feasibility study of a layer farm

[carlos]

hi po... i'm carlos and i'm making a thesis about a feasibility study of establishing a layer farm. My problema po ako about feed consumption expense ng chicks. Ano po bang average consumption in grams ng brooder chicks and growing pullets per day?

 The only thing I know is about layers, with 105 grams consumption per day.

i hope sir Nemo or any other person have a spare time to answer my question. Thanks po!

I am not into poultry i don't have an exact answer but to give you an idea.

Here's my computation.

The FCR of poultry could range from 1.8  above

Let's use 1.8 kg.  If your target weight is 1.4 kg body weight multipled by FCR of 1.8 = 2.52 kg of feeds.

Let's assume that you attain the 1.4 body weight in 40 days. then the average feed intake will be
2.52 /40 days = 0.063

A layer will start to lay at 18 weeks or 126 days.

126 days * 63 grams =7.938 kg of feeds from chick to laying but hindi pa ito yun production nila nasa edad 22-24 pa yun  talaga umpisa  so around 6 months siya nun.

yun isang shortcut computation 110 grams  multiple by the days. lalabas na more than half sack per bird siya.

This is not the standard it is just an assumption.

Try to adjust this nalang. to fit your requirement
