Broilers are an artificially bred chicken breed that is raised specifically for the sale of meat. Growing broilers as a business is quite a lucrative activity that you can feed yourself with free meat and earn good money.
There is no limit to earnings, of course. Everything is calculated only by how many heads you are able to contain. It is also important to think about how many heads you can sell. And with this it is worth starting. As a basic example, we have calculated the costs and benefits of 100 heads. Read more business ideas in the article:

Growing broilers as a business: building a chicken coop

You need to devote time and energy to building a chicken coop, you cannot do without logic. After all, the more comfortable the conditions for chickens, the better your business will be, and the more you will earn.
Let's start by calculating the area of ​​the chicken coop. For four chickens, 1m2 is allocated, that is, for 100 heads, 25m2 will be needed. When building a chicken coop, be sure to consider:
Perches (for each chicken 30 cm wide)
Sloping floor (for drainage of dirt)
Ventilation (without it, chickens get sick, because bacteria multiply)
Lime on the walls (prevents germs from growing)
Window (birds need a lot of light)

Lighting (due to lack of light in winter, artificial lighting will be needed)
Aviary for walking (fenced with a net)
You can build a barn from ordinary boards. It is imperative to insulate the walls. On average, construction, insulation and arrangement of a shed of 25m2 will cost 70,000 rubles.

Chick purchase and feeding

It is better to buy chicks that are only a few days old, since the price of newly hatched chicks is the lowest. This is due to the fact that raising chickens from the very first days of life is not an easy task. But since you have decided to start raising broilers, then you will have to study this area inside and out.
The cost of such a chick is about 25 rubles. Buying hundreds of heads will cost us only 2.5 thousand rubles.
Broilers need to be fed more intensively than layers. Since these breeds are fattened to build maximum muscle mass, it is natural that nutrition is needed here somewhat differently. Usually it is compound feed or grain with additives. On average, one chicken eats about 175 grams per day, or 5.2 kg per month. One hundred heads will eat 52 kg per month. This is about 700 rubles a month.

Profit making and settlement

In a business like broiler farming, the cycle lasts about 1.5 months. Broiler breeds do not live long and are therefore profitable after 50 days. During this time, the chicken reaches a live weight of about 1.5 kg, and meat from it - about 1 kg.

It turns out that 100 heads will bring about 19,000 rubles (190 rubles per 1 kg). Taking into account the funds spent on feeding, the profit from the sale of 100 broilers will be in the region of 15,500 rubles (1,000 rubles for feed, 2,500 for the purchase of chickens).
Given the analysis above, you can calculate the number of goals needed to generate the profit you need:
200 broilers will bring 31,000 rubles every 1.5 months
500 broilers will bring 77,500 rubles every 1.5 months
1000 broilers will bring 155,000 rubles every 1.5 months

Conclusion

Broiler chicken breeds are bred specifically for the fastest growing of these birds for meat sale. In a short period of time, in just 1.5 months, these breeds reach the desired weight and are led to slaughter. Considering the cycles of any other agricultural business, broiler breeding is as close as possible to the usual turnover of funds - one month.

5. Recruitment.
6. Calculation of the results, assessment of the feasibility of launching.
7. Beginning of work.

A business plan for raising broiler chickens for meat, among other things, contains information with recommendations for keeping poultry. Broilers are capable of producing good meat, however, they are quite whimsical in care and have a weaker immunity compared to other breeds of chickens. In addition, given the rapid growth of individuals, their reinforced, fortified and high-calorie nutrition is required.

Among agricultural enterprises, poultry farms stand out for their fast turnover and return on investment. Artificially bred broilers are rapidly gaining weight and are ready for slaughter for meat at the age of one and a half months. A good income comes from the sale of day-old chicks, where the costs are only for the purchase of eggs and maintenance of the incubator. As in any business, there are risks and pitfalls in broiler farming that can lead to bankruptcy. The main thing is to maintain a healthy livestock. Disease and pestilence will negate the efforts of the poultry farmer and bring losses that cannot be immediately compensated for.

Broiler farming as a business idea

Spending money, investing labor and making a profit is the ideal model of a business enterprise. Breeding broilers fits exactly into it, because a novice entrepreneur will have a number of advantages:

• The broiler breeding method is developed in detail.
• Bird care does not require significant labor costs or highly paid personnel.
• Large poultry farms supply eggs and chickens at wholesale prices.
• Finished feeds are widely available for sale. It is easy to organize the production of your own feed at your own enterprise.
• The cost of arranging a chicken coop is minimal.
• Almost guaranteed 100% sales of finished products.

It is difficult to find another business offering less lenient start-up treatment. The entrepreneur, if he did not live in the village and does not have the skills to care for the bird, should study the peculiarities of breeding and take into account the risks that are inevitable from the moment when the chickens hatch from the egg to the sale of finished carcasses.

• Broilers are artificially bred meat hybrids. They gain weight quickly, but are not very healthy. Do not expect egg production or valuable offspring from them.
• Broilers older than 2 months lose their profitability. The cost of feeding and keeping such birds is not justified. Their meat loses the taste and tenderness of one and a half month old chickens.
• In order for a bird to reach its maximum weight for slaughter, its feed must be balanced in strict accordance with the recommendations.
• The chicken coop creates a relative tightness in which the infection is easily transmitted from one diseased individual to another. The poultry farmer should monitor the health of the livestock and immediately reject birds showing signs of disease.
• It is necessary to organize sales by the time of slaughter, otherwise there will be additional costs for storage and freezing.
• Incubator and hatching day old chicks can be an addition to the chicken coop or a separate business. Here, it is important to firstly control the state of the eggs before laying and maintaining the microclimate in the incubator necessary for the development of the embryo into a healthy chick.

When the risks are foreseen and prevented, the poultry farmer has the right to count on a refund with a profit that allows him to compensate for the initial investment within six months.

Broilers are a common name for a wide variety of meat chicken species. In Russia, hybrids are popular and available, which are obtained from crossing Cornish roosters with White Plymouthrock chickens. Two roosters and two hens are enough to open a breeding farm. But this method requires knowledge, skill, qualifications and the ability to control the sequence of mating of cocks and hens. The case is initially difficult for a budding entrepreneur. But he has several options for the development of poultry farming.

Which Model to Choose: Benefit and Risk Analysis

Buying eggs and raising chickens in an incubator (table)

Advantages	Flaws
The initial investment is only for the purchase of the incubator, the current one is for the purchase of eggs and payment for electricity.	The incubation period is 19-21 days, which cannot be interrupted.
The hatched chicks are ready for sale on the first day.	Some of the embryos will not develop. Among the hatched, there will be non-viable ones. The unsold will have to be fed at additional costs.
The second and third incubators do not add much to the overall maintenance effort, but produce larger broods and reduce chick hatching times.	Dependence on egg suppliers and bulk prices. The need to quickly sell chickens often leads to sales at prices close to cost.

Purchase of day-old chicks (table)

pros	Minuses
No hassle with breeding. Possibility of rejection of weak and sick chicks at the time of purchase.	The need for purchases in bulk to obtain discounts.
Day-old chicks grow rapidly and gain weight.	The feed must be balanced in all respects. The lack of one of the components slows down development and leads to unnecessary costs.
Growing up chickens are already a commodity for which there is a demand.	These chicks are not yet ready for slaughter. They are of interest to a limited circle of poultry farmers.
After a month and a half, broilers are ready for slaughter. This time is sufficient for organizing sales.	Uncaptured chicks - feed costs, slaughtered and not sold - storage and freezing costs.

Purchase of grown broilers (table)

Chickens up to 1 month of age are considered grown up.

Each of the three options is attractive in its own way. If the size of the farm and labor resources allow, then deal with all three at once. In this case, the merits of some will belittle the demerits of others. The whole enterprise will benefit from harmony and balance.

Poultry farm step by step

Preparatory stage

If the bird is grown not only for personal consumption, but for sale and profit, then even before opening a business, it is necessary to register an individual entrepreneur and choose a taxation system.

• Simplified, 6% of income.
• Imputed, 15% of the profit.
• Patent, with annual patent purchase.

Which is best for the entrepreneur himself, after consulting with a tax specialist. At the end of the fiscal year, you can switch from one to the other.

Besides individual entrepreneurs, other forms of business organization are possible. It is enough for a legal entity to amend the constituent documents and notify the tax office. It is even easier for a registered peasant farm (PFH): its status allows the breeding of poultry and domesticated animals. Registration of a peasant farm is similar to the registration of an individual entrepreneur: application + duty + choice of taxes + agreement of the participants of peasant farms (not required for a sole proprietor).

The arrangement of the incubator and chicken coop (poultry farm) must comply with the requirements of Rospotrebnadzor in terms of compliance with sanitary standards and Rostechnadzor in terms of fire safety and labor protection rules.

For the sale of chickens and eggs, veterinary certificates and certificates of conformity will be required; they apply for them to the local branches of the State Veterinary Control. Depending on the type of transported cargo, 3 types of certificates are issued:

• Form 1 - when transporting live animals, as well as biological objects used for their reproduction.
• Form 2 - for food products and raw materials of animal origin.
• Form 3 - non-food products, industrial raw materials and animal feed.

For deliveries outside the Russian Federation (except for the countries of the Customs Union), export veterinary certificates are obtained at border checkpoints.

It should be noted that in the regions of Russia there may be local rules for the supply of poultry to meat processing plants, catering, markets and trade organizations. Information on permits must be obtained before starting a business from the executive authorities.

What should be a chicken coop

06/03/2006 The Ministry of Agriculture issued an order detailing the rules for keeping poultry.

The basic requirements are as follows:

• fencing and compulsory water drains;
• isolated walks;
• a room made of easily cleaned materials;
• bedding of straw, sawdust, shavings;
• natural and forced ventilation (without it, chickens get sick);
• the length of the feeders available for the bird is 4–5 cm for young animals, 6–8 cm for large birds;
• the length of the drinkers is 1–3 cm per bird.

The chicken coop is a production facility and will require local authority permits to open. Its location should not conflict with the housing sector and nearby businesses. Standard projects have been developed, you can order a turnkey ready-made chicken coop. When self-building or when converting a suitable room, the following must be foreseen:

1. For four birds, 1 m 2 is needed, that is, for 100 broilers - 25 m 2.
2. It is permissible to build from boards, in this case it is imperative to insulate the walls. On average, the construction and equipment of a chicken coop with an area of ​​25 m 2 costs 80,000–90,000 rubles.
3. Inside the hen house, you need: perches for each chicken 30 cm wide, a sloping floor to drain dirt, lime on the walls (it prevents the growth of pathogenic microbes and bacteria), natural lighting through the windows and electric light with a short daylight and cloudy weather (birds need a lot light), an open-air cage fenced in with a net.

With a large number of livestock, it is better to abandon roosts in favor of cages.

The industry offers standard cages for 10, 20 and 30 animals, all equipped with automatic feed and water feeding systems. The design of the cage is simple: by purchasing profile corners, metal mesh and sheets of tin, you can make the cages yourself. Size for 10 heads: 75 cm x 75 cm x 40 cm It is placed under the mesh floor. The cages are fixed in 3 tiers. The area of ​​0.75x0.75 m will house 30 broilers.

The increased tightness requires constant monitoring of the atmosphere. Concentrations should not exceed:

• ammonia - up to 15 mg / m³;
• hydrogen sulfide - up to 5 mg / m³;
• carbon dioxide - 0.35% by volume.

This is ensured by ventilation at an optimal speed of 0.2–0.4 m / s.

Personnel and equipment

Working in a poultry house is difficult and requires a poultry-friendly staff. For a herd of 500-1000 broilers, 1 electrician-locksmith, 2 hen-keepers, 1 handyman watchman are hired.

The set of equipment is standard, the set is ordered immediately when preparing the chicken coop.

Table: equipment sets for floor broiler and cage rearing

Chickens and eggs are purchased from poultry farms and specialized farms. When choosing an incubator, it is not only the price and the number of eggs that are important. The industry offers many models with similar parameters. You should pay attention to customer reviews, especially in terms of the reliability of the climate control, the egg-turning mechanism and the presence of an emergency battery. To check the quality of the eggs and the condition of the embryos, an ovoscope is purchased.

The ovoscope device illuminates the eggs and allows you to see all the contents

Care and feeding

Feed is purchased from wholesale suppliers with direct delivery or self-pickup. By concluding a long-term agreement, you can achieve a deferral and installment payment, as well as purchases on credit through a bank. Compound feeds are produced in the form of premixes for different ages of birds. The age of broilers is short-lived, so they usually order:

• PC-5-1 - from birth to 10 days;
• PC-5-2 - from 11 to 24 days;
• PC-6 - from 25 days to slaughter.

The composition of the compound feed is indicated on the container and in the accompanying documents. In different proportions there will be corn, cereal meal, wheat, barley, bone meal, fish meal, feed yeast, green food and grass chaff, ground chalk and fats. Knowing the ingredients, you can make your own feed to save costs. At the same time, it is necessary to monitor how well broilers eat homemade feed and gain weight, so that savings do not result in losses from developmental delay.

Broilers have been proven to gain weight faster with premixes, but this increases the cost of meat. In addition, in the first 2 weeks, chickens are given vitamins either in mixtures, or they prepare an independent complementary food from fermented milk products, chopped eggs, grated carrots, crushed dandelion, and nettle leaves.

Chickens eat 5-6 grams of feed for up to 5 days, then there is an increase to 20 g by 10 days. 11-day-olds are fed 6 times, after 20 days they switch to 4 meals a day with an increase in the amount of feed. Months are transferred to a fattening regime and prepared for slaughter.

Slaughter and preparation for sale

A specialist is needed for slaughter. Either a permanent worker who combines slaughtering with other duties, or a temporary worker who is hired for several days every month and a half. Feeding is stopped 8–12 hours before slaughter. The bird will no longer gain weight. In addition, emptying the stomach and intestines makes it easier to butcher the carcass.

There are technological lines on which most of the work is automated, and the whole process takes a few minutes. First, the bird is caught, trying not to injure, and hung by the legs on a dressing conveyor.

Broilers are ready for slaughter

The following happens on the conveyor:

• stunning, slaughter and exsanguination;
• scalding, plucking and singing;
• evisceration and washing;
• packaging and labeling;
• cooling and freezing.

The last element can be changed to suit the needs of the consumer. The implementation of a fresh face without cooling or freezing reduces operating costs and costs, and reduces production time.

Sales determine profit

Until the products are sold, it is impossible to predict the financial results of the enterprise. Ideal when purchasing organizations purchase broilers directly from the poultry farmer. Otherwise, you need to organize storage, transportation and transfer to retail chains or public catering. Marketing options must be worked out prior to slaughter.

An entrepreneur has several sales channels:

• rented space in the market;
• own retail outlet;
• online store;
• supplies to retail chains or purchasing organizations;
• participation in fairs and regional poultry support programs;
• deliveries to catering establishments;
• sales directly from their poultry farm.

As production develops, related products will appear, the sale of which will bring additional income.

• day-old and reared chickens;
• organic fertilizers - bird droppings and rotted bedding material;
• raw materials for the production of feed - eggshells, waste from cutting carcasses;
• feather and down.

If production space and capacity permit, laying hens and brood roosters are raised to supply eggs for incubation and regular sale. When purchasing compound feed at wholesale prices, some are fed on their own poultry farm, the rest is sold at retail in small batches to private farms. There is always a demand for feed.

Advertising is never superfluous

The success of the sale largely depends on how well potential buyers are informed about the products of the poultry farm. In the business plan, and then in the budget of the enterprise, advertising costs should be on a separate line. Advertising agencies are not cheap, but they often run their promotions to attract advertisers. There are other ways to promote your product to consumers without costly agency costs. The poultry farmer will have to master the basics of the advertising business so that the consumer learns about the wonderful quality of the poultry farm products. All suitable communication channels can be used:

• newspapers and free classifieds sites;
• paid advertising printing;
• installation of banners and distribution of leaflets;
• website on the Internet and registration in social networks;
• poultry clubs and forums, public business events;
• help from relatives, friends and acquaintances (word of mouth).

The financial component of the case

You cannot start a business without calculating future costs. It is necessary to determine, at least in the first approximation, what the investments will go to. The calculation for a house with 1000 broilers is shown in the table below.

Table: initial investment

If you do not have your own premises, then you need to add the rental or purchase costs. Prices for ready-made poultry houses (fully equipped according to a standard turnkey project) vary from 9,000 to 11,000 rubles per 1 m 2. A room for 1,000 heads will cost 2 million rubles.

Alternatively, you can order a pre-fabricated hangar at a price of 600 rubles / m 2. The price of an empty hangar will be 150,000-200,000 rubles. For re-equipment in a poultry farm, about the same amount. General expenses: 350,000 rubles.

Table: monthly expenses

According to the results of the first month, the entrepreneur will spend 600,000-700,000 rubles. But already in the second, slaughter will begin and the first income will appear.

Table: calculation of the profitability of 1 thousand broilers with an average poultry weight of 1.8 kg

In fact, the financial indicators will be better, because in six months a steady sale of related products will begin - organic fertilizers, raw materials for feed, eggs, feathers, and so on.
