Purpose of initiation

More than 60 % of total meat consumption in the country was met by the export from other countries, with the national production fulfilling only the 40% of the demand. The data is not the current one but still our country has not been able to be self dependent in the meat production. In this scenario, poultry farming has got a huge potential in Nepal. Putting all the various factors into consideration, we ( Suraj, and Umesh, proprieties of Rato Bhale company ) decided to capitalize this opportunity to serve the people and to make the country self dependent in the poultry products. We have decided to name the company as Rato Bhale poultry farm. Preliminary research has indicated that 1000 chickens would be optimum for the initial operation of the business. The farms production site would be located in Gokarna which has plenty open space, cheap labors, road connection, water availability and immediate access to the huge market of our product i.e. Kathmandu valley. An area of about 10,000 sq. feet would be occupied by the farm and a house with 3 rooms would be rented for the storage of pellets and other equipments as well as for the employees to reside and guard the farm. The land has been taken into lease for 5 years with the options of extension and the feasibity study by the experts has shown positive results. Initial investment would be Rs. 10,00,000 that would be spent on buying chickens, building cage house, stocking the pellets, hiring the expert and other miscellaneous tasks. The farm expects to make 80% gross margin within 6 months of its operations withholding the chances of any accidental or unexpected incidence. The aforementioned fund has been collected partly from ourselves and partly funded by Agricultural development bank. Three lakhs from each partner totaling six lakhs is from our side and loan consists of the rest four lakhs. The company expects to repay the loan within 3 years and obtain the breakeven point within 2 years.

ObjectivesBecoming the "Best and most hygienic poultry producer in the area" complying by the national standards for food and drugs.Turn in profits from the first month of operations.Maintain an 80% gross margin ratio.Winning the hearts and tastes of our beloved consumers and establishing a brand image of the company through heavy marketing campaigns in the first one year.

Keys to successState of art cage framework accommodating optimum number of chickens with mitigated possible hazards.Diverse slaughters network, market chain management, optimum inventory level and customer is king policy.Regular visits by medical workers and hygienic poultry house environment.

Mission:Rato Bhale poultry producer will make its best effort to live up to the consumers expectations by delivering the best of its product to the end users. The quality of our product wouldnt be challenged either inside or outside the country. This confidence would be earned by the unparalleled Excellency in the poultry farm. The nutritious and protein rich product from our farm would always be the first choice of our consumers.

Company Summary:Rato Bhale would be a limited liability company, producing chickens, eggs, and, litter as a by-product in its state of art poultry farm units. The company would have a status small and cottage industry.

Introduction to poultry farming

In egg-producing farms, birds are typically housed in rows of battery cages. Environmental conditions are automatically controlled, including light duration, which mimics summer daylength. This stimulates the birds to continue to lay eggs all year round. Normally, significant egg production only occurs in the warmer months. Critics argue that year-round egg production stresses the birds more than normal seasonal production.

Broilers in a production houseMeat chickens, commonly called broilers, are floor-raised on litter such as wood shavings or rice hulls, indoors in climate-controlled housing. Poultry producers routinely use nationally approved medications, such as antibiotics, in feed or drinking water, to treat disease or to prevent disease outbreaks arising from overcrowded or unsanitary conditions. IIn egg-producing farms, cages allow for more birds per unit area, and this allows for greater productivity and lower space and food costs, with more efforts put into egg-laying. In common practice, the current recommendation by the United Egg Producers is 67 to 86 in (430 to 560cm) per bird, which is about 9inches by 9inches. Modern poultry farming is very efficient and allows meat and eggs to be available to the consumer in all seasons at a lower cost than free range production, and the poultry have no exposure to predators.The cage environment of egg producing does not permit birds to roam. The closeness of chickens to one another frequently causes cannibalism. Cannibalism is controlled by de-beaking (removing a portion of the bird's beak with a hot blade so the bird cannot effectively peck). Another condition that can occur in prolific egg laying breeds is osteoporosis. This is caused from year-round rather than seasonal egg production, and results in chickens whose legs cannot support them and so can no longer walk. During egg production, large amounts of calcium are transferred from bones to create eggshell. Although dietary calcium levels are adequate, absorption of dietary calcium is not always sufficient, given the intensity of production, to fully replenish bone calcium.Under intensive farming methods, a meat chicken will live less than six weeks before slaughter. This is half the time it would take traditionally. This compares with free-range chickens which will usually be slaughtered at 8 weeks, and organic ones at around 12 weeks. In intensive broiler sheds, the air can become highly polluted with ammonia from the droppings. This can damage the chickens eyes and respiratory systems and can cause painful burns on their legs (called hock burns) and feet. Chickens bred for fast growth have a high rate of leg deformities because they cannot support their increased body weight. Because they cannot move easily, the chickens are not able to adjust their environment to avoid heat, cold or dirt as they would in natural conditions. The added weight and overcrowding also puts a strain on their hearts and lungs.

Nepalese Context

The demand of poultry meat and eggs is increasing at the annual rate of 25% and 10% respectively in urban areasThe annual increment was more than 10% feeds, meat, eggs and other related items in late half of the past decades (Bhattarai e al 2004).In the last decades , the average meat and egg production was about 10 percent and 18percent, r annual report (Pultry Mnch 1997 ).Commercial poultry farming is growing at a rate about 15 % per annum and about 16 million broilers are produced annually .Increased demand for animal protein s, shift in consumers preferences for egg and broiler meat , access to commercial poultry production technologies and services and quick returns to the investment seem more of the major attracting forces for such investment. The demand of poultry meat and eggs is increasing at the annual rate of 25% and 10% respectively in urban area(DALS,1991).

Poultry entrepreneurs said the production of chicken had nose-dived by around 30 per cent as compared to normal period. Soaring demands for chicken have also driven up the price. The supply of live broiler chicken dropped to 160 tonnes per day against the demand of around 205 tonnes, as farmers raised lower number of chicken during the past months.

The other factor that led to the increase in chicken price is the rise in the price of chicks. According to poultry farmers, the price of layers chicks increased to NPR 42 each from NPR 38.

According to Nepal Poultry Entrepreneurs' Forum an umbrella organisation of poultry producers around 56.1 million broiler live chickens are produced every year. Likewise, the annual egg production stands at around 714.6 million. Poultry farmers produce around 58,000 tons of chicken every year.

There are over 2,500 poultry farms (small and big) throughout the country. More than NPR 16 billion has been invested in poultry business.

Requirements of poultry farming

Site selectionBefore establishing a firm, location plays an important role in business i.e such location should be selected which has got link with motor able road, abundant water supply, 24 hour electricity and all around communication facility.

Shape and size Poultry farming is such a business which we can start with any amount of fund and infra structures. Even chicken are brought up in households feeding the spillover foods and other wastes. But to run it in the commercial scale, optimum number of chickens and equivalent size of the farm with abundant supply of pellets should be made first considering the present demand and tastes of the consumers.

Poultry expertise A specialist on the field of poultry with the knowledge of diseases and medications should always be in constant contact and regular inspection of the farm by vet nary doctors should be made. The paid workers and entrepreneur should also have some knowledge of handling the chickens and identification of some disease.

Acquisition of materials: Raw materials needed for the farm should always be available and stock should be plenty in the time of shortages as chickens cannot survive much time without any food. Pellets bought in big lots also give economies of scale. Protein rich supplements, antibiotics and vitamins should also be given in regular basis. Temperature and lightings for egg-layers should also be maintained precisely. Required amount of feed and day old broiler bird will be purchased from local market.

Marketing and distribution Poultry farms, especially with the broilers, wont make profits if the finished products i.e. hen are not taken to the market after specified time which is normally 6 weeks. After 6 weeks the hens wont convert the feeds into flesh so, it would be unproductive to hold them any longer.

Preparation and disinfection of shed The movable equipments such as feeders and water available in IAAS will be removed from the poultry shed for cleaning and disinfection . Floors , interior of the walls and roof will be scrubbled and previous litters will removed from the poultry house . After removing litters, dust from poultry house pens will be washed with fresh water . Farm house pens will be disinfected using 5% phenol solution ,followed by spraying of 3% solution of Korhsolin (disinfectant) inside and outside the shade .Battery brooders will also washed using a disinfectant , 5% solution of phenol and 3% solution of Khorsolin will also be sprayed inside and outside the brooders.

Feeding The birds will be given starter ration from 0 to 3 week of age . The ration from 0to 3 weeks will have energy value of 3200MEKcal/kg and cp content will be same where as cp content will be 20%. Baghel and Netke (1987) have shown that a combination of 23.5 sesame meal and 28% soyabean meal (almost 0.88.1 ratio) have given good result in broiler performance ,provided the minimum recommended levels of lysine , methionine and cystine were taken care in broilers diets.Wethli and Paris (1995) reported that a diet formulated using locally available sesame seeds ingredient without a premix but receiving green leaves , produced a weight gain that was about 20% lower than that attained by a commercial diet , with about 15% inferior feed conversion and a similar mortality.

Vaccination and medication To maintain health of poultry, timely vaccination and medication by vetenerian will be done.

Litter management:Rice husk will be user as litter by maintaining 5 cm thick on floor. The litter will be stirred twice in a week to prevent watery. Wet litter will be removed and dry will be replaced. Before placing the litter in poultry house, dust lime will be used as disinfectant.

Brooding and rearing: After receiving of chicks they will be put in well heated brooder which has run 24 hr before the arrival of chocks with proper temperature of 90 to 95 degree Celsius with adequate dry litter. The temperature is maintained as below:

Age temperature (F)1st week 952nd week 903rd week 854th week 805th week 756th week 70

Lighting management: Brooder house will be provided with 24 hour light throughout the growing period with one 60 watt bulb for each 200 sq. feet of floor space.

Floor space: 1sq. feet per bird will be provided.

Vaccination: Broiler will be vaccinated as follows: Age days of vaccination One day Marek or F1 vaccine 14th day Gambaro intermediate 26th day Ranikhet F1 or Lasota. 28th day Gambaro intermediate

Market Needs

The poultry industry in Nepal has emerged as the most dynamic and fastest expanding segment in animal husbandary sector .There has been a phenomenol growth in the Nepalese poultry industry in the last 3 decades. The contribution of agriculture to GDP is 38.15 % and the contribution of livestock to AGDP is 27.66% (MOAC, 2006). The net meat production during the year 2006/2007 was 2, 27,105 metric ton out of which the distribution from chicken was 1, 61, 26 metric ton (MOAC, 2006/2007)There are about 14.5 million poultry birds in Nepal which contribute about 9.70 thousands metric tons of meat and 980.4 million eggs to the human diets (CBS, 1997). The per capita consumption of poultry meat and egg in Nepal is very low (0.32 kg meat and 0.48 kg egg per person per year ) as compared to the world average (about 8 kg /person / year meat and egg respectively ) . Nepal ranked 96 th position among the egg producing countries (Olintine,1997) . It is essential to supply 40 gm protein to daily human diets of which 50% should be supplied through animal protein source for good health (Heinz,1975) . Thus poultry birds are good source of animal protein .Feed cost of poultry accounts more than 70% of the total cost of production. However recent estimation revealed that Nepal had deficient in feed production by about 36% (Pariyar, 1996). With increasing human population and expected per capita income, there is tremendous scope of poultry production in Nepal; however the price of feed ingredient is increasing. Poultry industry in Nepal growing at a rate of 15% per annum involving over 30,000 farms families directly or indirectly (Nakarmi ,2001 ) .Besides providing better nutrition in terms of egg and meat ,it also gives employment to a large number of people in the country . Poultry farming has emerged as major income generating enterprises in agriculture sector during the last four decades. Considering the trends of population growth, urbanization, road access, transportation linkages, change in food habit of the people, increasing awareness on nutrition and growing demands it can be assumed that this sector will grow continuously in foreseeable future. Poultry perhaps have higher requirements for each nutrient than do other domesticated animals. Eating regulation in poultry differ from those of other animals. Poultry eat to provide for energy needs. Poultry have higher body temperature than other animals and accordingly require a higher energy ration .Feed alone cost 65-75% of total broiler production and ultimately results in high price of poultry meat. Nowadays this industry has expanded well enough to replace imports of feeds, chicks, eggs, and meat products thus has played vital role in boosting the national income of the country.

BUSINESS RISKS

The farm faces certain risks inherent to food commodities in general and meat products in particular.

Financial Risks. Our quarterly revenues and operating results are difficult to predict and may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter as a result of a variety of factors. Among these factors are: Changes in our own or competitors' pricing policies Fluctuations in expected revenues from advertisers, sponsors and strategic relationships Timing of costs related to acquisitions or payments. Legislative / Legal Landscape. Our participation in the health care arena presents unique risks: Malpractice and other related liability State regulations on quarantine, insurance and the practice of medicine. Storage, transmission and disclosure of firms information and hygiene records Operational Risks. To attract and retain users to the Rato Bhale products, we must continue to provide quality and Hygienic content. This confers certain risks including the failure to: Anticipate and respond to consumer preferences for content, Preference and service Attract, excite and retain a large audience of consumers to the Rato Bhale Products. Create and maintain successful strategic alliances with high quality partners Deliver high quality, "24/7" customer service and web site performance Build the Rato Bhale brand rapidly and substantially The required feed will be available. Timely availability of budget. Poultry raising environment will be favorable for growth. Poultry grower will adopt technology Outbreak of birdflue remains normal Compete effectively against better-established Poultry Farm companies, such as Ratna Hatchery (P) Ltd , Gems Agro Livestock Industries Pvt. Ltd etc

Competitive Edge:

Rato Bhale will position itself as unique poultry farm where it produces not only meat products but also enjoy the best of its kind you can ever achieve. Hygienic poultry environment in which chicks are fed with nutritious and chicken friendly pellets differentiates itself from Incumbent competitors.

Sales Forecast

Feeds costs are assumed at 80% of the total cost incurred on each chicken. Seasonal consumer preference and the probable uncertainties of outbreak of market rumors for the outbreak of avian flu will dictate certain sales seasonality with revenues slightly decreasing during such periods.
