PRE-FEASIBILITY, CONTROLLED POULTRY HOUSE OF 30,000 BIRDS 20103. The Project3.1. Project BriefThe Broiler Control House is a project of Livestock sector, in which day old chicks (DCO’s) are raised on highprotein feed for a period of six weeks.This pre-feasibility highlights the capacity and efficiency of Broiler Control House which covers all therequired facilities for the fast growing broilers. Annually eight flocks of birds will be raised on the samepremises of the farm.3.2. Proposed CapacityA Broiler farm of about 30,000 birds is considered to be economically viable size, which will justify the fixedand operational costs. In this pre-feasibility study, all calculations have been based on a flock size of 30,000birds with raising seven flocks per year. An additional lag time of 10 days will be included for the cleaningand disinfection of the farm/house.3.3. The ProductThe proposed project should generate revenues from sale of chicken after they have been raised for 6-7weeks in the Environmentally Controlled Poultry Shed. Assumptions used for the product mix are as follows:Product Average Weight PriceChicken 1.90 Kg 228Hence, the cost of Price per Kg is 228/1.9 = Rs. 120. 77 This price is taken as the current average market rate (2010).
