1. Introduction
i. A unit can be started with very small size with low initial capital investment
ii. Low feed cost due to use of Agricultural by-products, farm and kitchen waste
etc.
iii. Quality of chicken and egg is better as the birds are raised in stress less
environment with natural input.
iv. Egg and birds can be sold in local market with high price, because there is a
growing demand for local chicken.
v. Resistance to diseases, better adaptability to extreme climatic conditions, can
thrive on poor management and housing arrangements
vi. Source of supplementary income and better utilization of family laboures who
are not able to perform other agricultural works
vii. Due to low maintenance, acceptability among the landless labourers or
marginal farmers and women members of Self Help Groups is higher

i. Housing management for backyard poultry farming
A small unit for rearing of improved indigenous birds for meat purpose can be
established as backyard unit by landless families, SHG members. Since
indigenous birds are more resistant to diseases and adverse climatic condition
as compared to hybrid birds, they can be reared in the shed made from low cost
housing material like wood, bamboo, grass, thatch etc. Area of 1sqft per bird is
sufficient. Overcrowding of birds should be avoided. The sheds should be
constructed on well raised land and non-water logging areas. The shed should
be well ventilated ands Floor should be in elevated land or above ground level
(minimum 2ft) and free from water crack, easily cleaned, rat proof.
The birds are to be fed with good quality concentrate feed to attain the desired
marketable weight. The feed can be prepared by the farmers by mixing the
available feed ingredients. The feed should be stored in clean, dry, well
ventilated room and care should be taken that fungal infection is not occurred.
The birds are to be fed a per schedule avoiding over and under feeding.
Generally these birds are having habits of scavenging for feeding. However, to
avoid feed losses it is desirable to provide feed in locally available feeder. Birds
are to be always provided with fresh and clean drinking water. Water should be
always available at birds and it should be ensure that birds do not enter the
waterers.
II. Financial
a. Outlay:
Outlay of the project depends on the local conditions, unit size and the investment
components included in the project. Prevailing market prices / cost may be considered
to arrive at the outlay.
b. Margin Money:
Margin depends on the category of the borrowers and may range from 10% to 25%.
c. Interest Rate:
Banks are free to decide the interest rates within overall RBI guidelines. However, for
working out financial viability and bankability of model project, the rate of interest is
assumed at 12.00% p.a.
d. Security:
Security will be as per RBI / NABARD guidelines issued from time to time.
e. Repayment of loan:
The loan repayment is determined, on the basis of gross surplus generated in the
project. Usually the repayment period of loan for broiler farming is 5 years without
moratorium.
f. Insurance:
The birds and other assets (poultry shed, equipment etc) may be insured. Wherever
necessary Risk/Mortality fund may be considered in lieu of poultry insurance.
