ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I thank ALLAH ALMIGHTY who selected us for this opportunity and helped us in achieving
the goal of this project. I express my gratefulness to all teachers for their lessons that brought
us to this stage of academic peak. I also thank my Principal who provides me wonderful and
comfortable working environment and my Project Advisor for being a constant source of
guidance throughout the course of this project.
DEDICATION
I have completed my project “Control shed system” under the guidance of Prof. Saleem
Afzal Dhillon throughout the project and helped us regarding any problem in our project
Summary
Control shed is one the most important sector of agriculture industry in Pakistan by providing
Employment to 1.5 million people. Broiler meat is the cheapest source of animal protein
Available in Pakistan by contributing 4.81% in agriculture growth and 9.84% in Livestock
growth. According to Industry sources there is capacity of 5,000 Environmental Control
Houses in Pakistan and currently 2,500 houses are working, out Of which 75% (1,875) are in
Punjab and remaining 25% (625) are in other provinces.
In environmentally Controlled Poultry Farm the day old chicks (DOCs) are raised on rich
protein feed for about a period of six weeks. Approximately, six flocks of birds could be
reared on the same premises of the farm. The Controlled Shed Poultry Farm with population
of 35,000 birds presently needs a capital investment estimated at Rs. 19.2 million for
construction, purchasing machinery and equipment. In addition to this, a sum of Rs. 5.7
million is required as working capital, which would be used for purchasing day old chicks
and other inputs like feed, vaccines, etc. The total project cost is estimated at Rs. 24.9
million. The estimated income varies from 1.9 million to 10 million per annum from first to
tenth year of the project. This is a profitable business enterprise due to continuous increasing
demand of the white meat in the market and export prospects especially in Muslim countries.
Eggs are vital source of providing high quality of animal proteins, having excellent source of iron,
phosphorus, selenium and other minerals which are daily requirement of the human body. Animal
Protein is more valuable than that of plant protein. Per capita consumption of eggs in many
countries is far below the minimum recommended level. The average availability of protein in
Pakistan is 72.0 grams a day, which is far less than the recommended daily dietary protein
consumption of 102.7 grams. In Pakistan Egg numbers are increasing by the rate of 6.79% per anum
and about 69.76% of Eggs comes from commercial layer farming and rest of it comes from Rural
Poultry (Desi).

Project Cost
The Controlled Shed Poultry Farm with population of 50,000 birds needs a capital investment
estimated at Rs. 19.2 million for construction, purchasing machinery and equipment. In addition to
this, a sum of Rs. 5.7 million is required as working capital, which would be used for purchasing day
old chicks and other inputs like feed, vaccines, etc. The total project cost is estimated at Rs. 24.9
million.
Present Poultry Industry Scenario

Grand Parents are imported from Australia, Holland, Germany and USA. These Grand Parents
produce Breeders that produce final products which are Broilers, so the generation line of broiler
comes from pure line (Strains) i.e. Great Grand Parents. The day old broilers are purchased from
hatcheries. Broilers are fed with high nutrition feed mix produced by feed mills. Poultry feed consists
of rich protein elements like canola meal, rapeseed meal, sunflower meal, soyabean meal, feather
meal and rich energy elements like grains, gluten, etc. The major component of cost of production of
chicken meat accounts for feed cost.

Effects of Environment on Poultry Farming

Heat stress is the major problem in poultry farming. Being a tropical country the temperature
reaches over 40°C during summer and is not suitable for poultry farming. Hot and humid weather
conditions and poor management practices increase the mortality in flocks, reduce the growth and
make poultry production to uneconomical level. In traditional farming, during the summer farmers
have to either continue taking flocks compromising with poor performance in feed intake, growth
rate, weight gain, FCR (Feed Conversion Ratio) in broilers along with mortality or totally close the
business to avoid all these risks that could disturb the hired labour and staff. Controlled environment
poultry farms can overcome this critical summer situation. These farms when equipped with highly
mechanized system of automatic chain feeding and nipple drinking systems make the environment
quite conducive for poultry production by getting continuous production.
Benefits of Poultry Farming in Controlled Environment
Poultry Farming in Controlled Environment has brought a great change in poultry industry of
Pakistan and is rapidly becoming popular among broiler producers due to its following significant
advantages: 1. The temperature remains consistent round the clock providing very conducive
environment to the broilers.
2. The temperature can be brought down by 10°C to 15°C in controlled environment farm as
compared to the conventional farm and makes environment more comfortable for birds.
3. In conventional farming the broiler production in summer is almost stopped and only four flocks
could be taken whereas in controlled environment farming 6-7 flocks could be raised.
4. Being controlled environment the incidence of diseases could be minimized and cut down the cost
of vaccine and medication of Rs. 2-3 per bird as compared to conventional farming.
5. Mortality has been decreased to 2 to 3 percent in controlled environment farm as compared to 10

percent in conventional farm.
6. In controlled environment farm only one person at daytime and one at night time are sufficient to
look after a flock of 35,000 birds. Whereas conventional farm nearly 6-8 persons are required to
manage such a flock.
7. In controlled environment farm a broiler flock is ready for market in 37 days as compared to 45
days in conventional farm.
8. Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) in conventional farm is more 2 to 2.2 (3 to 3.3 kg feed to gain 1.5 kg
weight), whereas FCR is improved to 1.8 in controlled environment farm (2.8 kg feed to gain 1.5 kg
weight).
