SWOT ANALYSIS
Strength
❖ Skilled laborer.
❖ Year around water availability.
❖ Good working capital.
❖ Suitable climate.
Weakness
❖ Farms not fully mechanized.
❖ Depend on manual labor.
❖ High input price.
Threat
• If any viral disease (like Bird flu) occur in the farm its cause total
loss of production.
Opportunity
• Making fully automatic air conditioned poultry; it reduces
mortality loss during summer season and produces more bird in
same area of land.
Conclusion & Remarks
In overall view poultry farm is undoubtedly a good business and
Mr. Jena managing this business in a good manner. He has a plan
to organize the farm in fully mechanized way to reduce labour
involvement and manage the temperature and relative humidity
properly to increase the quality and quantity of produce.

DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES OF FISHERY FARM
1.Pond Management
❖ Clean the pond first to kill unwanted fish by Liming.
❖ Tillage is done using tractor for facilitating proper aeration, disease
prevention and removal of harmful ammonia.
❖ Water loading is done for up to 5 feet.
❖ Liming is done. For 1 acre approximately 200 Kg lime is used. 100 kg
initially used and rest 100 kg in subsequent interval.
❖ After 7 days, for production of Zooplankton, 1000 Kg cow dung and 10
kg SSP are added into the water. Prior adding the mixture, of cow dung
and SSP is fermented in a fermentation tank for more than 24 hrs. This
process has to be practised for 4 to 5 times in 8 months.
❖ After a week 2000 fingerling were introduced 100 gm each. So total
weight of 200 kg of seed is given.
FARM POND
16. 16
(Groundnut Cake IN Powdery Form)
➢ For calculation of amount of feed to be given, we have to
calculate 5% body weight of the seed weight.
(Artificial Feed )
17. 17
(Feeding Time)
3.Fish Biomass
❖ Fish biomass is done to analyse the amount of feed needed for
a growing fish with respect.
❖ Fish biomass is done for 8 month. In this case fish biomass is
done after one month. 10 fishes were randomly collected from
the pond and average of their weight is considered.
❖ Suppose average weight of the fish is 120 gm. Every month the
feed that is given to the fish doubles. So the feed given in this
month is around 200 gm.
18. 18
❖ So the feed needed for 1 fish is 120 gm x 200 gm = 24,000 (i.e=
24 kg). For 10 fish, 24 x 10 = 240 kg So the feed that is given for
1 acre area of pond is = 5% of 240 kg = 12 kg of feed.
❖ For subsequent months it is practised every month to know the
amount of feed and the cost of feed. The weight of the fish
increases with time and within 8 months the weight per fish
increases to 1 kg.
4.Financial Report
Fixed Cost=6,00,000/- including Pond installation, Pump etc.
Recurrent Cost
• Fingerling cost=40,000/- (6000 pcs)
• Feeding Cost= 93000/-
• Medicine Cost=5000/-

• Electric bill=5000/-
• Harvesting Cost=5000/- Total Recurrent Cost=2,18,000/
Return
• Mortality=10%
• Total Production= 37q 80kg
• Fish selling Price=110/- (Per Kg)
Total Return =4,15,800/-
Profit= 1,97,800/-
SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTH
❖ Availability of Water through out the year.
❖ Large Market Demand.
❖ Fluctuation in selling price is very low.
WEAKNESS
❖ Unavailability of labour.
❖ Easy spread of disease.
OPPORTUNITIES
❖ As there are no fisheries in nearby area, the demand for this
enterprise is more.
❖ Integrated Farming System
THREATS
❖ Easy transmission of diseases.
❖ Threats from birds.

CONCLUSION:
As fishery farming is tremendously beneficial commercial agri
business, Rabi Jena is getting high benefit of 1,97,800/-.

VERMICOMPOST UNIT VISIT
Profile
❖ Name : ATMA Begunia Block, Khordha.
❖ Address : Begunia, Odisha 752062.
❖ Age : 64
Introduction
Vermicomposting is a mesophilic process utilizing
microorganisms and earthworms. Earthworms feeds the organic
waste materials and passes it through their digestive system and
gives out in a granular form (cocoons) which is known
22. 22
as vermicompost .Which have high market value and its is a
very profitable business.
ACTIVITIES
1.Selection of Site
❖ The site selected for the pit should be easily approachable for
inspection.
❖ Pit should be at a comparatively higher level so that neither rain
water gets into nor the water table rises and causes water
stagnation in the pit during monsoon.
❖ It should be near the cattle shed and the source of water supply.
❖ Compost pit should be located at a distance from the road or
else compost containing toxic metal lead contaminates even
food grain, affecting health of animals & human beings.
2.Construction of Tanks
❖ With the help of bricks cemented tanks are constructed on the
soil surface. Size of the tank should be 2m x1mx0.6m with 9”
inch thick brick wall.
❖ For circulation of air, proper holes of 7” inches (preferably) are
left on all the four sides of the tank wall.
❖ Plastering of inner-outer wall & floor of the tank should be done
by dung and mud mixture.
3.Materials required
❖ Farm residues, refuses like weeds, grasses, leaves, sugarcane
trash, stubbles and all kind of wastes, stalks, roots, stems,
pruning, stalk of green manuring crops,
❖ Cattle dung, Water.
23. 23
❖ Wastes from Agro-Industries, Bio-degradable portion of urban
and rural wastes.
4.Method of filling the tank
❖ Before filling the tank, slurry made of cow dung and water
should be sprinkled on the floor and the wall.
❖ 1st layer- 2 inch high break pieces layer is spread over the bottom
portion of the tank.
❖ 2nd layer-2 inch high sand layer spread over the break layer.
❖ 3rd layer- 6 to 8 inch high Bio-degradable waste layer spread over
the sand layer.
❖ 4th layer-2 days old raw cow dung spread over the waste layer
and after that thick cow dung slurry sprinkle over the cow dung.
❖ Then the 2nd and 3rd steps repeated 4 to 5 time until the tank is
full.
❖ Then after 15 days when then relies of ammonia gas is stop then
add earth worm and spraying water some days interval to
maintain optimum moisture level.
5.Maturity
After feeding earthworm excrete on the top. After maturity its take
dark red colour and tea like dusty powdery shape.
6.Harvesting
❖ Water supply stop 2 -3 days before harvest and after collecting
the vermicompost keep on the heap and daily harvest 5-6 inch
on the heap until the earthworm seen on the bottom.
❖ Then collected compost keep into shade and the small earth
worm remove by the help of screen
24. 24
7.Packing
Put the vermicompost into small pack for marketing and for long-term
collection put it into heap and cover by a gunny bag and sprinkle cow
urine 20 days interval.
8.Process of quality increase
Add 1kg Ajotobactor,1 kg Azospirillum , and 1 kg PSB in 25 kg of
vermicompost for enhance the quality of vermicompost.
9.Efficient earth worm Species
➢ Eisenia foetida .
➢ Erudrillus eugeniae.
10.Nutrient content of Vermicompost
❖Nitrogen : 1.5 - 2.5%
❖Phosphorus : 0.9 - 1.7%
❖Potash : 1.5 - 2.4%
❖Calcium : 0.5 - 1.0%
❖Magnesium : 0.2 - 0.3%
❖Sulphur : 0.4 - 0.5%
