A broiler management course is a program designed to educate farmers, poultry producers, and other interested individuals on the best practices for managing broiler chickens. Broiler chickens are raised for meat production and require specialized care to ensure their growth, health, and well-being. The course typically covers various aspects of broiler management, including housing, feeding, health management, and disease prevention. It may also cover topics such as breeding, hatching, and marketing of broiler chickens. Participants in a broiler management course will learn about the different types of broiler housing and the best practices for managing temperature, ventilation, and lighting to ensure optimal growth and production. They will also learn about the various types of broiler feed and how to formulate a balanced diet that meets the nutritional requirements of broiler chickens. Health management is a critical aspect of broiler management, and the course will cover topics such as biosecurity measures, vaccination programs, and disease diagnosis and treatment. Participants will learn how to recognize common health problems in broiler chickens and how to implement preventative measures to keep their flocks healthy. Marketing is also an important aspect of broiler management, and the course may cover topics such as market analysis, pricing strategies, and distribution channels. Overall, a broiler management course provides participants with the knowledge and skills needed to raise healthy, productive broiler chickens, and to operate a successful broiler farming business.

All of the above poultry-keeping methods are used in the developing world,but the majority of the enterprises are backyard poultry and farm flock production. The poultry and egg sectors are highly fragmented. Most of the production is carried out by a large number of farmers, each with a very small flock. The greater part of produce is sold in markets close to the farms.
Day-old chicks are usually obtained from local hatcheries licensed by international hybrid breeding companies. Farmers or cooperatives of farmers may choose between varieties of chickens for egg production and meat production.
The small chicks can be either naturally or artificially brooded. If artificially brooded, small chicks must be placed in a separate house from laying chickens and it is necessary to protect the chicks from predators, diseases and catching colds.
This stage of brooding lasts for eight weeks. In the first four weeks of life, small chicks need to be housed in a brooding box. Some typical types of brooders are shown below and on the previous page.
Typically, a layerโs production cycle lasts just over a year (52-56 weeks). During the production cycle many factors influence egg production; therefore, the cycle must be managed effectively and efficiently in order to provide maximum output and profitability.
Layer poultry farming means raising egg laying poultry birds for the purpose of commercial egg production. Layer chickens are such a special species of hens, which need to be raised from when they are one day old. They start laying eggs commercially from 18-19 weeks of age.

Pregnancy is central to care and management of animals. Healthy Pregnant Animals means a Healthy and Prosperous Farm. Pregnant animals need special care for example they need suitable ration to reduce the possibility of diseases like milk fever and ketosis at the time of calving and also to ensure adequate milk production. There are other aspects which need to be cared about pregnant animals which we discuss in this presentation.
For better poultry farming, cognizance about different breeds should be important. To go either layer or broiler farming, breeds are the considerable factors. All are differentiated in terms of their geographical distribution, utility, colour etc.

Market segmentation:
It is the process of dividing a broad consumer or business market, normally consisting of existing and potential customers, into sub-groups of consumers (known as segments) based on some type of shared characteristics such as shared needs, common interests, similar lifestyles or even similar demographic profiles.
Pricing strategies:
Good pricing strategy helps you determine the price point at which you can maximize profits on sales of your products or services. When setting prices, a business owner needs to consider a wide range of factors including production and distribution costs, competitor offerings, positioning strategies and the businessโ target customer base.
Consumer Adoption Process:
The Consumer Adoption Process is a 5 step mental process by which all the customers/ consumer go through while adopting a product from learning about a new product to becoming a happy loyal user of that product or to decline/reject the product completely. The process of a consumer of moving from a cognitive state toward the emotional state and finally reaching towards the behavioral or conative state is another way to explain Consumer Adoption Process.
Buyer decision making process:
The customer buying process (also called a buying decision process) describes the journey your customer goes through before they buy your product.

Poultry Marketing
Foreword
In the day and age of below-the-belt sales tactics and half-truths in
marketing strategies, finding the balance between what is morally right and
also commercially successful is the tricky thing to do. At the same time, all
organizations constantly find themselves trying to juggle healthy
competition, intense strategies and the unending cycle of deadlines as they
strive to climb the mountain of financial gain to the top before the rest of
them.
Most people think โsellingโ is the same as โtalkingโ. But the most effective
salespeople know that listening is the most important part of their job. โ Roy
Bartell
The Definition of Marketing
Put simply, marketing is finding out what customers want and supplying it at a
profit.
The process is customer oriented. The customer will not buy an unwanted
product.
The product must be provided at a profit. Profit provides the incentive to
continue with the business. The potential for increased profits offers the main
incentive to develop and supply a variety of products to tempt the customer.

Marketing Activities in Poultry
The activities involved in marketing include the collection, evaluation and
dissemination of marketing information; planning and scheduling of production;
forming contracts between buyers and sellers; constant improvement of all
post-harvest activities; and co-ordinating inputs, including transport,
processing, storage, credit, health care etc.
The Importance of Marketing in Poultry
Marketing is important because of changing demographic patterns. Populations
generally move from the villages into the towns, perhaps leaving fewer people
in the main agricultural production regions. Combined with the general growth
in population, this situation provides improved opportunities for rural
communities to grow and sell more of their products, particularly in the towns,
earning more money and being able to raise standards of living. The urban folk
are able to make their contribution to society without the need to consider
constant agricultural activity. Growing more food may be easier for those with
land/facilities/cash but the farmer with a smallholding may find it difficult to
take advantage of a larger market, particularly where there is competition from
a larger producer. An improved marketing strategy, however, may enable him
to reduce certain costs, perhaps by joining with others, leaving him with better
profits.
Poultry as a Product
Before a poultry marketing strategy can be developed, it is well to understand
and list the characteristics of the product. The following are examples. They
may vary from one region to another:

โข Poultry consumption offends no religious sentiment.
โข Its production is dependent on a wide variety of inputs eg
o Chick hatcheries
o Feed producers
o Veterinary services
o Processing facilities
o Transport
o Efficient cold chain
โข Its production and consumption is generally non-seasonal.
โข It is a perishable product which most usually needs refrigeration and
considerable post-harvest care.
โข It may be sold whole or in a wide variety of different parts. A different
value can be placed on each part.
โข It is eaten as a central part of the meal.
โข Each part may be prepared for consumption in different ways according to
a different recipe. It is invariably cooked and eaten with other food
products and additives eg vegetables, spices.
โข It is a basic food commodity inasmuch that it is a supplier of proteins and
essential food nutrients to the human diet.
โข It is not the only supplier of proteins and essential food nutrients to the
human diet. It is in competition with other meats and protein sources
including fish, eggs and dairy products.
โข Its consumption level is dependant on price, income of buyer and the
price and availability of competing alternatives.
The Poultry Market
Having understood the product, it may be as well to understand and list the
characteristics of the market. Once again, the following are examples:
โข Poultry should be supplied from an accredited abattoir.
โข There are many contacts to be made in the marketing structure. For
example, producers, buyers, sellers and customers. All have information
indicating the product which the customer demands.
โข Customers expect poultry to be a constant product, not changing with
season, time of day, severity of rains etc.

Phone: +91-9871203111 Email: md@innovistaconsulting.com
โข The customers expect a constant throughput, not expecting serious
shortfalls or gluts. Production schedules need full control.
โข The product may be subject to the laws of supply and demand. An
oversupply will lead to a fall in price and profitability. An undersupply may
cause a rise in price but the customer may purchase other products to the
detriment of later sales.
โข Markets can be supplied under contract. For example, a particular buyer
may want a constant order filled each week to a particular products
specification for which he will pay a premium.
โข There is a standard of quality which the market demands. Customers will
not return to buy more if the product is unwholesome. At point of
purchase, quality relates to presentation as much as anything else.
Assessment of quality by the customer may be fairly subjective if not
almost unreasonable. Customers may look at the colour of the meat.
They may also look at the colour of the wrapper.
โข The market may respond to advertising.
โข Test marketing the product may or may not indicate the results of
implementation of a full marketing strategy.
Marketing your Product
There are three steps which must be undertaken before a change in marketing
should take place. These are:
โข Research and analysis of the potential market,
โข Reaching a decision about what to do by way of making inroads into the
new market and finally
โข Converting that decision into practice.
Research and analysis
The first step is to determine exactly what market exists and the problems and
constraints on that market. Information should be gathered on the volumes
traded (if any), its type (high volume/low margins or low volume/high margins),
product traded (whole, in pieces, breaded, spiced, cooked etc) its numbers
(ratio between the various sorts), weights of portions, style of packaging, how it
is transported to the markets, how it is stored in the market before sale, if cold
storage is available, if there are refrigerators in private homes on a large scale,
the number of potential speciality markets (hotels, fast food outlets, prisons,

Phone: +91-9871203111 Email: md@innovistaconsulting.com
schools, hospitals, private clubs, restaurants etc), who is supplying what to
whom. The list is seemingly endless.
The second step is to determine what the markets want. The prices should be
examined. If too high, an increase in supply may bring down prices a little but
result in a much bigger turnover. This may indicate a large income elasticity to
which an increase in production/supply is indicated to the benefit of all
participants in the marketing chain. The market may want a different grade of
poultry, cut differently (into drumsticks and thighs for example, rather than
legs) improved shelf-life, different packaging (eg a film bag rather than a wrap;
the bag may be re-used for a non-food item), changed use of the product in
response to a current fashion, advertising campaign etc. Once again, the list is
seemingly endless.
The third step is to examine the service the customers require. This relates to
volumes of product, its price, its time of delivery (morning, evening), regularity
(daily, weekly) and system of delivery, (ie in bulk, retail packs, ready to cook,
returnable containers etc), its type of pack (easy to open), its type of labelling
and so on.
For the fourth step, the potential entrant to the market needs to know where
the poultry is sold successfully and unsuccessfully, what competition there is for
the product, what margins are available, who are the main participants in the
market (wholesalers, middle men etc). This may be made easier if a diagram is
drawn to show how the market operates.
Finally, the market research seemingly completed, the information must be
analysed with a view to finding a niche which the supplier can fill. This is one of
the most difficult stages and the one on which the venture will be sustained or
not. There are no answers which can be given in a book. If there were, the
niche would be filled by someone else, making the advice appear dated very
quickly. To make matters more complicated, the new venture may be subjected
to competition. The entrepreneur will need to continue to keep an eye on the
market and change his practices to keep ahead of the competition. His research
and analysis should never stop. A successful market is built on information.

Phone: +91-9871203111 Email: md@innovistaconsulting.com
Decision making
The first decision is to accept the results of the analysis and chose the niche to
be filled. This may be a circular process in that the niche identified may be so
impractical to fill that it will be necessary to return to the analysis of the market
research data. For example, it may be very profitable to supply a naval vessel
with 3000 tonnes of poultry every six months. If the cold storage to hold the
product for the production period while awaiting the irregular schedule of the
ship was inadequate, however, the enterprise would not be practical.
The next move is to plan and integrate all the inputs, production and supply
(both to and from), production scheduling, labour materials, services, transport
etc. It may be a good idea to write down the proposed marketing chain in a
graphic form to see where the difficulties lie.
Having found the niche, the venture should be costed. The costs may depend on
the route chosen for the supply or production volumes. For example, it may be
cheaper to combine forces with another supplier and contract a trasport
company to get the poultry to market rather than buy and use a company
vehicle. Whatever system is chosen it should be a practical way forward, the
least complicated and one to give maximum returns or profit. it is well to
remember that to halve the profit margin (thereby reducing the cost to the
buyer) and treble the supply will bring in greater returns than not changing
pricing structure. It is also well to remember that if the supplier does not have
the production capacity to meet the market requirement, the order may go to a
supplier who can. Other aspects of costings must be taken into account. For
example, the cost of special packaging, special equipment which may need to
be purchased, extra costs for processing labour (eg cutting to a different
specification). The cost of borrowing capital must also be included.
Implementation may require the services/skills and business of partners. This
may be a bank, finance company, transport company, cold storage complex,
poultry supplier, wholesaler, retailer etc. These must be chosen with care. A
small transport company with low tariffs will be of no use if the driver is
consistently late for collection of the poultry from the abattoir if it must be
delivered to the shop at exactly 0800. To co-operate with the big transporter
who charges more but gives a reliable service may be better than another
concern which offers a higher margin but risks losing the business altogether.
7. The Marketing Solutions Provider

Phone: +91-9871203111 Email: md@innovistaconsulting.com
It may be advisable to form a co-operative with other suppliers or from
contracts with specialist markets to supply fixed quantity, quality and priced
goods on a regular basis. These markets must be supplied to contract, which
usually state the exact time, date, quantity, quality etc and expect a continuity
of supply. To fail on the contract may invoke penalties. The supplier must be
confident of fulfilling his side of the contract. Needless to say, a poultry
processor in contract with a hotel, say, would also have a contract with a
poultry producer who would also be expected to supply the stated quantity,
quality etc to time.
Some buyers demand a particular product prepared to their unique specification
as part of a contract. They may contract that the specification must not be
divulged to another party or used if the contract is broken later. The buyers
may also expect to visit the factory and make recommendations about its
condition, inspection etc. There is no harm in this. Beware, however, the buyer
who wants a considerable volume of the factory output. if the factory gears up
to meet the contract and the buyer defaults, the owner may have lost a lot of
his investment and produce more than he is able to sell elsewhere. The buyer
may return to demand a much lower price based on the weakness of the
situation.
Every time a change in system is proposed there will almost certainly be cost
implications. The proposal will need to be recosted time and again until the best
system is found.
Finally, it may be desirable to test a market before making contracts with
suppliers and buyers with untested goods or services. This is a perfectly
acceptable way forward if handled properly.

Implementation of decision
This is the moment of truth. All the decisions are made, the way forward
determined, the contacts made and happy, perhaps the contracts cast in legal
stone. There only remains general advice:
The product should be right in terms of quality, quantity, packaging, price,
temperature, time and so on. In other words, the contract to the market,
whether written or moral, should be fulfilled.
