Egg laying hens quantity * Mortality rate 95% *chicken price (/kg) *average weight of laying hens (2.2kg/bird)
Total Cycle Expenses:
Egg laying cycle 374 days * Feeding for laying hens 0.105kg/bird/day * Breeding quantity (bird) * Feeding price of laying hens (/kg)
The brooding cycle is 130 days * feeding for chicks is 0.045kg/bird/day * breeding quantity(bird) * feeding price of the chicks (/kg)
Day Old Chick price (/bird) * breeding quantity /egg laying mortality 95%
Total Cycle Revenue:
Slaughter weight (kg/bird) * 98% Morality rate * breeding quantity (bird) * chicken wholesale price (/kg)
Total Cycle Expenses:Breeding period (day) * Average feed intake (0.2kg/bird/day) * Breeding quantity (bird) * Feeding price (/kg)
Day old Chick price (/piece) * Breeding quantity (bird)/Mortality 98%
