 What Is It

ANALYZING RECORDS KEPT IN POULTRY PRODUCTION ENTERPRISE

The analysis of production must be simple to cope with the needs of the backyard
and small-scale poultry raisers. Expenses such as depreciation cost and the use of poultry
house and interest on capital are excluded in the following sample analysis.

A. INPUTS IN PRODUCTION

In broiler production, prospective investors must be considered the following before

going into the business venture.

1. Costs

 Housing and brooder facilities

 Day-old broiler chicks
 Broiler feeds
 Veterinary vaccines, medicines, and supplements
 Water
 Heat and light
 Labor
 Depreciation
 Interest on capital invested

2. Returns

 Sales of broilers
 Sales of chicken manure to vegetable growers or fishpond owners
 Sales of good-condition empty feed bags

Calculating Examples of Gathered Data in Broiler Production

Mr. Gomez has the following data in his broiler project:

Total production cost

 amount of chick per head @P20.00 (P 2,000.00)
 amount of feeds P 8,000.00
 medicines and antibiotics P 1,000.00
 miscellaneous (electricity, water, labor) P2,000.00

Total P 13.000.0
 The ninety five broilers are ready for market

2
  The Cost of live weight per kg. is P 120.00
 The total amount of production is P 13, 000.00
 The mortality rate of 5% (95 heads)

95 X 1.5 = 142.5 kilograms X 120.00 = 17,100.00

Total Gross sales ------------------------ P 17,100

Less Cost of Production --------------- P 13,000

Net Income ------------------------------- P4,100.00

To get ROI or Return on Investment:

RECORD KEEPING IN SWINE PRODUCTION

To be accurate and up-to-date record is very important in swine raising operations.

This will serve as a future reference to improve the business. It will also help you identify
animals to be culled and animals to be retained. It will also tell whether the project is gaining
or losing.

Prices of feeds and hogs are not stable. The demand for pork will also penetrate. To
determine the best time of each year to have more hogs can be accurately done through
experience and this can be easily predicted by keeping the records.

The main objective of a pig farmer is to manage the farm in such a way that it is a
continuing source of income. In order to attain this, it needs to be implemented a set of
better management measures and technical skills through better record-keeping and
administration. This will make it possible to control and monitor production activities and to
identify the results both technical and financial.

What does record-keeping involve?

A good record-keeping means noting down all very important details and events in a
simple and clear manner. It can also be utilized to provide and note information for future
activities. In record-keeping, utilize a notebook. Marked on the calendar (sow calendar), so

3
that any necessary preparation can start well in advance (for example, preparing the
farrowing pen for the sow).
The records will be helping when comparing the production of different animals. The
records will make it easier for you to carry out daily activities for the pigs. When pigs are
sick, this may note down the symptoms, the treatment, and whether the pig recovered or
not. This will give additional knowledge on how to treat the animals successfully. It will also
help you track of expenses and incomes from sales. This information will tell whether the
business is running profitably or not.

Records
1. Litter records
 Birth weight (1.5.kg is good)
 Weaning weight (18kg is good)

2. Dams record
 Number of piglets weaned per year (18 is good)

3. Marketing
 Age and weight

4. Conversion rate
 Pigs that have gained more weight from a given amount of food.
 A satisfactory conversion ratio should be 1 kg live weight gain for 3 to 5 kg of
feed.

A good record-keeping system will consider constant surveillance and monitoring of

animal health and performance. It will help assist the farmer in sustaining a steady flow of
pigs through its enterprise and the identification of problem areas within the production
program.

The following are to be considered while designing a record-keeping system:

 The records must be as simple as possible.
 The records must be kept in a place where they are readily accessible.
 The transfer of information from one record sheet to another must be minimized.
 The information that must be included in the records varies within the type of
operation being run. A swine operation that’s engaged in an expensive breeding
stock improvement program will be requiring more detailed individual pig
records than in a commercial operation.
 For Individual records, the value in culling non-productive breeding stock and in
selecting replacement animals is also considered.

Individual records:
 The sow identification
 In reproduction Records: the Date of first Estrus/heat, Breeding dates,
Farrowing dates, Number of pigs born alive and number born dead, Average
birth weight (comments on evenness of litter should be included), Abnormalities
 In Weaning Records: it includes weaning date and weaning weight

4
  Litter management records: Covers Dates of routine management practices
example: Iron treatment and castration.
 The Herd Records

A record sheet summarizing is very important aspects of herd production on a

weekly or monthly basis must be kept. The farmer may compare these records, which are a
good measure of production efficiency with previous figures as well as with production goals
he has set for his production.

Herd records should include:

 Reproduction Records
 Females serviced (categorize as to the first and repeat breeders).
 Litters farrowed
 Pigs born alive and number born dead
 Feed Consumed
 Either herd total or by ration i.e. dry sow, starter finisher, etc.
 Pigs marketed (sows, boars, market or breeding stock)
 Pigs added (breeding stock from outside the herd)
 Market Information
 Age at marketing of at least a sample number of pigs and their weight
 Carcass indices of pigs marketed.

The data above can be used to compute the following parameters:

 Average litter size born and weight
 Average litter size weaned and weight
 Percentage of pigs born dead
 Percentage death loss in any category
 Repeat breeding as a percentage of the total breeding
 Feed conversion ratio (FCR), - Average daily gain (ADG)
 Average market index

NOTE:
 The above indicators tell how well the production program is managed.
 The secret to the success of any record keeping system is not the particular
design of the system but rather regular manner in which the records are kept
