This feasibility report estimates the costs for raising a minimum of 12,000 chicks. It estimates rental costs of Rs. 240,000 for a two month lease of a control shed. The cost of purchasing 12,000 day old chicks at Rs. 44.50 each is Rs. 534,000. Feeding the chicks an estimated 3.5kg per chick over 36 days will require 7,000kg of feed at Rs. 65 per kg, costing Rs. 455,000. Additional contingency costs including medical expenses, worker salaries, electricity, sanitation supplies, and miscellaneous expenses total Rs. 145,000. The maximum estimated total investment is Rs. 692,500.

A) Towards Rental expense for acquiring a Control Shed
Maximum estimated rent = 120,000 P/M
Total cost towards rental expense = 120,000 x 2 (Mnths) = Rs. 240,000/-
====================================== B) Towards purchase of Broiler
Today’s Broiler rate = 44.50/Chick (a day old)
Cost of broiler = 44.50 x 12,000 (qty) = Rs. 534,000/-
======================================
C) Towards purchase of Feed
Estimated feed per chick till selling = 3.50 Kg (in 36 days)
Quantum of Feed = 3.50 (kg) x 2000 (Chicks) = 7,000 Kg
Average cost of Feed = 65 / Kg
Total 3 types of feed will be used 1. S2 – Starter Crumble (for first 10 days) 2. S3 – Grower Pellets (for 11-22 days) 3. S4 – Finisher Pellets (for 23 till market)
Cost of Feed = 65 (Cost P/kg) x 7,000 (qty) = Rs. 455,000/-
Pricing analysis is based on top feed manufacturers, i.e. SB &/or SP &/or Olympia Poultry etc.)
======================================
D) Towards hidden Contingencies
1. Medical Expense = Rs. 15,000 approx. 2. Worker Salary = Rs. 40,000/- (for two months including support funding) 3. Generator Exp. &/or Elect. Bill = Rs. 25,000/- 4. Rice Husk / Parali (for sanitizing)= Rs. 20,000/- 5. Poultry Pots etc. = Rs. 15,000/- 6. Misc. Un-expected Expenditure = Rs. 30,000/-
