Cost of producing a chick is very important either economically and business perspective, most people do not know how to calculate the cost of producing a chick. Today i will teach how you can calculate it.
All figures used in calculation are supposition,
Cost of Producing a Chick:
Total Feed Intake of a broiler Breeder female is 60 kg.
Cost Per Kg of feed = Rs. 40/-
Total Feed Cost per female = 60*40 = Rs. 2400/-
Feed is 70% of total Cost hence,
Total Cost of per female is = 2400*100/70 = 3428
Total cost of a female = 3428
- Assume for each ten fertile females we need a male Then Male cost is 10% of female cost.
So, Male cost per female = 10%(3428) Rs. 343 per female
So cost of a fertile female= 343+3428 = 3771
- Total Eggs Produced by a female = 180
- Total Chicks Produced by a female = 140
Cost per egg = 3771/180 = 21
Cost per chick = 3771/140 = 27
Cost is 27 rupees.
