Preventive Maintenance for Mechanized Poultry Operations was presented by Mr. Vinay Kelkar at Hyderabad International Convention Center, Novotel

1. Mr Vinay Kelkar
Preventive Maintenance Or TPM
Total Productive Maintenance
A stitch in time saves nine

2. What is Preventive maintenance
Preventive maintenance is
Systematic inspection, detection, correction and
prevention of likely failures
to
avoid any unexpected , major and expensive failures
of critical equipment and machines (in terms of cost
& time)

3. Why Preventive maintenance
Restoring the basic condition
Extending the life and reliability of
equipment
Avoiding forced degradation
Avoiding unexpected and expensive failures
Reduced cost of maintenance
Achieving higher productivity
Achieving better output quality

4. Why Preventive maintenance
• Restoring the basic condition
• Extending the life and reliability of equipment
• Avoiding forced degradation
• Avoiding unexpected and expensive failures
• Reduced cost of maintenance
• Achieving higher productivity
• Achieving better output quality

5. FDA requirements
Preventive maintenance of equipment and calibration of instruments
are good essential practices for cost, quality, time saving etc.
It is also essential from the GMP/GAP (Good manufacturing practices,
Good Agricultural Practices) which are compulsory to meet FDA
regulations applicable to Poultry industry.

6. Today’s market scenario
For any product
• Raw material/ input cost are going up
• Operating cost are going up and
• Finished product selling prices are becoming more and
competitive
• consumer is demanding more/better for less price
• Profit margins are getting squeezed
• Producer have no control over input material cost or final
product pricing

7. Issues in Poultry Industry (Hatcheries,
Layers/Broiler farms, processing plants)
• Controlling diseases and mortality
• Maintaining feed efficiency,
• Proper handling of wastes
• Proper sanitizing of the poultry house
• Maintaining quality of processed products
• Remaining cost competitive and profitable

8. Transformation happening
• Automatic feeding, watering, egg collection, environment control, litter/waste
handling and processing, automated feed manufacturing systems, sprayers,
weighing scales, fans, coolers, refrigerators, incubators, hatchers, feed mills,
hammer mills, batch mixers, feed storage systems/cellos, conveyors for feed,
litter conveyors are becoming need of hour due to labour shortages,
productivity issues, quality issues, cost issues as well as FDA guidelines and
rules.
• These are technologically advanced equipment with programmable and remote
control systems having huge benefits on long term.
• Preventive or productive maintenance of such equipment becomes very
essential considering the investments made and it pays back handsomely.

9. To sustain profits producer needs to cut down operating
expenses / OPEX without compromising quality of the final
product
Major components of operating Expenses
Inputs
Energy
Manpower
Maintenance
Logistics

10. Key parameters effecting OPEX in Poultry industry
• Economy conversion ratio (ECR)
• Mortality
• Feed conversion ratio (FCR)
• Other major operating expenses
• Manpower cost
• Utilities (Energy, water, ventilation etc.,) cost
• Maintenance cost
• Logistics
... Can be reduced /controlled using Preventive maintenance

11. Mortality
• Mortality is end consequence / result but not the
reason
• Mortality in India is ~ 10% , bench mark is < 5 %
( 100% higher)
• Main reasons for mortality or less FCR could be
• Poor feed quality or quantity
• Diseases not controlled
• Hygienic conditions
• Cleaning and cleanliness
• Odour due to poor air quality
• Environmental control
... Can be reduced /controlled using Preventive maintenance

12. Mortality is the final event which occurs due to the combination of many invisible problems.
Latent problems are normally neglected or ignored.
Mortality is the consequence…
Poor feed quality
Cleaning and cleanliness
... Can be reduced /controlled using Preventive maintenance

13. Human body (Me) Machine
Goal of TPM Keep the body healthy & fully efficient
all the time
Keep the machine fully efficient &
without problems
Break Down
Maintenance
Heart attack, Illness like Pneumonia,
Jaundice, chickengunia?
Breaking of part, Compressor
seizure sudden stoppage due to
malfunction etc.
Preventive
Maintenance
Inoculation, Regular check-ups like BP,
Sugar. Modify food habits to avoid total
break down
Regular inspection Periodic change
of parts etc.
TPM * Habit of cleanliness
* Proper diet & exercise from beginning
* Avoiding bad habits like smoking
* Keeping close watch on our body &
taking immediate countermeasures.
* Housekeeping
* Regular lubrication
* Proper operation of
machine
* Close watch on M/C & taking
immediate actions if any
abnormality is noticed
TPM & Me

14. Financial Impact of PM on Mortality
• Assuming a farm with 1 Lakh birds
• Mortality is 10,000 birds in a year ( 10%)
• Loss is Rs 16 Lakhs
• (10,000birds * x 2.5Kg/bird * 65 Rs/ kg)
• Mortality can be reduced by2.5% ( ie., 2,500 birds)with good & simple
preventive maintenance practices
• Possible gain with PM will Rs 4 Lakhs
• (2,500birds * x 2.5Kg/bird * 65 Rs/ kg)

15. Economy conversion ratio(ECR)
• Feed conversion ratio (FCR)
• Other operating expenses
• Manpower cost
• Utilities (Energy, water, ventilation etc.,) cost
• Maintenance cost
• Logistics

16. Feed conversion ratio(FCR)
Field average of FCR for broiler is
~ 1.75 (Industry standard is 1.6)
and
Field average of FCR for egg production is
135 gm (Industry standard is 125 gm)
Both are ~ 8 % higher and industry standard

17. Reasons for Low FCR
• Rearing conditions
• Ventilation
• Water
• Litter
• Health issues
• Cleaning and cleanliness
• Damaged eggs
• Jerks in equipment
• Damaged parts
• Wastage of feed
... Can be reduced /controlled using Preventive maintenance

18. Other operating expenses
• Manpower cost
• Manpower for Cleaning of eggs
• Manpower for cleaning due to lack of maintenance
• Utilities (Energy, water, ventilation etc.,) cost
• Clogged cooling pads
• Poor maintenance or lack of maintenance of equipment
• Loose Fan belts
• Energy inefficient lighting system
• Non insulated roofs
• Dripping water
• Maintenance cost
• Spares
• Service
... Can be reduced /controlled using Preventive maintenance

19. Actions as part of prevention
• lubricating with correct lubricants, changing oil and filters, replacing
worn out parts, tightening loose bolts, screws, nuts adjusting
tension and alignment of conveyor belts, drive chains, pulleys and
belts. Checking electrical / electronic controls
• Inspect equipment for potential problems such as leakages, cracked
or pitted surfaces and leaking oil.
• Maintaining cleanliness (all around & equipment)
• Using correct tools for all such activities
• Ensuring availability of correct tools and spares

20. Cooling Pads
Clogged
cooling Pad
Good cooling Pad
Good practice to
protect from
clogging

21. Poor maintenance

22. Poor maintenance Vs Good maintenance
lack of
maintenance
Good
maintenance

23. Lack of Cleaning &
inefficient Lighting
Clean Shed with proper
lighting
Poor maintenance Vs Good maintenance

24. Poor maintenance Vs Good maintenance
Lack of maintenance Good maintenance

25. Realistic targets achievable with Preventive or
productive maintenance in 3 years
• Reduction of mortality by 50 %
• Improving FCR by 8 to 10%
• Reduction in operating expenses by10 to 15 %
• Reduction of breakdowns ( frequency & time) - 50 to 70 %
• Reduction of maintenance cost – 20 to 30%
• Capital equipment life - 200 %

26. Improving Preventive maintenance
• Man (training and retraining)
• Machine (Equipment) like Feed systems, water dispensers,
incubators, stacked cages, conveyors, environment control
equipment, fans/ventilators, feed plants, etc
• Materials ( Spares, tools )
• Methods (SOPs, Visual Management,
• Check list)

33. Check list example
Check list helps in easy monitoring , data collection, problem identification

34. Measurement (5th M)
• For any improvement measurement is must
• Examples of measurements
• Mortality
• Cleaning time
• Spares and maintenance cost per lakh birds
• Equipment downtime analysis/costs.,
• Define and set KPIs
