Book Description
This manual was originally conceived, designed and written to serve as a decision making tool for investment officers at the International Finance Corporation (IFC) who are responsible for appraising projects. Correct application of the manual will enable the user to conduct preliminary evaluation of the economic and financial feasibility of a prospective integrated broiler operation in a developing country with a five-to-ten working day on-site investigation. Although it has been assumed that in-depth feasibility would be required before the project could be approved and financed, the information compiled through effective application of this manual should be sufficient to make a preliminary decision regarding the viability of a proposed poultry project. The manual details the steps needed to determine the production costs and the fixed asset and working capital requirements of a broiler operation. It includes a section on market analysis and accurate forecasting of market prices and another section on the management of integrated broiler operations. Technical annexes contain specifications of broiler and breeder houses, a summary of production costs and a glossary.
