You save time with the clear instructions provided
• Relevant examples are provided
• No knowledge of accounting required
• You don’t have to be a financial modelling expert
• No confusing Excel formulas
• A professional business plan template is provided, in which you could replace the texts and numbers with your business details to make it your own.

Chicken Farming Business Plan For Beginners

How to start poultry farming business – chicken farming business plan for beginners.

If you are interested in being a poultry farmer, you must want to know how to start a poultry farming business for beginners, this article tell you the chicken farming business plan which could be helpful for you.

Why to Start Poultry Farming Business Plan

A Poultry farming business can be called one of the most lucrative in the world if it is managed properly. The poultry farmers now we have are not enough that’s why chicken farming business has become so much profitable. It has become the finest opportunity of making a good amount of money in a short period of time. This article will focus on the process of poultry farming, the process of poultry from small farm and how to make it a big one.

1. Fast Reproduction and Large in Numbers

A healthy layer chicken almost lays an egg every day or 4 eggs in a week sometimes it lays 7 eggs in a week too, these all depends on the quality of your birds. Some birds can lay 325 eggs in a year. And it takes 21 days to hatch. Technically this means that a layer chicken is able to produce another layer twice in three days. So, if you have 500 healthy California white birds they are capable of giving you 12,000 chicks within 40 days.

2. A Fast Growth Rate

The most interesting thing about the poultry is its high growth rate. It takes about 21 days when the eggs are hatched. After their birth it takes about 27 to 28 weeks when they are fully ready for the market. That means a poultry farmer starts earning his income in just 31 weeks after he has successfully started his poultry farming business. According to the calculation he will be able to double his income in a year. However there are some uncertainties in this business, mortality and diseases are some of them but it can be reduced by taking proper managements and vaccination.

3. Sales at a Very Profitable Price

The market price of a bird is not so low you can a good profit from it. The price of a fully grown healthy chicken is about 10 to 11 dollar in the market. So if you are the one who produce 12,000 chickens in 40 days in his farm, you obviously are making 120,000 dollar when they are sold completely.

4. The Egg Market is Also Large

The poultry egg market is also good and very profitable. With the meat business, the poultry eggs are another source of good profit. You can earn about 2 to 3 dollar for each crate of smaller eggs and 3-4 for bigger one. Every crate has 30 eggs. So if you have 500 layers in your farm and they lays 12,000 eggs in a month and if you want to sell all of them then you are making 1,500 dollar per month.

Before Starting Your Poultry Farming Business Plan

Before you start your chicken farm business, you have to make a poultry farming business plan, it is very important for all types of business. A business plan is like a road map which tells you where you are going with your business. A business plan will tell you at which point you are now in your business. Your poultry farming business plan should include the following points.

1. Select The Type of Poultry Bird

The first step of starting a poultry business is the selection of bird type. Here you will choose the type of birds is that layer chicken or broiler. You can choose any of them it totally up to you. There are some other types of birds that you can bring in your consideration. They are the duck, goose, turkey etc.

2. Select The Cage Type of Your Poultry

Another important factor consider before baking the final plan of your chicken farm is to select the chicken cage type and size. Maybe you are thinking that, this is not that much necessary to think before starting the business, but believe it actually is. Estimating over your cost over the chicken cages will affect both positively and negatively on your entire poultry business plan. So go through the cage type on our website and choose the best type of cages you need.

3. Sort out The Area of Interest

You can’t start poultry business without a goal. You have to choose a path where you want to flow your business. This will concentrate your focus in one point and will ensure higher level of professionalism but if you want to work with two areas then no problem. Here are some niches of poultry farming.

Another important sector of poultry farming is choosing the location where you will set up for your business. It has a direct impact with the start up cost. My preferable place for a poultry farm is a rural area with a road nearby. This will reduce your cost of land and labor. When you start your poultry farming business you may not want to spend all of your money for a land in urban area. There are some other difficulties in urban area with poultry farming. Govt. will not allow you to make a farm in a residential area for health issue. So it is better to select a perfect land for your business in a rural area.

Challenges in Poultry Business Startup

Poultry farming is one of the most profitable business in these days. But you have to know the risk of this business. Though there are no businesses which are beyond risk and challenges.

1. Lack of Government Support

From our previous experiences we all may think that govt. will help us at our critical time in this business. But don’t be sure about it. Prepare yourself that govt. will not help when you need them. Think that you have to run your business alone without the help of any one. Take a backup for sudden loss. It may help you to run your business properly and if you get help from the govt. think that it is a bonus.

2. A Very High Starting Capital

It is said money is everything. So without a proper funding you will not be able to run your business. Like other business, poultry farming business also needs proper funding. Without it you may not be able to add extra facilities which will increase your production rate.

You need proper funding to purchase land, poultry farm equipment, food for your chick and you need to pay your labor. In all sector you need a good capital. So you should do a research on your cost and capital you have then you should start your poultry farm business. We can provide you the poultry cage and chicken farm equipment with good price, help you to save money.

3. Disease Out Breaking

A dirty environment in your firm will invite many diseases and infections. Poultry are very sensitive to the environmental changes. If the poultry farm is not taken care of properly the birds will easily be exposed to different kinds of bacteria. You have to keep your poultry farm clean as much as possible. Automatic manure cleaning system,disinfectant fogging machineandventilating systemcan help you.

You must not bring any contaminated equipment, footwear or even vehicles. Also do not allow any visitors in your poultry farm environment.

4. Other Influencing Factors

There are some other factors that can affect your poultry farming business like proper vaccination. You have to be able to afford it may become difficult for you if you are a small scale poultry farmer. So the thing you have to do is gather some other farmers like you and buy the vaccine.

Another challenge in poultry farming is the high cost of poultry food. So it is seen that most of the farmers who have a little capital, economize or ration the food. It affects the profit in a large scale.

Marketing Analysis of Chicken Farming Business

Uk start-up visa business plan.

If you want to know how to write a business plan for a chicken farm, you need to run a thorough marketing analysis of the industry. If we look at the trends in the poultry industry, the consumption of meat in the US has been up by as much as 540% since 1940. This translates to a multibillion-dollar industry that has a scope for aggressive expansion just like a mushroom farming business plan .

However, this must also be noted that starting a chicken business is not an easy feat to undertake. This is mainly because the industry already has a lot of well-reputed and established brands that are providing the services.

Let’s explore more marketing factors related to this poultry farm business plan .

5.1 Market Trends

If you want to know how to open a chicken farm, you need to see the market trends. It can be seen that the chicken market has grown from $8.3 billion in 2008 to more than $40 billion in 2018. Experts are expecting another 300% growth in the sector by 2030. This means one thing; the business is a good one to enter.

5.2.1 Restaurants and Hotels

Our largest customers will be these. We will make agreements with them to be the sole suppliers of all their meat and eggs. This will make us a bunch of money and that too for a long period of time.

5.2.2 Grocery Stores

We’ll offer frozen meat products and eggs at the popular grocery store in the area. Once the brand makes a name for itself, this will become one of the most profitable segments of our market.

5.2.3 End Consumer

We will be opening two outlets to sell the product directly to the end consumer. This will not be a very profitable thing at the start but once we penetrate this segment of the market, we can make top dollar.

5.2.4 Chicken and Egg Retailers

We will provide our product to the retailers who have established sales and are selling product from other producers. We will offer it at a lower price to shift them to us.

5.3 Business Target

• To be a leading provider of meat and eggs in the US.
• To expand the business worldwide in 10 years.
• To establish a reputable brand of organic meat and eggs.
• To be the best meat and eggs provider in the state of Missouri.

5.4 Product Pricing

We will keep the prices low at the start to attract customers. This will be done for the first six months. Once we get customers and make a name of the brand then we can increase the prices gradually and adjust them where there is the perfect balance of sales volume and profit margin.

Marketing Strategy

It is of cardinal importance to make a strong marketing strategy if you have to establish a profitable chicken farming business. Your poultry marketing plan needs to focus on the strengths you have over the competition. The main advantage Kiley Protein has is that they are providing organic meat and eggs, something not many of the others are providing.

Let’s see how this sample business proposal for poultry farming covers the marketing part.

6.1 Competitive Analysis

• We are one of the very few businesses in the area providing organic meat and eggs. This is the biggest competitive advantage that we have.
• We will provide meat in varieties. Boneless, leg pieces, minced meat, will all be offered as different products.
• We will make deals with bulk customers and make long term agreements with them to be their sole suppliers.

6.2 Sales Strategy

• We will use YouTube and Facebook ads to advertise out product and highlight how are we better.
• We will send salespersons to large customers (hotels and fast-food chains) to sign long term agreements.
• For the average customer, we will offer discounted rates and lucky draws on every purchase to attract sales.

Personnel plan

This business plan for poultry farm pdf also covers the staff that will be needed to run the farm and all of its operations. Just like a pig farming business plan , this business also needs quite a bit of staff to keep the farm running.

7.1 Company Staff

• Kiley Lawson will be the owner and the CEO of the chicken farming business.
• 2 Managers for procurement and sales.
• 1 Doctor to run the farm.
• 8 Handlers to feed and look after the chicken.
• 3 Drivers for the delivery trucks.
• 4 Salesmen to tun the outlets.
• 4 Delivery boys to deliver the online orders.

7.2 Average Salary of Employees

Financial plan.

The next thing this start chicken farming business plan needs to cover is the financial plan, an estimate of all the costs involved in setting up this business. Just like a goat farming business plan , we need to have an estimate before we start it.

Here are the costs that the owner will have to arrange:

• The cost of setting up the farm and procuring the machinery.
• The salaries of the staff of the farm for the first 6 months.
• The cost of food for the chicken for the first lot (40 days).
• The cost of setting up outlets to sell the product.

Poultry Farming Business Plan Information

Table of contents, advantages of poultry farming, business plan for poultry farming:, introduction to poultry business.

Today, Let us talk about poultry farming business plan.

Poultry farming is a type of agricultural method in which the birds are raised commercially. This is done for the production of meat and eggs. Basically, poultry farming involves chicken, ducks, turkeys, young pigeons. But chicken is the one which has huge market demand across the globe and hence most of the poultry farmers prefer growing chicken when they set up a farm.

Because of the population, which is raising across the world, the need for the poultry food is also becoming high because of the protein content present in it.

• The chicken will produce meat and also eggs. This will be two ways of food resources. The eggs can also be sold along with the meat on the farm.
• The price of the chicken is also at a very good rate in the market.
• You can also start the farm with less capital and gradually grow up as per the circumstances and the market.
• The return on investments will be very good in poultry farming.
• It makes use of less water when compared to other types of farming for cleaning and also drinking. 2 liters of water will be sufficient for 10 birds.
• The dropping of the poultry will be rich in the content of nitrogen and the materials which are organic. Hence, these can be used as fertilizers to the plants. The poultry farmer can sell the manure to the crop farmers in the locality.

The poultry industry has many sub-sections in it as it is a very broad one. It is not only about the breeding of chicken and it has many sections to take up as a business. It has many sections like

• Production of eggs, which is also called a layer breeding.
• Production of meat which is also called broiler breeding.
• Production of feed of poultry.
• Manufacture of the equipment required in poultry.
• Processing of eggs and meat.
• Packaging and marketing the eggs and meat.
• Marketing the poultry.
• You can also start a consultancy for poultry which would help the farmers.
• This selection of the section of poultry farming you need to choose can be done by analysing your local market first. After analysing your market, you need to meet the poultry farmers in your locality and discuss the profits and losses of the farming.
• Then you need to choose the type of birds you want to rear in the poultry farm. There are many kinds of birds which come under poultry farming and some of them are chicken broilers and layers, pigeon, turkey, duck, quail etc.
• You also have a choice between rearing of layers or broilers. Layer farming will be done to raise the birds only for the purpose of the production of eggs. If you want to produce meat, then you need to go with the broilers as broilers have much ability to gain the weight with less feed which in turn leads to better returns.
• Then you need to choose the investment you were ready to make in order to set up a poultry farm of your choice of bird and section. You also have an option of starting a poultry farm as a small scale firm as it can be grown gradually depending on the returns.
• For a small-scale poultry farm, the investment would be generally from Rs. 35,000/- to Rs.1, 05,000/-. If you want to start a poultry farm on a medium scale, then the investment would be from Rs.1, 40,000/- to Rs.3, 50,000/-. To start a poultry farm on a large scale, then the investment would be up to Rs.7, 00,000/-.
• After selecting the capital, you need to go with the selection of a good location for your poultry farm. The location you choose will be the main scope for success. The location of the poultry farm should be in such a way that the land over there should be cheap and the locality should have a good population for consumption.
• You should also make sure that the poultry farm is close to the market area so that the transportation costs would be reduced. You need to choose a place which is convenient for you in terms of capital and also customers.

• Extensive housing system : This is the oldest system which is followed in poultry farming. This system of housing is the one which allows the birds free on the ground which is called the range. This range will be providing the poultry with feed, water, shelter, etc. The birds will search for the food and have it. Even the shelter provided to the poultry will be a roof which is temporary and will be supported by the poles. Up to 400 birds can be reared at a place by using extensive housing system. But the land for an extensive farming system should be more as the chicken should be free to move from one place to another.
• Semi-Intensive system: This type of housing system is carried by the small-scale firms of poultry farming. In this method, half of the rearing is done in the cages and in the other half, the poultry would be freed from the cages and live on the ground which is also called a field. The birds will be kept in the houses at night times mostly. The house will be very simple with a rood which is thatched and the floor slatted. These houses will help the birds by protecting them from bad weather conditions and few predators. 5 birds will be stocked per square meter in the houses.
• Deep-litter system: In this system of housing, the birds are kept in large pens on the ground. This system is mainly followed while raising broilers. The floor will have straw, sawdust, or leaves. These will be at a depth of 3 inches from the ground. Up to seven birds will be raised per square meter in this type of housing. The feed and access will be provided easily to the birds in this system and the eggs laid by the birds also can be collected easily.
• Slatted or wired housing systems : These houses will be small with their floor with wooden slater wired mesh. The slats will be placed at a height of 4 feet from the ground. Up to eight birds can be grown in a square meter. Feeding the birds and watering them can be done from the external environment of the house. Even the collection of eggs can be done from outside. These houses have a low temperature which makes the environment in it cool. Because of this, it is always advisable to raise adults in such houses.

• The equipment required for the poultry farming will be in large numbers. The houses should be provided for the birds, feeders should be bought for feeding the birds, you need to have a system of waste disposal, water sources, providing heat and also the light, storage facilities for eggs and meat. So, in order to get everything, you need to make a list of all the items or machinery required. Then make an inquiry regarding the prices of those machineries in different stores. Come to a conclusion of where to purchase by selecting the store which gases reasonable prices with good reviews. The equipment required for poultry farming would be feeders, nests, incubators, heaters, egg trays, cages, waste disposal bins or systems etc.
• Feeding of the poultry birds is the most important factor in poultry farming. Most of the expenses will be occurred for feeding the birds. The feed can be bought from the stores as well as produced by yourself. The production of feed on the farm itself will help you to reduce the cost and also maintain the health of the birds. By preparing the feed by yourself, you can also sell it to the farmers in your locality which will make it a good business. If the formula for feed is right with the right ingredients, then it will help to improve the health of the birds.
• To operate the poultry farm, labour is required. It would be easy for you to install technology for your poultry farm so that there would be less dependent on the labor. Coming to the manpower required to maintain a poultry farm, this is completely dependent on the size of the farm. The size of the farm indicates the number of birds in it. There should also be a supervisor who would manage the entire manpower and check if all the responsibilities are carried accordingly. You can also use the supervisor as an accountant. It would be better if you recruit a person who would manage the accounts as a supervisor so that you can get the costs reduced. It would also help you if you have a person who would permanently stay in the fam for the sake of security so that he can check if there is any problem in the flow of the farm when there is no one available.
• The poultry farmers generally ignore the accounting and records which will create major problems further. The records should be maintained on a regular basis in order to keep track of the production, egg laying, performance of birds, etc. If you do not have any dedicated person to maintain the records, it would be better to install a software which will help you in the management of the farm.
• The birds in the poultry farm should be checked regularly in terms of health. The vaccination should be done at the proper time to prevent the diseases which they are prone to. The medicines also should be given at the proper time in order to ensure healthy growth. It would be better if you have a personal veterinary doctor in your farm who would be taking care of the vaccinations and the medications of the birds in your poultry farm.
• Marketing is the most important thing which needs care when you are running a poultry farm. You need to make sure that you are reaching the right customers by following the techniques of marketing. You should make use of the marketing strategies if you want to be a good producer in the market.

The cattle industry converts locally produced resources, forages, into dollars that are “spent at home” and supports the growth of local economies and jobs. Cattle also contribute to the aesthetic environment of the state in that they help to maintain the "green space" that makes Tennessee attractive to both residents and tourists.

Following are some facts about the Tennessee beef industry that will illustrate its importance to Tennessee and why it has grown to its current level:

• More Tennessean's are involved in beef production than any other agricultural enterprise. There are 79,000 farms in Tennessee and beef cattle are found on 42,000 (53.0 percent) of these.
• Tennessee is one of the top beef-producing states in the nation. Tennessee ranks 9th in the nation in beef cow numbers and 15th in total cattle. Tennessee exceeds all states east of the Mississippi, except Kentucky, in numbers of cattle. Only Texas, Missouri and Oklahoma have more cow-calf operations than Tennessee. More than 2.13 million cattle in Tennessee are valued at slightly more than $1.62 billion. Fifty-one percent of these cattle, or 1.2 million, are beef cows.
• Tennessee's beef cow numbers have increased 360 percent since 1955. This increase can be attributed to several factors: the decline in dairy production; reduction in acres devoted to row crop production; increase in pasture acreage; growth of local manufacturing, resulting in off-farm employment opportunities; age of the operator or farm owner; and the number of farms that have been passed on to the succeeding generation. A large number of the state's cattle producers now reside on this acreage and have employment off the farm.
• Sale of cattle and calves is the number one source of agricultural income in Tennessee. The cattle industry has held this position for a number of years. The cash receipts from the sale of cattle and calves during 2009 totaled $582 million which was 22.5 percent of the state's total agricultural income and 1.2 times greater than the number 2 Agricultural sales. These monies stay in the state's and local economics. National Cattlemen's Beef Association economists report that every dollar made in cattle sales is multiplied or turned four times. This means that the state's cattle industry generates an additional $2.6 billion of business activity for the state's economy. This activity also contributes to the sales tax revenue (free poultry farming business plan doc; poultry farming business plan excel).
• Beef production in Tennessee is based on producing and marketing feeder cattle. Feeder cattle production starts with cow-calf operations which make up 88 percent of the state's beef operations. The remaining 10 percent are backgrounding or stockering operations. Tennessee annually markets more than 750,000 feeder calves to backgrounding operations and feedlots, primarily in the Midwest and High Plains areas of the country.
• Beef production provides an opportunity for Tennessee agriculture to secure monetary returns from several thousand acres of land not suitable for intensive agricultural production. Beef cattle are ruminants. They have the ability to consume materials such as grass and hay and convert them into a much more valuable, easier-to-market product. Approximately 85 percent of the total feed used in the production of a slaughter beef animal comes from forage, roughages and other by-products that are not edible by humans or other simple-stomached livestock. About five million acres, or 40 percent, of the state's agricultural land is in forage production. Pasture is grown on areas that would otherwise provide little opportunity for agricultural revenue.
• Beef cattle farms contribute to the state's natural beauty. The pasture that cattle graze results in a great deal of "green space" for both tourists and residents to enjoy. The pastures also aid in reducing soil erosion and benefit and encourage development of wildlife.
• Beef cattle fit well with, and complement other agricultural enterprises. As a result, the sale of cattle is not the major source of income for a large percentage of Tennessee farms. A recent survey revealed that tobacco, row crops, other livestock enterprises and miscellaneous agricultural enterprises were also sources of financial support for approximately 60 percent of Tennessee cattle producers.
• A large percentage of beef cattle are owned by producers with off-farm employment. Data collected in the 1996 beef survey indicated that 48.7 percent of beef producers are employed off the farm. Beef cattle production requires less labor and smaller investments in equipment and facilities than do other agricultural enterprises. This makes it attractive to land owners who have off-farm employment. Tennessee's average farm size, 144 acres and the 29.3-cow average size herd also facilitate off-farm employment.
• Fifteen purebred cattle breed associations are leaders in breeding and marketing seed stock. These purebred breeders annually provide the Tennessee beef industry more than 14,000 bulls which annually provide half the genetic makeup of the state's calf crop.
• Thirty-eight weekly livestock auction markets allow producers the opportunity to market cattle year-round. In addition, several local feeder cattle marketing associations and marketing alliances carry out in-barn cooperative feeder calf sales, tele-auctions, video and board sales. Cattle grading and marketing assistance are provided by the Tennessee Department of Agriculture.
• The beef industry is well served and represented by the Tennessee Cattlemen's Association, Tennessee Beef Cattle Improvement Association, Tennessee Beef Industry Council and the Tennessee Farm Bureau Federation. Feed, health products, equipment, veterinary services and production inputs are accessible in all areas of the state. The Tennessee Department of Agriculture aids in marketing, health, and regulatory programs. Educational and research support are provided by the University of Tennessee Extension, UT AgResearch and College of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Tennessee.
• Beef cattle fits well with the life style. People enjoy working with beef cattle and it fits well with the rural life style people are seeking.
• The beef industry is the most important agricultural enterprise in the state. More people are involved than in any other agricultural enterprise and it is the greatest source of agricultural income. The Tennessee beef industry will continue to grow. Beef cow numbers will remain at 1.0 to 1.2 million and the backgrounding of feeder calves is expected to increase. The greatest opportunity for increased income to Tennessee agriculture is in beef production. Because of its climate, topography and other changes in agriculture, Tennessee will continue to produce acreage of pasture and forage, contributing to beef cattle continuing as the agricultural enterprise of choice.

4.1 Market Segmentation

The cattle market is a commodities based market. Prices are determined on market demand basis.  According to the United States Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service, the retail equivalent value of U.S. beef industry as remained between $70-75 throughout the last five years and beef production has reduced slightly to just over 26 billion pounds annually (2009).   The cattle market constantly fluctuates, but is and will continue to be a staple commodity with steady demand. Large cattle farms face the most uncertainties, due to the effect price drops and increase in feeding costs have on their return that is based on a low margin/ high demand basis. 

Table: Market Analysis

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy

COMPANY NAME will focus on selling beef calves from the farm and hay production. These are optimal revenue producing streams for the farm and will utilize the family's operating resources. The farm will maximize the use of running the farming operation on land that will be purchased by the far to minimize operating costs and create an asset for the farm.   The INSERT NAME come from a family in the cattle business and will only be expanding the volume previous performed by the family. Additionally the farm will have their son, INSERT NAME involved on full-time basis cutting and baling hay, which will be the farms secondary revenue source.

4.3 Industry Analysis

Beef cattle production in Tennessee is based on inventory of beef cows. Tennessee is one of the top producing states in the nation. Tennessee ranks ninth in beef cow numbers and is one of the top four states in cow-calf operations. Of the states of the Mississippi River, only Kentucky has more cattle.    Beef cattle are produced on 51% of the farms in Tennessee. Of 42,000 plus beef cattle farms most are small operations: 37,000 farms have 1-49 beef cows, 4100 have 50-99, 1375 have 100-500 and 25 have more than 500 beef cows.

4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns

COMPANY NAME sells beef calves and hay of high quality to various buyers.  In the last few years no one predicted the severity of the market correction and certainly no one predicted all of the ramifications across world economies and markets.  US consumers do not have as much disposable income to spend on beef steaks.  Consumers saw their 401K plans lose 40% of its value and many saw the value of their homes decrease.  Some suddenly found themselves in the unemployment lines.  Many were forced to cut back on their purchases.  This reduced the demand for beef.  More uncertainty in markets tended to lower prices.  Retailers were and continue be unsure of what consumers will buy, and so they tend to reduce their purchases from wholesalers.  Processors do not want to be stuck with large inventories that they might not be able to sell, so they tend to cut back on large purchases of commodities.  This uncertainty in the marketing channel furthers reduces demand for most commodities.

Business Model

The Broiler Poultry Farming Business Model revolves around a straightforward yet highly profitable process. It all begins with the purchase of day-old chicks, which serve as the foundation of your broiler flock. These chicks are carefully selected for their genetic potential to achieve rapid growth and efficient meat production. Once in your care, you provide them with the appropriate housing, ensuring optimal conditions for their growth and development. A crucial aspect of broiler farming is the efficient management of their diet, as the major expenses in this venture are attributed to the cost of day-old chicks and feed.

As the chicks grow, typically within a span of 5-7 weeks, they reach maturity, and this is when you can reap the rewards of your efforts. The broilers can be sold in two main forms: as live birds or as dressed birds, depending on the preferences of your target market. The revenue generated from selling these mature broilers significantly exceeds the input costs and operational expenses, resulting in a healthy profit margin. What makes this business model particularly attractive is its repetitiveness throughout the year, allowing you to maintain a consistent stream of income by continually raising and selling batches of broilers. This cyclical approach to broiler farming ensures financial stability and growth in your poultry venture.

Land for Broiler Poultry Farming

Selecting the right land is a fundamental step in establishing a successful broiler poultry farming operation. The choice of land can significantly impact the efficiency and profitability of your venture. When acquiring land for broiler poultry farming, it’s crucial to consider several key factors. Firstly, the location and accessibility of the land are paramount. The site should be easily reachable by road to facilitate the transportation of feed, day-old chicks, and mature birds, while also being situated at a distance away from residential or industrial areas to avoid unwanted noise and odors for neighboring inhabitants. Proximity to markets and suppliers can also reduce logistical challenges and costs.

Furthermore, ensure that sufficient water supply is readily available at the broiler farm, as water is essential for the health and well-being of the birds. Access to electricity is equally important to power the necessary equipment and lighting systems. To mitigate the risk of flooding, it’s advisable to construct the broiler house on elevated land with proper drainage systems in place. Low-lying areas should be avoided, as they are prone to flooding and can jeopardize the safety and well-being of your broiler flock. Also consider the availability of affordable labor, as staffing costs can significantly impact the profitability of your broiler chicken farming business.

You must assess zoning and regulatory requirements in the area to ensure that poultry farming is permitted. Compliance with local laws is essential to avoid legal issues. The size and layout of the land should be sufficient to accommodate your planned broiler housing, feed storage, and other necessary infrastructure. You should also consider environmental conditions, access to utilities, soil quality, security, and biosecurity measures. Evaluating these factors, along with the cost of land, will help you make an informed decision.

Broiler Poultry Housing

Good housing is an important aspect of the broiler poultry farming business. A good broiler house has the following features : it protects the broiler birds from adverse weather conditions, has a good ventilation system, gives adequate space for the broilers to move around, provides easy access to feed and water. Failure to provide good housing for your broilers will lead to disastrous loses for your poultry farming business. The broiler chicken house should be constructed in such a way that its long axis is in a east-west direction – this helps by minimizing the amount of sunlight that would enter the broiler house. A proper ventilation system should be available in the broiler house so as to provide fresh air to the birds and remove excess heat and moisture. The broiler chicken house should be designed to deal with both extremes – hot weather and cold weather. Good temperature control will enhance feed conversion and growth rate, making your broiler poultry farming business more profitable. The broiler poultry farming business plan should include the costs of the BROILER housing construction. 

Equipment for Poultry Farm

Adequate poultry equipment is essential for raising healthy and profitable broiler chickens. Essential equipment for a broiler poultry farm include feeding equipment. Broilers chickens should have easy access to the poultry feeds – this is made possible by purchasing the right type of feeders. Good feeding equipment should : have a safe design for the chickens, provide clean & fresh feed to the broilers, offer easy access to the feed, and be easy to clean. You can use manual feeders or automatic feeding system depending on the size of your broiler poultry farm and your budget. Drinking equipment are also required when raising broiler chickens. Broilers should always have access to water as water is an important component which supports the growth of broiler chickens. Drinking equipment for broilers can be : water basin, automatic belly waterer, nipple drinker or manual drinker. Each type of poultry drinking equipment has its own advantages and disadvantages. Other additional equipment for a poultry farm include lighting system, heaters, brooders, weighing scales and waste disposal system. The cost of poultry farm equipment should be included in the poultry farming business plan.

Broiler Day Old Chicks

Healthy broiler day old chicks are required for you to be profitable in your poultry farming business. Good quality chicks will minimize the rate of mortality thus ensuring that a high number of birds will survive up to maturity – which implies more profitability for your broiler chickens farming business. Features of good quality broiler day old chicks include : a deep yellow colour, large well developed chick, navels which are well closed, no deformity on the body and the chicks should be active and alert. Research about your chicks supplier before purchasing – always buy the day old chicks from reputable and accredited hatcheries.  You can also consult other poultry farmers on where they purchase their day old chicks from. Day old chicks should be handled with care when transporting them to your farm to avoid mortality during the transportation. The broiler poultry farming business plan should include the costs of acquiring the broiler day old chicks.

Feed And Nutrition

Feed is required to support the growth of the broiler chickens. Broiler chickens require a variety of nutrients inorder to stay healthy and grow to their full potential.

Essential nutrients required by broiler chickens include proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates and minerals. These nutrients are all found in commercial broiler stock feeds. There are 3 types of broiler feeds which are given to the birds at different growth stages. These are Broiler Starter feeds, Broiler Grower feeds, and Broiler Finisher feeds. Water is also required to support efficient growth of the broiler chickens. You will also need a b roiler stress pack/vitamin supplements which  can be used to promote growth of commercial broilers and chicks, and also to combat stress during periods of high temperature, after vaccination and as an aid in recovery from disease to boost performance of the stock. All the feed costs should be included in your poultry farming business plan.

Additionally, strict biosecurity measures must be in place to prevent the introduction and spread of diseases. This includes controlling access to your farm, disinfecting equipment and vehicles, and establishing quarantine areas for new birds. Regularly monitor the health of your flock through routine inspections, and be prepared to take immediate action if any signs of illness or distress are observed.

In the event of disease outbreaks, it’s crucial to have a contingency plan in place. Isolate infected birds to prevent the spread of disease and consult with a veterinarian to determine the appropriate treatment or culling measures.

Efficient feed management is paramount, as feed expenses often represent a significant portion of your costs. To maximize profitability, invest in high-quality feed, closely monitor feed conversion rates, and avoid overfeeding to minimize waste. Maintaining the health of your broiler flock is equally essential. Implement a robust health management program that includes regular vaccinations, stringent biosecurity measures, and proactive monitoring to prevent diseases and reduce mortality rates. By keeping your broilers healthy, you can reduce the need for costly treatments and ensure steady growth.

The environment in which your broilers are raised plays a pivotal role in profitability. Adequate housing and ventilation are critical components of this equation. Your housing facilities should provide a comfortable environment with proper ventilation, temperature control, and insulation to minimize stress and promote optimal growth. Efficient staffing is also key to managing day-to-day operations effectively. Well-trained and knowledgeable staff can help reduce errors, improve productivity, and ensure the overall welfare of your broilers. Additionally, market timing is a critical consideration.

Engaging in a broiler poultry farming business presents a range of compelling advantages that make it an enticing venture in the agricultural industry. Firstly, the rapid turnaround to profitability is a standout feature. Broilers are known for their efficient growth, reaching market weight in just 5 to 7 weeks. This means that farmers can realize a relatively fast return on investment compared to other livestock enterprises, making broiler farming an attractive option for those seeking quicker financial returns.

Furthermore, the steady and ever-increasing demand for poultry meat, especially chicken, is a significant driving force behind the success of broiler poultry farming. The affordability, versatility, and perceived health benefits of chicken contribute to a consistent and growing market. This ensures stability and reduces the risks associated with market fluctuations and seasonal variations, providing farmers with a reliable source of income.

Compared to some other livestock businesses, broiler farming demands less capital in terms of infrastructure and equipment. This accessibility enables individuals with limited financial resources to enter the poultry farming industry without significant financial barriers. Moreover, broilers’ remarkable feed conversion efficiency minimizes feed costs, contributing to overall profitability, as less feed is needed to produce a unit of meat compared to many other livestock species. These advantages make broiler poultry farming a compelling and potentially lucrative endeavor.

Survey on rural chicken production system was conducted in three peasant associations of Haramaya Woreda of Oromia regional state to generate information on the problems and constraints emending the developments of their community with particular emphasis on poultry production and to list the possible opportunities and strategies that could solve these problems. A total of 120 households were used for the survey work. Finally, all the data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics. About 77.5% of all the respondents share family dwellings with poultry, attributed to the small flock size, low priority given to chicken and relatively high cost of poultry house construction. The results obtained clearly showed that poultry diseases are widely spread in the Woreda and farmers pointed out that, Newcastle Disease, fowl cholera; respiratory diseases and predators are responsible for the major losses of birds in the study sites. Almost all the respondents reported poultry and poultry product market price fluctuation attributed to limitation in land holding, disease occurrence and low purchasing power of the consumers. About 100% of the respondents reported to keep different classes of chicken together, the practice of which facilitates transmission of diseases. In summary the results of this study tends to indicate that production performance of indigenous chicken is low under traditional production practice and need to be improved.

This experiment is designed to study the characteristics of village chicken husbandry practice, marketing and constraints in eastern Ethiopia. The study was conducted from July in four selected districts in the highlands of eastern Ethiopia (Haramaya, Kersa, Jarso and Meta). A total of 80 chicken owner households were randomly selected and interviewed using a structured questionnaire. Data on characteristics of village chicken production, feeds and feeding practices, housing, management of chicken and eggs, Marketing, diseases and constraints of village chicken production system were collected. Scavenging chicken production system is observed in all households of the districts. Average flock size of chickens in the study area was 9.4 birds and varied between 4 and 17 birds. In the present study, 82% of the households provide overnight housing within the family house for their chicken. Scavenging is the only feeding system encountered in all study districts with little grain supplementation. Most of the chicken are owned and managed by women (36.75%). Selling of unprocessed eggs and live chickens is mainly practiced. External parasites (mites), Coccidiosis and Newcastle disease were the most important and prevailing diseases in the study area with 39%, 38% and 34% incidence rates, respectively. The magnitude of occurrence of the parasites and diseases were higher in the wet season. Poor genetic quality, lack of extension service, inadequate veterinary service and poor management were the main constraints of village poultry production in the study area.
