2. About the Project

2.1. Poultry Feed Making Unit

Poultry farming is the fastest-growing livestock sector in India. Poultry feed is the feedstock
that is used for feeding the poultry for improving growth rate, obtaining high quality, and
reduced mortality rate. The poultry feedstock is of different types depending on the finished
product that is eggs or meat. Nowadays, the use of Poultry feedstock is found in almost every
poultry farm, due to its cost-effectiveness and desirable results. As farming became more
specialized, many farms kept flocks too large to be fed in this way, and nutritionally complete
poultry feed were developed. Modern feeds for poultry consists largely of grain, protein
supplements such as soybean oil meal, mineral supplements, and vitamin supplements. The
quantity of feed, and the nutritional requirements of the feed, depend on the weight and age of
the poultry, their rate of growth, their rate of egg production, the weather (cold or wet weather
causes higher energy expenditure), and the amount of nutrition the poultry obtain from foraging.
The feed must remain clean and dry contaminated feed can infect poultry.

2.2. Raw Material Requirements

Major raw materials are as follows:

Grinded maize, Wheat offal, Maize offal, Groundnut cake meal, soybean meal, Fish meal,
Soybean cake, Bone meal, L-lysine, Table salt Vitamin premix etc.
Gunny bags, plastics bag etc. required for packaging of feed material.

2.3.Technology
IIFPT has all the advanced technical know on poultry feed making unit with respect to
specific parameters’ for getting good quality standards. These technologies are available
through consultancy.

2.4. Market Demand and Supply

The market of poultry feed is a part of the vast animal feed market and it makes a major part of
it as poultry is invariably consumed all over the world. By 2023, the global poultry feed industry
is forecast to account for USD 157,715.1 million, from 2019 to 2023 CAGR of 6.9 percent is
4
expected. The Indian poultry feed industry, dependent on the sound growth of poultry has a
great untapped potential, with southern part of India holding the maximum share of poultry
production and consumption. Poultry feedstock is almost used in every poultry farm owing to its
cost effective and desired results. However, with the advent of globalization and rise in the
standard of living of consumers, companies are expanding in the emerging markets of the world
with improved products and wide range of options for each animal group. Poultry meat is the
highest among others such as pork, beef and fish meat. Therefore, vast opportunity lies in the
poultry feed segment.

2.5. Marketing Strategy

The increase in agricultural activities all over the world and in India especially the scope of
poultry feed is very wide and good quality of feed will attract more customers and demands.
Urban organized platforms such as departmental stores, malls, super markets can be attractive
platforms to sell well packaged poultry feed. Processors can through different social
advertisement techniques can built more demand for their product and can expand their
business activities at initial as well as at subsequent level.

2.6. Manufacturing Process

 The different feed ingredients are taken in a batch mixer from the raw material storage
godown in accordance with feed formulation.
 After mixing all raw materials is ground to a uniform particle size of 1 mm. The ground
material is further mixed.
 The material used in feed formulation in similar quantities such as vitamins, minerals, urea,
calcite powder, common salt, etc. are mixed in ribbon mixture using proper diluents and
storage in one of the storage bin
 Ground material and molasses are mixed simultaneously in a twin-screw type mixture.
Usually, molasses are added at the rate of 10% in the poultry feed.
 Molassed feed is mixed with the dry steam before pelleting.
 Steam acts as a conditioner to the feed and it helped to killing some pathogens.
 The temperature of steam feed is in the range of 75 to 80 degrees centigrade.

5
 Now, the steamed feed is converted to pallets by pressing it through a cylindrical die and
press roller.
 Usually, 2 mm die used for is used for the production of pelleted feed for poultry.
 Pelleted feat thus produce is passed through pellet cooler before packaging in HDPR or
gunny bags.

3. Limitations of the Model DPR and Guidelines for Entrepreneurs

3.1. Limitations of the Model DPR

i. This model DPR has provided only the basic standard components and methodology to be
adopted by an entrepreneur while submitting a proposal under the Formalization of Micro Food
Processing Enterprises Scheme of MoFPI.

ii. This is a model DPR made to provide general methodological structure not for specific
entrepreneur/crops/location. Therefore, information on the entrepreneur, forms and structure
(proprietorship/partnership/cooperative/ FPC/joint stock company) of his business, details of
proposed DPR, project location, raw material base/contract sourcing, entrepreneurs own SWOT
analysis, detailed market research, rationale of the project for specific location, community
advantage/benefit from the project, employment generation and many more detailed aspects not
included.

iii. The present DPR is based on certain assumptions on cost, prices, interest, capacity
utilization, output recovery rate and so on. However, these assumptions in reality may vary
across places, markets and situations; thus the resultant calculations will also change
accordingly.

iv. This particular DPR is made on three components of means of finance i.e. grant, owner’s
contribution and loan/debt as followed in many central sector schemes. However, if the DPR is
for credit linked subsidy then the calculation may slightly change without changes in the general
structure and methodology adopted in the DPR.

3.2. Guidelines for the Entrepreneurs

i. The success of any prospective food processing project depends on how closer the
assumptions made in the initial stage are with the reality of the targeted
market/place/situation. Therefore, the entrepreneurs must do its homework as realistic as
possible on the assumed parameters.
ii. This model DPR must be made more comprehensive by the entrepreneur by including
information on the entrepreneur, forms and structure (proprietorship/partnership/cooperative/
FPC/joint stock company) of entrepreneur’s business, project location, raw material
base/contract sourcing, entrepreneurs own SWOT analysis, detailed market research,
comprehensive dehydrated product mix based on demand, rationale of the project for specific
location, community advantage/benefit from the project, employment generation,
production/availability of the raw materials/crops in the targeted area/clusters and many more
relevant aspects for acceptance and approval of the competent authority.

iii. The entrepreneur must be efficient in managing the strategic, financial, operational,
material and marketing aspects of a business. In spite of the assumed parameter being
closely realistic, a project may become unsustainable if the entrepreneur does not possess
the required efficiency in managing different aspects of the business and respond
effectively in changing situations.

iv. The machineries should be purchased after thorough market research and satisfactory
demonstration.

v. The entrepreneur must ensure uninterrupted quality raw materials’ supply and maintain
optimum inventory levels for uninterrupted operations management.

vi. The entrepreneur must possess a strategic look to steer the business in upward trajectory.

vii. The entrepreneur must maintain optimum (not more or less) inventory, current assets.
Selecting optimum source of finance, not too high debt-equity ratio, proper capital
budgeting and judicious utilization of surplus profit for expansion is must.

viii. The entrepreneur must explore prospective markets through extensive research, find
innovative marketing strategy, and maintain quality, adjust product mix to demand.

ix. The entrepreneur must provide required documents on land, financial transaction, balance
sheet, further project analysis as required by the competent authority for approval.

x. The entrepreneur must be hopeful and remain positive in attitude.
