06Machines and items you need
The basic broiler poultry farming unit needs these items. Total cost is ₹4.5 lakh — building/civil ₹2.5 lakh, machinery ₹19 thousand and working capital ₹1.7 lakh.
| Item | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Shed (~1,000 sq ft) | 1 sq ft per bird, east-west, mesh and curtains — the main cost |
| Feeders | Separate for chicks and grown birds |
| Drinkers | Clean water at all times |
| Brooder / heater | Warmth for chicks in the first 7–10 days |
| Litter (rice husk/sawdust) | Fresh for every batch |
| Weighing scale and sprayer | Weight checks and disinfectant spraying |
| Per-batch supplies | Chicks, feed, vaccines, medicine, power — working capital |
Before the DPR, take fresh quotations from 2–3 suppliers — the bank asks for them.
07How the work is done — from start to sale
- Clean the shed: Remove old litter, wash, apply lime and disinfectant.
- Get brooding ready: Litter, heater, water and feed ready before chicks arrive.
- Day-old chicks: From a reliable hatchery; check count and weight.
- Feed: Pre-starter, starter, finisher — by age.
- Vaccines: Ranikhet, Gumboro and others on time.
- Sale: Sell at about 2 kg in 35–42 days.
- Rest: Keep the shed empty 10–15 days before the next batch — about 6 batches a year.
08Monthly view (year 3)
Yearly figures divided by 12, so you can see what comes in and goes out each month.
| Item | Per month |
|---|---|
| SalesMonthly average | ₹1.1 lakh |
| Total costRaw material, labour, power, interest and depreciation | ₹98 thousand |
| Net profitSales − total cost | ₹7 thousand |
| Loan instalment (EMI)₹4.1 lakh loan, 11% interest, 6 years (after 1-year moratorium) | ₹7,777 |
The bank checks that profit and depreciation cover the EMI comfortably. Sales will vary by season — keep 2–3 months of expenses aside.
09What if things change? (year-3 profit)
| Situation | Yearly profit |
|---|---|
| As estimated | ₹80 thousand |
| Selling price 10% lower | Loss ₹46 thousand |
| Selling price 20% lower | Loss ₹1.7 lakh |
| Selling price 10% higher | ₹2.1 lakh |
| Costs 10% higher | Loss ₹38 thousand |
Costs are kept the same when price changes. The biggest risk is the selling price — fix buyers and prices first.
10Where to sell?
- Traders / lifters — Pick up the whole batch from the farm.
- Chicken shops — Better price through direct sale.
- Hotels and caterers — High demand in the wedding season.
- Integrators (contract farming) — The company gives chicks and feed, you get a rearing fee — lower risk, lower income.
- Litter manure — Good field manure — extra income.
