Name of Business: Analisa’s Farm Fresh
Analisa’s Farm Fresh will take a loan of $227,080 from the bank at 6% interest rate, to
start up a broiler business.
100 broiler birds will be reared over a six weeks’ basis. There will be six batches of birds
for the one-year production cycle.
At one square foot per bird, 100 birds will require 100sqft.
The pen will be constructed at 110sqft, this includes the space for drinkers and feeders.
One drinker and feeder will be adequate for 25 birds each, therefore, 4 drinkers and
feeders will be adequate to service 100 birds.
Vaccinated day old birds will be purchased and brooded in said pen for 3 days.
Kerosene stoves will be used to brood the chicks.
A section of the pen will be cordon off to facilitate brooding.
Two packs of vitamins and one pack of medication will be used for each batch.
Feed
Broiler starter will be fed from weeks 1-3
Broiler grower will be fed from weeks 4-5
Un-medicated broiler grower will be fed at week 6
Using a feed conversion ratio of 1.9lbs of feed to 1lb live weight (1.9:1), it is estimated that the
birds will attain 5lbs body weight at six weeks (42 days), the estimated feed consumption are as
follows:
Each bird will consume 9.5lbs of feed daily to attain 5lbs live weight.
100 birds will consume 945lbs or 10 bags of feed for six weeks
Broiler starter: 7 bags per day.
Broiler grower: 3 bags per day.
For the year, the birds will require 42 bags of starter and 18 bags of grower.
Mortality
Estimated mortality is 6%. Therefore 6 birds will die per batch and 42 birds will die for the one-
year period.
Shaving
Shaving must be at least 4inches thick. One bag of shaving will cover approximately
10sqft of the pen, therefore, a 110sqft pen will require 11 bags of shaving. However, an
additional 4 bags will be stored to cater for wet spots.
