STUDY ON COMMERCIAL BROILER FARMING SYSTEM AND ITS PROBLEMS IN CHOUDDAGRAM UPAZILLA,CUMILLA

Abstract

A study was conducted on a commercial broiler farming system and its problems in Chouddagram upazilla,cumilla. The study was carried out during my Upazilla veterinary hospital placement from 12/10/2019 too 12/11/2019 . During this period I worked actively in Sunrise poultry farm & collected data on prospects and problems of broiler farming in the Chouddagram upazilla by using an interview schedule through face to face interview of the farm owner and the workers who work in the farm. There were 4 broiler sheds in sunrise poultry farm. The owner of the farm was interested in rearing broiler under modern farming system. The estimated net profit of the farm from one batch of 1000bird shed was found Tk.18250. The BCR (benefit cost ratio) is 1.09.But he felt always threaten to rear broiler due to various problems like high price of feed, lack of electricity, poor quality chicks, high mortality of chicks, lack of diagnostic lab etc. So, the possibility was found high but facility was found very low. If the problems can be recovered, he along with other farmers would be more encouraged to establish broiler farms on a large scale in all seasons.
