Opening of a poultry farm

Chicken eggs and chicken meat can be called the most popular products among the population. The protein found in chicken products is not only useful, but also vital for humans. For many families, breakfast starts with eggs. If you consider the idea from an economic point of view, then selling these products can be a very profitable business.

It is because of the high demand in the market that more and more companies producing chicken meat and eggs appear, and they have good earnings. With the right approach, having studied the basics of poultry farming and drawing up a competent business plan for a poultry farm, you can get a stable and decent income.

Initial investment amount

Statistics show that there are only more and more consumers of chicken meat and eggs, so if you invest in a poultry farm, you definitely will not lose. Starting to study this area, you should pay attention to the specifics of the region in which you want to open a farm. The presence of competitors, the presence of a sales market, the presence of demand, and so on.

When you start writing a business plan, you should include the following questions:

1. building or renting premises for a poultry farm;
2. purchase of the necessary equipment;
3. purchase of young birds;
4. investments;
5. maintenance and care of individuals.

If you have enough funds, but do not want to take risks, you can open a poultry farm and gradually expand. For starters, 1000 individuals will be sufficient.

The following numbers will go into such a business plan for a broiler poultry farm:

• 90 thousand rubles for the purchase of chickens and broilers;
• 100 thousand rubles for bird cages;
• 60 thousand rubles for additional equipment;
• 50 thousand rubles to bring the premises into proper shape.

All figures are approximate, so when drawing up a business plan, you will need to find out everything from the companies with which you plan to cooperate. The initial contribution to the poultry farm will be about 300 thousand rubles.

How to get started?

Even if it seems to you that organizing such a business plan for the production of chicken products is not difficult, you still need to carefully discuss each issue so that you do not dwell on anything later. First of all, as in any other business, you need to choose the legal form of the future poultry farm.

Experts recommend giving preference to the form of a peasant farm (peasant farm), this will require a minimum of funds and documents for registration. It is easier to pay taxes according to the ESHN system - a single agricultural tax. The percentage of income is only 6%.

When all the documents are collected and signed, we proceed to the construction of a mini-factory. The land on which it will be located must be registered as a permitted use. The land can be bought or leased. A prerequisite is the location of the factory more than 350 m from residential areas.

If you do not invest in the minimum amount of required investments, then the following will help you open your business:

1. state a program specifically designed for farmers. You can get investment assistance up to 2 million rubles;
2. a loan from a bank on preferential terms intended for farmers;
3. state a program for start-up entrepreneurs, the maximum amount you can count on is 350 thousand rubles.

What can be produced?

Now let's move on to the production process.

The mini-factory business plan can focus on the following areas:

• raising poultry for the sale of meat and eggs;
• growing chickens in an incubator, most often broilers;
• raising early laying hens to produce large quantities of eggs.

For the development of a mini-factory with a quantity of birds of 1000 pieces, the size of the room will need from 100 sq.m. All square meters must be clearly calculated and recorded in the business plan. I advise you to install cells in several rows. If it is not possible to buy ready-made ones, you can make them yourself. Based on the norms for planting chickens, in one cage with a size of 1 sq.m. you can place no more than 6 heads.

In order not to buy young animals every time, but to breed the bird on your own, you will need incubators. If this option appeals to you, then this should be included in the business plan of the poultry farm. The market provides a large number of equipment for these purposes. Incubators are made both abroad and in our country. Experts advise to buy our equipment, as it is more suitable for local birds. For example, the ILB incubator holds about 700 eggs, which will produce chicks in just 22 days.

Microclimate

The most important condition for factories for the production of chicken products is to maintain an optimal microclimate. Older chickens that are 50 days old can be at a temperature of +18. But chickens need at least +33 degrees. Therefore, it is worth entering into the business plan not only special equipment for maintaining the temperature regime, but also the allocation of separate rooms for young and older heads.

In addition to temperature, it is important to observe the light regime. If the age of the chicken has not yet reached 3 weeks, then the light should come to them around the clock. Gradually growing up, the amount of light decreases to 17 hours a day.

For the growth and development of a healthy and large bird, you need to provide them with high-quality, nutritious food. A business plan for a mini-farm should pay a lot of attention to this point. After all, it costs a lot to feed such a large number of birds. The main food is corn and wheat. Additionally, it is recommended to buy feed mixtures from cereals and flour, supplements with vitamins and easily digestible proteins. To open a mini-factory for the production of chicken meat and eggs, the staff will be about 4 people.

Sales of finished products

The most important point that completes the business plan is the marketing of products (meat and eggs). Only by evaluating the effectiveness of this project, it will be possible to proceed with its implementation. To do this, with a team of professionals, you need to draw up a marketing strategy for selling chickens and eggs. The most important obstacle will be those companies that already have regular customers.

Your business plan should focus on getting customers to buy your products. The most important move to attract buyers is over high quality at a relatively low price.

To sell meat and eggs, you can draw up the following plan:

1. supply of meat and eggs to the nearest regions for sale;
2. conclusion of contracts with supermarkets;
3. sales to other wholesale buyers;
4. sale in the markets.

How quickly the money folded into the mini-farm will begin to pay off, hardly anyone can say for sure. In this case, a well-written business plan and a clear adherence to it will help. If the factory has 1000 heads, then the approximate monthly income will be about 100 thousand rubles. More than half of this will go to various expenses. By gradually increasing the number of poultry, you can increase your income. In about a year, this business can fully pay off.
