Chapter I

INTRODUCTION

Livestock farming is one of the most common and most in demand business

in the Philippines today. The livestock sector is made up of farmers, the processing

industry and buyers. They must themselves find ways to make livestock production

more sustainable. Supermarkets and other retailers have a decisive role to play.

Demand from shops for sustainable products is rising, and this is leading more

farmers to produce sustainably. It requires knowledge and skills in order to

succeed in this field. Thus, interest, capital, ability to manage the project and the

demand for the product in the locality is taken into consideration. One of the

livestock raising industry is poultry. It can be specialized into egg production,

chicken breeding, and raising broilers for meat production. It has been a popular

and lucrative job due to the increasing demand from the emerging business and

increasing population.

This feasibility project is primarily focused on the poultry production

specifically the 45 day broiler meat production. This business, the Call-Me-Chix

Poultry Business, will be engaged in raising and selling good quality dressed

chicken and its by-products such as intestine, liver, feet, head, neck and gizzard.

It will serve the demand of poultry meat in General Nakar and its neighboring town

which is Infanta. It’s main target are the restaurants, canteens at the two towns.

And if possible, in the near future we will also be the supplier at the newly founded

branch of Jollibee in Infanta, Quezon.

SUMMARY OF THE STUDY

NAME OF THE FIRM

The Proposed Project Name is “Call-Me-Chix Poultry”. The proponents had came

up to this name because the owner’s last name is Calleja and the products are

remember that’s why it became “Call-Me-Chix”.

LOCATION OF THE BUSINESS

The Poultry Farm will be located at the Minahan Norte, General Nakar, Quezon. It

has an easy access to transportation, electricity and water supply. In this place,

the water is free so it will be a big help for the owner in terms of saving. There is a

built-in well in the site which can be used in maintaining the cleanliness of the

poultry farm. The location is surrounded by the trees which helps the chickens

avoid stress which is cause of too much heat of sun. The location is also near to

schools, event venues, resorts and restaurants.

Light

In the first week, the chicks will be given enough light to enable them to keep

eating. For the first three (3) days, flocks are usually expose 23 hours of light and

one hour of darkness to allow for adjustment to their surroundings and for finding

feed and water. The hour of darkness adapts the flock to darkness and prevents

later piling in case of electrical failure. Light duration is then controlled from day

four to five or six weeks, depending on target weight and duration of grow out.

modernized. In respect to its organization and management aspect it shows sign

of positivity. The proponent’s interest is in the field of business, thus, it is a sign

that she can handle the proposed business well. The business will be easily

managed and supervised by the owner since she will only hire three workers to

help him in the daily operation of the business. The financial aspect also shows a

positive result, the first five years of operation is expected to generate enough

revenue to cover all the expenses incurred and at the same time generate profit

for the owner. The proposed business will be able to fully return the initial

investment within 2.61 years. To sum it all, based on the analysis and the results

of the data gathered, putting up Call-Me-Chix Poultry in General Nakar, Quezon is

favorable.

23
RECOMMENDATION

The researcher of this feasibility study recommends that the business can opt to

use a credit system in the sales transaction, in addition to the cash basis system

currently used. Moreover, if the business becomes profitable and the proponent

wants to continue the operations of the business after five years, she can decide

to reconstruct the building from using light materials into concrete in order that the

structure will be usable for a longer period and for a more efficient and suitable

place for operation. Lastly, as the business grows, the manager can hire

employees in addition to the existing staff for a more effective operation. These

include the operational staff and caretaker/maintenance.
