11) feed @ 120 g/chick/day for 21-40 weeks @ 3000/bag..................................1,008,000.
Total.................................................4,579,360.
PROFIT ANALYSIS
Sale of birds @ 2000 x 450(10% mortality).....................900,000.
profit= recurrent expenditure- proceeds= .................1,794,360-900,000
=894,360 naira.
The layers provide additional profit at same cost..... sale of eggs @ 900/crate for
234,000 naira.
The overhead cost will reduce from 2nd phase of production as the cost will include recurrent expenditure only,meaning more profit for the investor.
The production phase can also be prolonged by forced moulting to extend laying period,resulting more bigger eggs.
