Management Practices and Problems in Broiler Farming in Mirzakhil Union, Satkania, Chittagong

Abstract

A report on Management Practices and Problems of Broiler farming system in Mirzakhil Union, Satkania, Chittagong. The necessary information of the study was carried out when I was staying at Mirzakhil poultry farm from 02/05/2015 to 15/09/2015. During this period I worked actively in the farm & collected data on prospects and problems of broiler farming in the Mirzakhil Union by using an interview schedule through face to face interview of the farm owner and the workers who work in the farm. There were 4 broiler sheds in Mirzakhil poultry farm. The owner of the farm was interested in rearing broiler under modern farming system. The estimated net profit of the farm from one batch was found Tk.36,120. But he felt always threaten to rear broiler due to various problems like lack of electricity, low quality feed, poor quality chicks, high mortality of chicks etc. So, the possibility was found high but facility was found very low. If the problems can be recovered, he along with other farmers would be more encouraged to establish broiler farms on a large scale in all seasons.
