@abhilash.r, venture capital subsidy 30% is available if u submit a business plan to Govt through a bank. I have prepared large projects for full automation. But be careful in selecting right adviser.

@Alex, Do u have project for 50000 layer and broiler with fully automated system.

@Namrata Thakur, in order to start a broiler farm you have to have land. you can start with 5000 broiler birds with a retail unit. in case you want to go for wholesale without retail unit you will require 10,000 birds. working capital for 5000 birds broiler farm is 7lac per batch. it will be rotated each batch. fixed capital requirement may vary depending on your construction and the level of automation in your broiler shed

@anil, working capital for rotation will be 7 lac for each batch. however if you opt for contract farming, the chicks feed medicine and vaccine will be provided by the contract farming company and the birds raised by you will be lifted by the company. you will get a rearing charge for raising the birds.

@abhilash.r, working capital for rotation for 10,000 birds broiler farm is around 1.4 million Rs. in case you opt for contract farming you will be viewed of this cost and will receive a rearing cost from the contracting company. the company provides chicks feed medicine vaccine and purchases your marketable birds.

@Inderpreet Dhindsa, you can have broiler farm of 5000 birds with a retail unit to sell your chicken. development cost depends on the level of automation and system of rearing

@Sazid Ali, for a 5000 birds farm you will require a construction of 5000 sq ft.the cost may vary depending on your construction. working capital can be anything between Rs.125-140 per bird for a 2 kg bird. in case you enter contract farming major part of your working capital will be waived. the contracting firm  provides you chick feed medicine at their cost. 

@rocky, each of these farming have their advantages. however broiler farming has a short cycle length (6 weeks) with many fluctuations in the markets price

in case of layer farming you have to start with a capacity of 10-15000 eggs per day capacity while broiler farming can be started with 3000-5000 birds provided you have a processing unit. also the avenues of contract farming are wide in broiler farming.

@RAVI KUMAR T V, you can start a 10,000 broiler birds capacity broiler farm per acre. consider the factors as follows: available finance, market potential, system of rearing

@sandip, 75% loan can be available as finance from banks. also nabard has schemes .

@sundar, the working capital for a 2 kg bid is around 125-135Rs. the income will vary depending on the market potential and the cost of in & outs. for a farm of capacity 5000 birds you will require 5000 sq ft construction and for a farm of 10,000 birds you will require 10,000 sq ft construction.
