3. Feeding Rate (grammes per bird)

Available records from farms and literate all indicate that each laying bird should eat about 100 to 105 grammes daily.

To calculate Feeding rate (grammes per bird):

Total Kilogrammes feed x 1000 x 100
——————————
(Opening Stock + Closing Stock of layers) x 0.5

Using the total Kilogrammes converted to grammes) fed to your layigrammes per birdng birds to divide the total number of birds managed daily will tell you how well they are feeding; if they are underfeeding or being over fed.

Each condition has its own implications. Underfeeding could lead to poor laying; over feeding translates to waste – and of course higher cost of production, which you definitely want to avoid lest you eat into your profit margins!

By calculating your feeding rate for each battery cage or pen daily, you can quickly check and confirm if the birds are getting the right amount of food needed. It would also help you track your balance stocks of feed, and therefore aid planning for new purchases.

Appropriate solutions to multiply and plantation crops is to use liquid organic fertilizers, to obtain a double result from using an organic liquid fertilizer such as by way of the land in berikut.Sebelum made the first farm in the clean up of weeds in tersebt land, after land clear of weeds, then the next is in lahaqn sow a little chemical fertilizer liquid organic fertilizer before we use, after about about a week after planting then p [UPUK’s new liquid spray and continue after our rice crops or berumur3 weeks or 2 weeks then we use the pu [pad organicĀ

SUMMARY

A lot of people run poultry farm businesses out here. Many plan to start. A number are hoping to borrow money from banks, or friends/relatives to launch theirs. Unfortunately, very FEW – just like their catfish farming counterparts – have ANY knowledge of what it takes to intelligently mange the business data analysis aspects of their ventures.

A sound knowledge of how to measure the operational performance of your farm business is essential for ensuring long term success. The three indices I have discussed above can help you in this regard. Learn to use them.

But that is just ONE side to it. You also need to know how to measure the financial performance of your farm business – and possibly compare it to other farms or even a generic standard.

There are at least three financial performance ratios that can be computed to tell you if your farm business is growing or NOT.

They will tell you if you have done better at the end of this year as against last year or two (2) years before. They will also tell those who invest in your business, (or who want/plan to) how financially strong your farm business is – compared to last year etc.

If you are looking to BUY a farm business, you will want to know how to compute these three (3) ratios, to be sure your investment is worthwhile!

Note that the financial ratios I mention are NOT aggregate measures like the Income Statement (also known as the Profit and Loss report) or the Net worth Statement (aka Balance Sheet). They are measures that are NOT unit based, which make them (like those farm operations measurement indices discussed above) easy to use for comparison.

You can get a special report detailing how to compute these very powerful farm business financial performance ratios from me.

IMPORTANT NOTES

1). To achieve a “weighted” – and therefore more realistic – result, the formulas outlined above use a derived average of the sum of the opening and closing stocks of laying birds, as denominator.

2). If you do NOT have a reliable paper based farm data recording system diligently kept by your competent staff on the farm, you will NOT be able to depend on whatever results you get from computing these performance indices. It would be like it is often said for the computer: Garbage In, Garbage Out (GIGO)!

2. Hen Day Production (%)

Properly documented records of mortalities will aid accurate estimation of Hen Day production – which is the number of eggs produced divided by the total number of laying birds on the farm during the period considered, assuming each bird lays an egg per day.

It is well known that a bird actually takes about 26 hours to lay another egg after a preceding one. This is why we do not expect to set a target of 100% Hen Day production for our flock. It would be reasonable instead to expect that 80 to 90% of the birds will lay eggs each day, so that if our calculations yield results within that range, it would suggest reasonably satisfactory performance.

To calculate Hen Day production (%):

Number of eggs produced x 100
———————–
(Opening Stock + Closing Stock of layers) x 0.5

Your Hen Day production will drop in a manner reflective of mortalities recorded, unless you calculate as shown above. Understanding this will help you compare your results with other farms that may not be conscious of this subtle difference.

Note that this calculation method helps you really verify whether or not your birds are getting less productive, as it prevents the losses that occur from making those birds still alive appear to be laying less frequently – something that can make you start worrying or taking otherwise unneeded corrective actions.

You Can Quickly & Easily Compute Performance Indicators To Check Your Farm's Health

It would interest you to know that this client actually currently does ALL data entry into the software application on his laptop, using filled copies of a custom record keeping form I designed (following a farm visit that involved a review of existing/needed records) for use by the farm staff DAILY.

He once shared with me how he detected some anomalies in data recorded by the supervisor, by using the automatically computed performance indices in the software.

The point being made here is that KNOWING the performance measures you can calculate to CHECK how well your farm is doing in terms of OPERATIONS and FINANCES, is crucial.

You can do it yourself, as the calculations are actually simple and easy to use. However, when you manage a large (or growing) farm enterprise, you may get to a point where it would be more value adding, if you saved yourself the hassle of having to do such computations manually.

Instead, you can automate their computation(using custom software like mine), and spend your time doing more intelligent managing of your farm business by studying the trends in your performance indices over time, so as to take timely/effect decisions that lead to overall profitability.

Introduction

In this article, I share VERY practical, real world relevant tips about performance measures you can compute daily, weekly, monthly and at the end of year to accurately determine at every stage whether your poultry farm business is operating optimally.

These performance indices are NOT aggregate measures. In other words, they are NOT measured in monetary terms. Instead they have NO units, being ratios, usage rates and percentages that help to (a) establish a normal trend of your farms’ behaviour (b) quickly identify/detect departures from that trend, so that you can take timely/corrective action.

Note that these measures are tried and tested, and are actually built into a custom spreadsheet software application I built for a client who runs a Twelve thousand (12,000) layer poultry farm business.

Using Natural Fertilizer

Excellent natural fertilizer to increase agricultural production, besides that it is also a natural fertilizer can also improve the fertility of agricultural land is no longer having fertility, currently has a lot of natural fertilizer available in the community, whether that is done by the free market or by the member LML , as an example of natural fertilizer in pawarkan by member PT.Nasional Nusantara (Nasa) products are well known al: POC, Harmonic, Super Nasa, Licetine.

Other natural fertilizers that are not less good also include AI, Fertilizers Ghost mengingkatkan proven products, in particular areas of West Kalimantan and the island of Java in general.

To get that on purpose fertilizer over the farmers can get the closest stokis stokis in your town, in addition to increasing agricultural production could be a member user can add income.
