How to start poultry business in the Philippines? poultry raising in the Philippines can be a lucrative business specially the third quarter of the year we have a low supply of chicken meat and eggs. But before starting one it is important to consider the place where you want to start one since chicken manure can be a health hazard to our neighbors. Below is a good resource for taking care of chicks and egg layers if you are considering this kind of business. You could have so many eggs and chickens on your hands that you’d have to take a cooking class to know what to do with all of it. But if you have no time for cooking, you can concentrate on poultry raising. The resource is a valuable info especially the cost chicken feeds which might not have a good return of investment. You can use other raw materials which you might find plenty in your area like water lilies,water melon rind, banana peel, rabbit manure or seaweeds.
CARE OF BIRDS & FOWL IN HOT WEATHER
Birds and fowls are more suited to cold than to hot weather. They lay more eggs in cold weather because they are not stressed. Fowls do not perspire but they pant for breath and need much drinking water in hot weather. So that they will lay more eggs, do not leave them under the heat of the sun; if they are allowed to roam about, let them seek shade. Give them wet food and crushed shells during very hot weather.

CARE OF CHICKS
The first week in newly hatched chicks is important. It is here that the health of the fowl depends, to give it good price. These first seven days is 15% of the growth and life of a growing chick. In the natural way, the mother hen teaches the chicks, as they go about together, how to cackle, or squawk and the young ones learn to hunt for food and avoid enemies (oppressors). The mother hen also provides her chicks with heat under her wings. But in raising chicks in numbers, these opportunities are wanting. They learn in life individually. Thus, it is necessary to provide the chicks with the right temperature, light and air, and right number in their coop.
1. Coop temperature
Chicks temperature is 38.6°C and becomes 40.5°C in 7 days. The feathers that provide heat to their bodies are still few. Thus, many chicks die of cold within the first seven days. The coop temperature must be 31°C-35°C in the first day. This is lowered by 3°C at the end of the first week. After this, temperature must be maintained at 21°C-24°C . When the temperature of the coop is not right, the chicks will not approach their food or drink within 5-7 days, so many chicks die of hunger and weakness when they are cold. When the coop temperature is right, the chicks are lively in the first 2 or 3 days; they pick up things that attract them like bright stones or colorful grains and they preen their feathers or swim in the soil. When the coop temperature is not adequate, they cling close to one another, chirp loudly and endlessly and refuse to move.
2. Light
In the first week, give the chickens light to enable them to keep eating. After this, familiarize them for a period of an hour without light so that they will not suffer shock when power is out. If they will not learn to eat in the dark, they will not grow fast. They will not grow quickly with mere 8 hours light and 16 hours dark.
3. Flow of Air
Airflow in the coop must be adequate enough to remove the stench of their manure. Strong wind however will make them feel cold.
4. Chick Population
Do not overpopulate the chicks in the coop. They should be just enough so as to allow free circulation of air.
5. Loss of Heat
When the chicks are clustered together, heat is not lost. The size of the coop should grow as the chicks grow. In this way, the right temperature is maintained.
6. Drinking Water
Chicks easily get thirsty, especially in hot weather. If they do not drink enough, they will not eat enough, and so will not have energy in their bodies. As such, they will chill, which could cause their death.
Drinking bowls should be numerous so that they will quickly learn to drink. These should also be in bright places so they can be easily found and accessible to approach.
Chicks that drink before eating easily gain weight.

CHICKEN
Instead of providing more ventilation or cooling devices in chicken coops during hot weather, give more fat in their meals instead of pure corn so as to cool their bodies. Chicken given fat gain weight more quickly than those given pure carbohydrates (corn) only.

AMMONIA – TOXIC FOR CHICKS
Like children, growing chicks easily get infected with disease. In coops where they are reared, respiratory sicknesses are common when they are crowded and ventilation is poor. This is because of ammonia, a gas that is emitted by the decaying feces of the chicks. When the chicks are crowded, feces get accumulated and with this, together with moisture, the strength of ammonia increases, especially when ventilation is poor. According to experts, experienced chicken raisers know when the number of chicks has reached a certain level that makes ammonia no longer bearable for the chicken. In such condition, ammonia lowers the weight of the chicken. The fowls lose appetite, their lungs weaken, and become vulnerable to respiratory diseases. Because of this, it is not good to allow feces to accumulate, and it is necessary to widen ventilation windows.

GOOD LAYERS
Layers will lay eggs regularly if they are kept away from noise and disturbances. The effect of noise and disturbances on 4,000 layers was studied by four scientists from the University of Zagreb, Yugoslavia. When a strong electric bell was sounded, the number of eggs laid was decreased; when a stronger sound, the firemans siren was sounded, decrease in eggs laid was bigger. When the 2 sounds – bell or siren were simultaneously sounded, the hens, struck with fear, tried to see the source of the noise. Not one laid egg. In this event, 240 out of 4,000 (6%) died, 480 (9%) did not lay eggs; 3,720 (93%) suffered obstetrical defects, 1,640 (41%) got indigestion problems and 360 (9%) got respiratory sicknesses.
Source: Phil. Farmers Journal Sept 1978
POOR LAYERS
Poor layers cost food and space, and so should be removed. The marks of a poor layer are:
a. The comb is pale, dry and withdrawn at the top and below the throat.
b. The eyes are dim.
c. The hen is thin and inactive.
d. The appetite is poor, and the maw or crop is empty.
e. Yellow color surrounds the eyes, legs and bill. A good layer has no such color.
f. The hips are hard, thick and narrow (at 2 fingers wide).
g. The rear (rectum) is yellow, small and shrunken.
h. The body is shallow, narrow and short.
Source: PCARRD Farmnews, March 1984
GATHERING OF EGGS
1. Gather the eggs 3 times a day or more in hot weather. Eggs easily spoil in a warm surrounding.
2. Put the eggs in a basket or container.
3. Sort the eggs according to size.
4. Wipe off dirt or stains before storing.
5. Keep in a cool and well ventilated place.
6. Always keep the containers clean so as not to stain the eggs.
7. Cool off the containers first (if warm) before putting in the eggs.
8. Sell or dispose the eggs 2 times a week or more often so as to retain only the most freshly laid ones.
Source: PCARRD Farmnews March 1984
SALT: INCREASES EGG LAYING
The sodium content of salt is necessary for egg laying. But this element is not provided in commercial feeds because it will increase the cost. To enable the hen to produce well, mix 200 gms of salt for every 2 sacks of feed. It has been observed by researchers that chickens lay eggs 29% short when their feed lacks salt.
Source: PCARRD Farmnews Mar-Apr 1986
LIGHT FOR GOOD EGG LAYING
Light is important in the setting up of a coop for layers. It has much to do in the maturation of the growing layers and their capability to lay plenty.
The rules are:
1. Do not increase lighting in the coop of growing layers. This hastens their maturity and it makes them start laying eggs even while very young, but the eggs are small.
2. If the layers are already laying eggs, do not decrease lighting. It has effect on the hormones of the layer — either activate or suppress them.
3. So it is suggested that from 4 to 20 weeks of a growing layer, the length of sunlight is 13 hours, if possible 14-16 hours a day.
A 50-watt bulb is adequate for a 25 sq.m. coop. The ceiling where it will hang is from 2.4″-2.7″ (inches).
Source: PCARRD Farmnews Mar 1984
STRONG EGG SHELLS
According to studies in the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada, a laying hen given Vitamin D when feed bears stronger egg shells than those not given Vitamin D. Several groups of layers were given different doses of Vitamin D3 (calciferol, derived from the fish liver oil). Those not given with the vitamin laid less eggs, and their shells easily broke. After 4 weeks, their egg laying decreased by 30%, and either with thin shells or without shell. But those given Vitamin D3 in their diet laid normal eggs with strong shells. Those given 125 units Vitamin D3 only, also laid equal number of eggs as those given 500 units, but the eggs were not normal in shape and the shells were not strong.
Source: Phil. Farmers Journal
USES OF EGG SHELLS
According to researchers from Brent School, Baguio City, egg shells have certain uses that are not benefited from, such as:
– Fertilizer — egg shells contain calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and sulfur. When applied on cabbage plants, the leaves became wider, greener and the heads bigger.
– Cement — although it does not dry easily, cement from egg shells are smooth binder for bricks in the following proportions:
1 part cement
2 parts crushed egg shells
– Paste — strengthens paste when mixed with starch.

FEED FOR CHICKEN
1. Watermelon rind
Researchers at UP Los Baños fed watermelon rind to chickens for 6 months. These were compared to chicken given ordinary commercial feed. They observed that commercial feeds can be replaced with watermelon rind up to 20%.
Method:
a. Boil the rind until cooked.
b. Dry in the sun.
c. Grind and mix with ordinary feed.
Source: Phil. Farmers Journal Nov 1981
2. Sunflower Seeds
Researchers in India tried feeding 18% up to 26% protein (from the resulting cakes after oil has been extracted from the sunflower seeds) to growing chickens aging up to 70 days. These grew faster and consumed more feeds than those not given sunflower cakes. They also observed that feeding the chickens with seed coats did not cause any harm.
Source: Phil. Farmers Journal March 1981
3. Tobacco Seeds
In places where tobacco is widely planted, farmers know that every plant can yield about 30 grams. To save on feeds, researchers tried replacing 20% of the feeds with tobacco seeds. Nothing adverse was observed in the chicken, neither in taste nor in shape.
Tobacco seeds contain: 20% protein (38% if newly harvested), 15% crude fiber and 4% carbohydrates.
Source: PCARRD Monitor June 1989
4. Banana Leaves
According to researchers in Southern Mindanao Agricultural Research in Kabacan, North Cotabato, broilers fed with 5% chopped banana leaves gained weight almost 1-1/2 kilos more than those fed with commercial starter mash ration or with 10% added banana leaves.
Source: Phil. Farmers Journal June 1982
5. Banana Peels
Method:
a. Chop fine raw saba peels.
b. Boil for one hour, drain and cool.
c. For every kilo of dried banana peel, add:
150 gms dried chicken manure
100 gms rice bran (darak)
d. Mix well and dry in the sun.
e. Pulverize further up to about 1 mm sieve
This can be mixed up to 15% commercial broiler starter mash and finisher mash.
Example: 850 gm commercial mash
150 gm banana peel and added mixture
1 kilo
For broiler feed, ration diet is starter mash from day 1 to day 42, and finisher mash from 42-49 days.
Chickens fed 25% with this in 56 days made no difference in weight with those fed with 100% corn.
Source: Completed R&D Projects (ISN 297) STII-DOST
6. Rabbit Manure
According to British Poultry Science Report (1981), for every kilo of broiler feed, 100-200 gm dried rabbit manure can be added. Dried rabbit manure according to their research, contains 18.8% raw protein, 9% water, and 19.9% MJ energy in every kilo.
7. Seaweeds
Two kinds of brown algae can be mixed with the chicken feed in the following way:
a) dry algae in the sun until dry
b) pulverize and add to the feed at 5% amount.
Every kilo of algae is 20 gms powder that contains:
8.76% raw protein
7.76% raw fiber
36.67% ash and
46.26% free nitrogen extract
Every kilo of this contains 2,452 calories.
Source: Technological Information Pilot System AgriBo 62/1 May 25, 1989 Mexico
8. Water Lily
According to UPLB Researchers, water lily is rich in protein making it suitable as feed for chicken.
Procedure:
1. Pulverize (grind) water lily leaves
2. Mix the greenish paste-like substance with water and stir well to dissolve protein.
3. Screen the mixture to separate fibers.
4. Heat the liquid to 80oC to coagulate protein components, dry and pulverize.
The result is the water hyacinth leaf protein concentrate (WHLPC) which is an excellent substitute to ¼ soybean meals as feed for chicks aged 1-40 days-old. WHLPC is also rich in calcium and potassium and contains 35% raw protein with 11% roughage. WLHPC, although do not necessarily aid in growing chicks, it lessens the cost of feeding. It also lessens the risks of flooding due to clogging of waterlines as well as oxygen depletion in water bodies.
Source: Phil. Farmers Journal, August 1980
Control Flies in the Chicken Coop
1. Dissolve Erythrocin B. in water. (This is a food color so it is harmless to humans).
2. Spray this solution on the chicken manure. When the flies alight or the manure, their legs get the erythrocin. When they get exposed to sunlight, they die in a few minutes. Erythrocin B in the flies, when exposed to sunlight, creates a kind of oxygen that is poison to them — whether they are still in the larval stage or already hatched flies. Erythrocin is safe in the environment because this stays only for two hours in water, when under direct sunlight. However, in the chicken manure, about 80% of this dye lasts for about a week.
Source: Phil. Farmers Journal July 1982
SOAP POWDER FOR CHICKEN
According to farmers with long experience in chicken raising, mixing powder soap with the feed increases the weight of the chicken more than does the adding of feed. This is because detergent aids in the process of digestion in the chicken, reduces fat, and suppresses some parasites in the intestinal tract. The amount is: 2 grams Tide (or powdered detergent) for every kilo broiler mash feed.

Hi sir. Where do you live here in Eastern Samar I would like to start my business culturing layers or broiler and finding out where I could buy they I’m wandering if you already started your business with chicken would like to buy some few heads of chicks?
On the island of Panay, in the province of Antique in Valderrama, and surrounding areas. I feel that would be a ideal area for poultry production! The people already have a mind set on that type of work, and w/automation it would be excellent. This should be further discussed!

is that ok, my chicken are white leghorn,, is that ok if i will take them a 45 days medicine?…
Hello po Sir Manuel,

Thanks po and God Bless..
Hello po Sir Manuel,
Mayron po akong 213 heads na chicken layer po.nag umpisa po na pong mangitlog nung Dec.kaso nga lang po maliit pa po ang itlog ano po ang mabisang Vitamins ang gagamitin ko po?at gusto ko pong malaman ang feeding and lighting guide?25 weeks na po ang manok ko po? Thanks po and God Bless.. Venus Fermilan
ng Surigao city..
@venus fermilan
Sa palagay ko bata pa kasi yung mga manok. Sabi mo nga nag-umpisa sila mangitlog nung dec kaso maliit yun ay dahil medyo bata pa. Maybe in the next few months they will lay bigger eggs. Also, there is an effect on the weather or climate. When its too hot they will lay smaller eggs. Dapat medyo presko ang mga manok at di naiinitan at dapat may proper ventilation.
mam/sir.may product po ako na NOBAC at NOFLY! makakatulong po eto para maibsan ang problema sa amonia, amoy,at thesame time po disenfectant po eto!plant enzyme po very safe sa manok at baboy !mas ok po eto sa mga tunnel vent building!pinapatay po nito ang itlog ng langaw!nofly naman po pamatay ng langaw!mas mura po sa branded ng 50%. pls contact me for delivery!09227254044!
Meri x mas Sir, Salamat po sa tip sa pag elega ng manok. Mabuhay po kayo…
Sir, ask ko lang po kung ano ang tamang kulungan para sa aking mga alagang manok… kasi po, marami sa mga sisiw ko namamatay…

sir,
ask ko na rin po sana kung magkano po ang cost ng vaccination para sa mga layers po…at kung ilang beses dapat sila turukan sa isang taon po… saka sir gusto ko rin po sana itanong sa inyo kung ilang buwan po ba usual na nangingitlog ang layers po bago i-cull po..yong usual months or years po, magmula po noong maging layers po sila? thanks po ulet sir..
Good day po..
@arianne
Usuallt alam ng suppliers or feed stores kung ilang beses i-va-vaccinate yung mga layers mo. Mas alam nila yun. Yung tanong mo naman na kung ilang buwan bago i-cull yung mga layers, eh ikaw rin makakasagot niyan dahil malalaman mo kung mahina na ang production ng eggs ang mga manok at kung hindi na profitable dahil nga sa cost ng feeds. Kasi depende yan sa health, feeds, environment ng mga layers bago humina ang egg production.
sir manuel,
thanks po sa message ninyo po..opo malapit nga po kami sa dagat po..cge po gagawin ko yang sinasabi nyo po..salamat po ng marami..
Hi Sir Manuel, I have read your topic regarding poultry. Thanks po for sharing.
@Romer, nkakita ka na ba ng Erythrocin B, naghahanap din kasi ako.Thanks.
sir,
ask ko lang po sana kung gaano po katagal bago po mabulok ang kawayan kung sakali man po na iyon po ang gawin na tirahan po ng layers. saka ok lang po ba na gumamit ng pintura po sa kulungan ng layers po? kasi naisip ko po na preservatives po ng kahoy ang pintura..di po kaya makaapekto po sa manok kung sakali man po na pinturahn po ang kulungan?,,,sounds crazy po ba? pero gusto ko lang po sana itanong kung possible po yon?..thanks po sir..
@arianne
Kung malapit ka sa dagat ay pwedeng gawing preservative ang tubig alat. Binababad iyong kawayan sa tubig dagat para hindi mabulok agad. Yung mga kawayan na galing sa fish pen ay ginagamit din kasi katagal mabulok at anayin. kung pipinturahan mo naman ay wala namang epekto yun basta tuyo na ang pintura bago mo ilagay yung mga manok mo.
sir noel,
thank you po sa information na binigay ninyo. sa totoo po ngayon ko lang nabasa po ang comment. salamat pa rin dahil gusto ko po sa na tlga magkaroon ng sariling business na ganyan po.

@ Jane Dalmacio
Hi Manuel, Noel and Arianne. Just surf on this topic.. since am planning to start a small poultry farm.. about 200 heads for layer and 500 for breeding, 45 days old-harvest. Im happy to have read all the queries. Im from Zamboanga City and really confused on the estimated capital that i’l be needing…. through Noel, i hope i can get info that’s significant of my plans… Thanks and more power to you guys. God Bless!
Hi, Jane. Noel here & I’m just asking Sir Manuel to reply ur question. In ur statement above you are planning to start a Layer business of 200hds as well as broilers of 500hds. I am advising you that layer & broiler caring & management could not be done at the same farm. Pls note that Layers take a long time in rearing them whereas broilers take a short period of time thus troubleshooting future problems will be very difficult. If u will ask my opinion, I prefer not to rear layers & broilers together at the same farm. If you start with 200hds, capitalization will depend on ur goal whether to engage it for short term or in a long term purposes. Just similar to any other things, cheaper materials will not stay long & at the long run quite expensive talking of long term plan. But still it all depends on u what really is ur goal is. If u want only to experiment in order to gain knowledge for rearing of poultry then bamboo or any available local materials will be sufficient. 200hds of DOC(day-old-chicks) for layers right now cost about Ph38.00 from Batangas dealer. If u live in the province then transportation expenses must be added. Medicines for Vaccination program till 90days old must be added but then 1 vial of vaccine for example B1B1 IB cost about 350 and intended for 1,000hds so it is then a waste as u can not use all of it. plus u need to calculate the cost of feeds until 5.5months until they start to lay eggs. In my case, in our Iloilo prov the cost of 1 (50kg) bag is Ph1,050. so u need to calculate depending on their daily consumption. For other Medicines u need to hyave also a multivitamins as well as anti-biotics in order to give more resistance to your flock. Caring of chicks till they become layers are like compared to child. Very careful management must be introduced in order to avoid future problems you may encounter. I just want to remind u that the success & failure of ur chosen project will all depend on how u invest ur time & money. Give what is due to ur chickens & rest assured they will give u more in return. Have a nice plan & never never give up whatever you have started. God bless. Noel >> http//cnnfarms.multiply.com

Hi Sir,
My name is Cezar Dasigan. I would like to get establish a poultry business
in the philippines. Is there some advices and information that I can get started with it. How much does it cost for a small business in poultry? Is there any seminars that we can participate? Or Supplier company? I heard about the Magnolia or San Miguel Corporation about poultry… Are they a good company to get start with my poultry business? It will be a family business. So, if you can get me those info I would really appreciated.
V/R
CEZAR DASIGAN
@CEZAR DASIGAN
I think attending a seminar or training can give you an idea where to contact dealers aside from managing and getting the necessary information to operate the poultry business.
Good day!
I came to know your name on the the internet regarding poultry raising here in the Philppines and that what make me interested to ask for some of advice regarding this kind of business.
Im Zeny from northern part of Cebu, and I want to engage in a poultry business, specially layer and this is our first venture with it. I want to hear from you on want exactly is the design for the houses to built and how many birds are being house on that particular site.
Thank you and hear from your soon.
@ xenia
It’s better to attend a training to learn the feasible poultry production. For example, you need to know how many chickens can be housed on a particular cage dimension. If you don’t want to attend a training, then I the internet can help you. Try to use the search term “chicken cage dimension” or “chicken cage design” on Google.
sana po matulungan nyo ko to start a backyard chicken poultry, bataan po ako, salamat po
@basty
Ano po bang klase ang kailangan ninyong tulong?
My family owned a 30 hectares of land in Surigro City and it is suitable for poultry raising.
I am looking for somebody who will help me finance and help me to start a poultry business.
I appreciate your kindness.
Thank you & God Bless.

@ Noel
Wala sigurong branch sa Samar ang TRC. Maybe in the future they will have a branch in the provincial areas.
good day!!!
sir pwede po bang makahingi ng mga ilang impormasyon tungkol po kung paano mag-alaga ng broiler na manok at magkano po ang kailangang puhunan.at kung saan po pwedeng maka-attend ng mga seminar.taga pangasinan po ako at gusto ko pong magtayo ng poultry business.
nagpapasalamat at umaasa,
jc g. andrada
@jc g andrada
Mas maigi siguro kumuha ka ng training para ma-mininize yung patsamba-tsamba lang. Kasi kung kukuha ka nga training, kahit gumastos ka ay maiiwasan mo naman ang mas malaking gastos sa hindi tamang pag-papatakbo ng poultry business.
hi po! interested po aq regarding on poultry raising.. where and when can i attend the seminar for poultry raising. i’m from nueva vizcaya..
pwede q n po bng pang start ang 200,000 kung sakali?
thank you!
@angela
Try mo sa TRC. Meron silang training doon pero di ko lang sure kung meron next month. Just wait for my post on their upcoming schedule this last week of January. You can also browse the TRC or TLRC(formerly) category. Just follow the link on the right sidebar of this blog.
@arianne
sir,
gusto ko po sana humingi ng tulong sa inyo.gusto ko po kasi magsimula ng isang poultry sa aming bayan. kaso di po ako ganun kagaling sa estimation ng budget na kailangan po..sa isang libong layers po, mgkano po kaya ng cpital na kailangan ko? sna mabigyan nyo po ako ng information pa po sa mga dpat [email protected].
salamat po ng marami.
hi, ariane, Noel here. I am interested to answer your needs. Manuel is right that before you engage in layer industry, you need to have knowledge on how to care for your flock. I can tell u that this business is a viable one provided that u fully concentrate in its good operation as well as management. The flock’s health condition must be of prime importance if u want to succeed in this venture. Pls check my site at http://www.cnnfarms.multiply.com for a physical view. In my own FS 2yrs ago using local materials such as nipa, bamboos & wood lumber etc. it all summed up that for every 1,000 layers the estimated cost is Ph 500,000.00. This cost includes the ff. 1] cost of RTL Ph175.00/each that means about 4mths & then it will start to lay eggs in a month time, 2] total cost of housing: Ph 50/head, 3] cost of commercial feeds for 1.5mths estimated at P2.31/head/day. Other expenses depending on your location. Pls check my site for the photos. The new housing that you can see there can accommodate about 6,000hds. Any comments pls let me know. Regards
@Noel
Thanks for the info! Hope this info help Arianne for her need.

@arianne
Mas maganda siguro kung kukuha ka ng training sa TRC. Kung ako lang ang magbibigay ng estimation ay baka hindi accurate kasi dapat kwentado mo yung cost ng feeds. May tamang oras at dami ng pagpapakain para hindi aksayado at hindi magastos.
thank you for the information above.i learned so many things about raising chicken and how to prevent disease…
For those who are interested in Poultry Layer Industry, you can email me and ask what you need for your preference. Good day to all & Happy New Year.
Is it correct correct that the floor area per chick for brooding is ONE SQUARE FOOT?
hope see more details in pultry raising…
such as technical activities which are necessary…
tnx..
@lem casindigan,
@Jun Canete,
As of now I have no idea. I’ll try to search for suppliers and post it here. In the mean time try searching the internet.
sinu-sino po ba ang mga suppliers ng day-old broiler chicks sa davao o cagayan de oro . pwede malaman address nila or phones ? malapit na matapos yung pinapagawa naming poulrty cages and house. pls reply asap. Thanks.
I think this article from Manila Bulletin will enlighten us: http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/205399/common-mistakes-handling-chicks
As per Mr Zac Zarian, poultry raisers from Davao are sourcing their chicks from manila and nearby provinces. So maybe this is a good opportunity to produce their own chicks which they could also sell to other poultry raisers.
tnx it helps!!
