Hello Sir
A good practical training and experience on a broiler farm will be highly desirable, before starting a broiler farm. As broilers have tobe sold after attaining 6-7 weeks of age, a regular and constant demand for broiler meat and nearness of the farm to the market should be ensured.
Loan from banks with refinance facility from NABARD is available for starting broiler farming.
For obtaining bank loan, u should apply to the nearest branch of a commercial or cooperative or regional rural bank in their area in the prescribed application form which is available in the branches of financing bank.
The technical officers attached to or the manager of the bank will give guidance to u in preparing the project report to obtain bank loan.
Cost of land is not considered for loan. However, if land is purchased for starting a broiler farm, its cost can be treated as party's margin money upto 10% of the total cost of project.
NABARD has defined farmers into three different categories and where subsidy is not available the minimum down payment as shown below is collected from the beneficiaries.
Small farmers 5%
Medium farmers 10%
Large farmers 15%

A few guidelines to u
Study the market demand for particular live weight of the birds.
Birds should not be kept on the farm beyond 6-7 weeks of age, as their feed efficiency will go down considerably.
If birds are sold after dressing (processing) use clean dressing hall and processing equipment.
Dressed birds should be chilled in the ice-cold water for 3-4 hours and excess water removed.
Birds should then be packed in clean plastic bags and the mouth of bag sealed. 44.Processed birds should be marketed as early as possible.
If they have to be preserved, deep freezing equipment (-10 to -200C) be used.
Refrigerated vans may be required for long distance transportation.
