I. Introduction

Broiler chickens are reared foe meat rather than for eggs. The broiler industry

began in the late 1950s when strains were selectively bred for meat production.

Broiler production is the most popular enterprise in the Philippines as well as

in the other countries. It demand a little amount of time for the meat to be processed.

It is important today due to the fast growing population that to increase the much

needed supply of meat to fill in the supply or protein, the nutritional need of children,

and people deficient in protein foods.

With the right knowledge in broiler production, it can be easily managed and

engaged with this kind of project. This is just a small-scale with limited capital and

best for farmers to have additional family income and those who are business

minded are also encouraged to have this kind of project.

 If the level of broiler production in the Philippines is high, it can minimize

importation. For this reason, not only farmers but also other people are induced to

engage in home or backyard or even established farm poultry raising.

II. Objectives of the Project

The project aims to produce 200 heads of Broiler. Apply the right feeding

management at various stages of growth. Determine the cost and return analysis in

broiler production. This is a project of the faculty in RMTU Botolan Campus. It is

found at the vacant poultry house of palayamanan project of the campus.

III. Brooding Management

Provide a well-built artificially heated brooder until they are two weeks old. The

allotted space should be enough to accumulate the heat inside the brooder house.

The ratio is 1 watt is to 1 chick.

All sides of the brooder house were covered with sacks to avoid the entrance

of cold airs and to prevent them from disturbance. Broiler chicks are usually raised

on litter floors. Feed and water container heights should be raised as the birds get

older. The lip of the drinkers and feeders should be at the same height as the back

of the birds.
 Incandescent bulb (100 watts) was used for heating and temporary light at

night time. Artificial lighting within the broiler sheds is carefully controlled. Initially,

lighting is bright to accustom the chicks to the location of food and water and

encourage maximum eating and rapid growth. When the stocks arrived, water with

sugar is given for fast recovery during transport.

IV. Management of Growing birds

After the brooding stage, the partition were removed to widen space and to

prevent crowding. Newspapers were removed as well as the sacks on the side to

provide fresh air and to prevent them from heat stress. Feeding trough was provided

to minimize waste of feeds. Fresh water with vitamins was always provided.

V. Animal Protection

Vitamins that are needed by the stocks should be given in right and exact

measurement to have a good metabolic process. If it is not given at the right dosage

it may lead into deficiency symptoms.

The birds are given a daily dosage of multivitamin solution. The dosage was

teaspoon for every 1 gallon of water. One week before harvest fresh water is

being given to the stocks.

 Feed should be withdrawn from the birds approximately 4 hours prior to

slaughtering. This will help to prevent contamination of the carcass by feces and

intestinal contents.

VI. Proper Waste Disposal

Poultry waste management has become more of an environmental concern

as animal operations become much bigger in size now a day.

Proper waste disposal is strictly implemented. Chicken waste is collected

every morning and afternoon to minimize foul odor and flies. Chicken dung are dried

and used as fertilizers.

VII. Feeding Management

a. Brooding Management

During the brooding stage, chicks are given 1.92-2 kilograms of chick

booster per day. After seven days it was changed into Purina Bio- 100 at about 3-

3.5 kilograms per day for another seven days.

 b. Growing stage

After 14 days of brooding, birds were given Purina Bio-200 at about 4.5-

5 kilograms per day for the 3rd week, then 7-7.5 kilograms per day on the 4th week.

The same feeds are given.

c. Finishing stage

Birds are given Purina Bio-300 at about 10-10.5 kilograms. On this stage

fresh water is given to the stocks.

VIII. Record Keeping

The purpose of record keeping is to determine the exact activities of the

project, which make the project successful.

Record keeping was done since the project was started. It include the

preparation of the pen, cleaning and disinfecting, selection of the stocks, brooding

management, feeding management and marketing.

IX. Marketing and Financial Aspects

Marketing Aspect

A. Production Description
 After 35 days, the broiler project produced quality poultry meat. Live weight

and dressed weight are sold at the barangay and faculty of the Ramon Magsaysay

Technological University at Botolan.

B. Pricing

According to the revenue analysis, the prices are computed based on the total

revenue divided by the number of animals. The price is also compared to the market

price of the poultry meat on Botolan public market.

The poultry meat was sold at the following prices:

Live Weight P 120. 00

Dressed Weight ... P 140.00

C. Market Place

The products were disposed at the Barangay Porac and to the Faculty and

staff of Ramon Magsaysay Technological University, Botolan Campus at Porac,

Botolan, Zambales.
X. Financial Aspects

The project was financed by faculty of the school for the NBC. Each faculty

contributed two thousand pesos (P2000.00). The money will be given back to the

faculty members after the termination of the project.
