Effects of Down Time & Production Period on Broiler Profits

If you’re a broiler farmer (or planning on becoming one) THIS study should become a foundational data source for you.

Why?

Because it answers 2 key questions:

1. “What is my most profitable production cycle length?“
2. “How much does each additional day of downtime REALLY cost me?“

And more impressively about this study is it shows you in precise detail WHY that is…

It reveals in intricate detail the relationship between:

• broiler weight gain
• feed cost
• production timing
• downtime
• PROFIT

In other words,

If you’re still trying to pin down (with confidence) how long your production cycle ought to be – to pinpoint your MAX ROI…

…then, this study is all you need to interpret the key data.

A highly detailed calculation – and thoroughly rewarding read for EVERY broiler farmer.

Quick highlights:

The seamless scheduling of:

• day-old chick arrival
• cleaning and brooder preparation
• processing lead time
• back-to-back rearing cycles

…minimises downtime and therfore maximises profit.

For example, reducing the cleaning and prep downtime by 7 days can increase your net income by as much as 30%!

Efficient and economical operational management – literally pays off.
