Model Project Report for Desi Poultry Breeder & Hatchery Unit under NLM Scheme

Model Project Report for Desi Poultry Breeder & Hatchery Unit under NLM Scheme

Poultry sector is the fastest growing sector in providing employment to a significant number of people in the State. Poultry rearing is done mostly for the egg and meat production. Raising improved local poultry breeds in backyard is an important source of livelihood for the rural people of Odisha. Rearing backyard poultry provides high return as the investment in form of raw material and maintenance are low.

The birds can be easily reared and handled by the farmers in village condition. Improved coloured birds under low input technology like Vanaraja, Chhabro, Kuroiler & Rainbow Rooster, Kalinga Brown, RIR and other approved breed of Govt. of India have its own merit because of its egg production, meat quality, high body weight, disease resistance and majestic look.

Due to many advantages in poultry farming poultry entrepreneurship is the best idea for those who want to pursue successful agribusiness career in India.

National Livestock Mission proposes to bring sharp focus on entrepreneurship development and breed improvement in poultry by providing incentives to the Individuals, for entrepreneurship development and also to the State Government for breed improvement infrastructure

The project has three components

 1000 poultry parent stock to get 500 hatching egg per day.

 Hatchery for hatching 3000 hatching egg / week to get 2250 day old chick.

 Mother unit for brooding 2000 chicks up to 4weeks

Aim

 Bringing unorganized rural poultry farming sector into organized sector

 Promotion of entrepreneurship in the field of rural poultry in a sustainable manner

 Establishment of forward and backward linkages

 Popularizing the different alternative non-conventional low cost feeding

Objectives

1. Employment generation through entrepreneurship development in poultry sector.

2. Increase of per animal productivity through breed improvement.

3. Increase in production of meat and egg.

4. Promoting applied research in prioritized areas of poultry.

5. Capacity building of state functionaries and livestock owners through strengthened extension machinery to provide quality extension service to farmers.

6. Promoting skill based training and dissemination of technologies for reducing cost of production, and improving production of livestock sector

Commercial Viability Backward Linkage (Inputs)

Civil works– will be done with help of local builders on contact basis in consultation with respective consultants

Equipment and machinery– will be procured from open market.

Parent lines– Parent lines of LIT Birds will be procured from reputed sources.

Consumables like feed, medicines, chemicals, sanitizers etc. are easily available in the local market

Consultancy services– will be provided by the officials of ARD Department as well as the chicks suppliers/ grandparent farm. (We provide all consultancy services related to set up of farm, click here to contact us)

Insurance– There are many public and private sector insurance companies operating in the district. However the unit will be tied up with any of the Insurance Company

Forward Linkages (Produces)

28 day old birds will be the major out puts of the unit that will be sold to around 30 numbers of organized farms of LIT birds as well as more than 100s of rural households for backyard rearing in and around the district. Our associates has expertise in this type of marketing. Backyard poultry farmers are facing difficulties in raising day old chicks due to lack of adequate skill and knowledge. Thus availability of the pullets in the district will be a boost for the elite poultry development sector in the district.

The minor or secondary outputs of the units such as infertile eggs, rejected eggs, defective chicks will be small in quantity and there will be no problem in selling the same in local market.

Farm Management

Breeder management

 The layer breeder management is more or less similar to the management of commercial layers.

 Since the parent stocks are costly and they are hatching and pullet chicks fetch higher income, more care has to be taken on parent stock, to generate more profits.

 Moreover, in parent stock management the management of male breeding stock and the Hatchery are additional activities to be carried out more carefully.

Rearing systems and space requirements

 The layer parent stock can be reared successfully on deep litter.

 The floor space requirement will be 2200 sq.ft in deep litter.

Debeaking

 Both males and females are de-beaked at 10-14 days of age and again at 12-14 weeks of age.

 For females 2 mm beak from the nostrils where as for the males cut half of the beak between nostril and tip of the beak. Both upper and lower beak are cut off straight.

 Give vitamin K in water before debeaking and electrolytes for 2 or 3 days from the day of debeaking.

Males

 Day old male parent chicks will be procured.

 Males will be reared separately from 0- 21 weeks of age.

 Will be started with 10 % males in case of natural mating

 At the beginning of the breeding season (22 weeks) 10 males per 100 females will be introduced.

 Replacement of weak, lame and sick males if required

Vaccination programme and health care

It is more or less similar to the programme followed for commercial layers.
The programme varies from place to place and time to time depending on the prevalence of disease in the area.
The only difference will be killed vaccines are given for diseases like ND, IBD, IB and MD before the onset of the egg production.
Sometimes ND, IBD and IB killed vaccines are placed at 45 weeks of age in problematic areas to increase the maternal acquired immunity in the chicks. Fowl Cholera vaccine has to be given at 10 weeks of age in Endemic areas.
Moreover the flock has to be tested for Mycoplasma and Salmonella at around 16 weeks of age to eliminate the positive cases.
Deworming will be done every month or once in 6 weeks in deep litter system.
Lasota vaccination will be invariably followed after deworming.
