PROJECT SUMMARY
Broiler chickens is a progressive animal enterprise in the country today.
These type of chicken is raised for meat production making it really relevant all
times. It allows agriventurers to have a stable income and thus contribute to the
economy of the country. The project utilized 100 heads of 45 days broiler chickens
raised in 36-45 days at Sitio Abuyod, Brgy. Dalig, Teresa, Rizal. This project used
the Cobb 500 breed of broiler chickens purchased at farm, and it only covers up to
3 harvests.
The project has a gross sale of thirty-three thousand seven hundred ninety-
four pesos (Php.33,794.00), with total operating expenses amounting to twenty-
four thousand one hundred seventy-five pesos (Php.24,175.00). The net income
of the project is nine thousand one hundred sixty-nine pesos (Php.9,169.00). The
project has a return on investment of thirty-seven and ninety-three percent
(37.93%).
The project encounters problems such as changing temperature, lighting
management, feeding management and external predator such as cats and dogs.
To improve the conduct of the project, the student recommended the
following suggestions: Broiler industry must aim for more efficient systems of
production and marketing, in venturing to animal raising, there must be an
environment conducive to productivity improvement, feeding management should
be responsible and learned to avoid too much expenses.

INTRODUCTION
Background Information
The Philippines is believed to be a well-attained self-sufficient in poultry by
being a prolific producer of poultry products. According to Department of
Agriculture (DA), there are estimated 800 million broilers that are produced
annually and in spite of the current rapid growth of population, the country’s stock
of birds continues to meet consumer demands by having restaurants and those
who are in the food business to have steady flow.
Backyard poultry raising in the Philippines has become a shared culture in
most of the local communities and places and is a valued resource being an
income provider. It provides a lot of opportunities in business, livelihood and can
be a main source of family and subsidiary income. It also plays a vital role in the
rapidly growing economy.
In the latest report from Philippine Statistic Authority (PSA), there were
total of 179 million birds as of January 1, 2022 which is 1.2 percent higher
compared with the previous year same period population which accounts 176.82
million birds wherein 29.8 of this are broiler chickens.
Broiler chickens are any chicken raised and bred specifically for meat
production. They are slaughtered when they reach slaughter weight which is
between four and seven weeks. It attracts consumers because of its characteristics
Province of Rizal
Tanay Main Campus
such as fast growth rate, early feathering higher qualifications of feed conversion,
and eligible flesh color.
The most common type of broiler chicken that is being raised is the ‘forty-
five (45) days chicken’. The “45-days” term is used only and became popular
because this type of broiler chicken can be slaughtered between 38 to 45 days.
Commercial growers however actually harvest their chicken at 38 to 39 days. It is
the reason why most of the poultry raisers used this breed of chicken to ensure
excellent return of investments in just a short period of time.
This narrative report of experience aims to identify the amount that
everyone needed to raise broiler chickens in backyard setting, this will present the
breed of chicken to be raised, their economic importance, impact as well their
profitability when raised. The purpose of this paper is to be able to identify possible
loopholes and decide whether a proposed plan will effectively increase profits.
Similarly, this can be used to decide between the two or more alternative
enterprises further and even to make whole farm plans. Nowadays, poultry raising
together with the entire industry is having a hard time due to the economic impact
of the pandemic. Having a poultry business is not as easy as it looks like for it
requires a large investment in terms of the needs of the business because of the
rising cost of antibiotics, feeds, labor, together with infrastructure requirements.
But to be able to project the future plans, it should be started by small ways
including backyard poultry raising.

Province of Rizal
Tanay Main Campus
With the increasing number of people who are engaging intimately into
any fragments of agriculture, it is possible to pave a way to eradicate food poverty
in the country as well as into the world through education of self-sufficient methods
and agricultural sciences.
Objectives of the Project
Generally, the project is mandated and required in applying the technical
know-how learned and create positive attitude towards agriculture. Specifically, it
also aimed to perform activities into real field situation. Agribusiness venture serve
as means of livelihood in the future.
It also aimed to identify the expenses raising broiler chicken as a probable
source of needed protein and income.
Specific Objectives
The following are the specific objectives in the implementation of the project:
1. To produce a backyard raised broiler chicken.
2. To identify the proper cultural and modern way of management in raising
broiler chickens.
3. To project the expenses and cost of raising broiler chicken in terms of its
feeds, nutrients, housing and different needs.
4. To establish the profile of broiler chicken in terms of its origin, biological and
physical characteristics.
5. To gross income in raising broiler chickens.
6. Asses its implication on the household, finance and project setting.

Significance of the Project
This project is significant to the students because as they start to experience
the real field setting, their response on the possible scenario that may occur will
be significant to their learning. They will also be able to identify the validity and
uses of the theoretical knowledge that they have.
Likewise, it will help them apply what they have learned from the indoor
discussions that has been provided by them which includes the proper
maintenance and control of the food, nutrients and water in raising backyard broiler
chickens.
At this time where everything including the economy face challenges
brought by the pandemic, a source of food and possible income will be beneficial
for those who only rely on farming. This will help those who wanted to venture in
agricultural business by serving as guide in expenses.

Province of Rizal

Scope and Delimitation
This project identifies the expenses in raising backyard broiler chickens.
The project is conducted at Sitio Abuyod, Brgy. Dalig, Teresa, Rizal wherein the
student chooses the area because of its suitability in terms of feed source,
temperature and environment that is away from possible stress.
The student used one hundred (100) heads of 45 days chicken that will be
raised in 38-45 days. The student will also evaluate the expenses in raising broiler
chickens by its average feed consumption and water management.

Supply and Demand Analysis
Broiler chickens are still in demand when it comes to affordable meat
product. Dressed chicken gross supply is composed of production (73.8 percent)
and imports (23.73 percent). Supply rose by six and nine percent from the previous
year from 433.11 thousand metric tons (MT) in 2021 to 463.12 thousand in 2022.
According to the inventory made by Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) as
of June 2022, total chicken inventory was registered at 186.36 million birds or a
decrease of -0.5 percent compared to stocks in the same period of previous
year. Similarly, population of native/improved chicken and layer chicken declined
by -1.6 percent and -0.2 percent, respectively.
On the other hand, broiler chicken population grew by 0.8 percent. Of the
total chicken population, native/improved chicken accounted for 43.9
percent, followed by broiler chicken with 32.4 percent share and layer chicken
with 23.7 percent share.
In terms of chicken inventory, the top regions were Central Luzon,
CALABARZON, and Northern Mindanao with a combined share of 44.5 percent to
the total chicken population. Broiler meat is popular because it is cheaper, more
versatile, and is perceived to give more health benefits than red meat.
The growth in chicken demand has been faster than other meats due to its
affordability, lower fat content, and absence of cultural and religious hindrances.
Province of Rizal
Tanay Main Campus
In addition, chicken is the preferred meat in fast food outlets, which is a quickly
expanding sector throughout the Philippines.
Possible Factors that can affect the Product in the Market
In spite of these advantages, the world broiler industry increasingly faces
pressure to improve its production methods, with consumers and government
citing health, environment, and animal welfare as the areas for improvement.
Demand outlook is positive for the Philippine broiler industry because of the
continuing growth in population and household incomes in the country.
There are different factors that could affect the product either positively or
negatively in the market. The subject covers the production of one hundred (100)
heads broiler chicken.
Availability of customer on harvesting period - it is raised for meat
production and is expected to be sold out after forty-five days of rearing. Chicken
meat is one of the most common foods in the area and is being patronage by the
people that is why the student choose the broiler chicken to be raised.
Price per kilo (liveweight/dressed) - the chicken meat will be sold dressed
with price amounting to Php. 160.00 – Php. 170.00 per kilogram depending on the
quantity of purchase. By assuming that the sales exceed the variable costs, each
additional unit of sales volume will increase the gross profits and net income.
Lowering the costs without impacting revenue and maintain the same sales volume
will make the profits go up.

Province of Rizal
Tanay Main Campus
Target Market and Location - since it is not possible to place the meat
product in the market, the student will make a pre-order ahead of the slaughter of
chickens to be able to allocate properly the orders of the client. The product was
advertised through social media stories and are negotiated through online
conversation with the client. The remaining chicken meat that wasn’t sold out yet
are placed inside the cold fridge to ensure freshness and to avoid spoilage of meat.
The heads, livers and gizzards and feet of the chicken will be sold
separately with price amounting to Php.100.00 per kilo of the feet, Php.150.00 per
kilo of the liver and gizzard, and Php.70.00 per kilo of the chicken head. It will be
packed in a plastic bag to be stored in the cold freezer prior to purchase. The
product is targeted to be sold and have an economic analysis by the end of the
month.

For a sustainable development of poultry business, a well-developed
production and marketing system is needed, because an efficient production and
marketing system can play important role in improving the poultry raising and
thereby raising the income of small poultry owners as well as traders.
It is inevitable to the industry of poultry raising to encounter problems and
other different possible factors that can affect the broiler product in the market.
Poultry meat, particularly from broiler are superior to other types of meat available
for human consumption for its tender, palatability and digestibility. Broiler meat can
efficiently and rapidly fulfill the shortage of protein requirement since it can be
produced at least possible time as compared to other meat producing animals.
But despite of its potential marketable qualities, it can also encounter factors
like physical risks occur from theft, death, deterioration of quality, wastage and loss
of weight during the finals days before slaughtering. These factors are greatly
affected by the quality of feeds given, water management, vitamins and
environmental conditions in the chicken house.
It can be observed in the market that most of the chickens in the market
were bigger than the one which small scale poultry raisers sold. It is because these
chickens that are being sold in the market undergoes genetic selection and has
need to achieve certain standards before being sold in the market.

Technical Aspects
This study discusses about the processes and activities conducted in broiler
production. It states also the materials, equipment and used in production and
other aspects regarding the purchase of stocks and feeds needed into dressing
the chicken ready for trade. Chicken house layout, size and production schedule
are all presented for the purpose of identifying the business operation.
Also, product specifications, the product processes using flowchart, the list
of expenses, tools and materials, and feed supply are enumerated with their
corresponding costs, the raw materials and fund sources are also cited.
Production Processes
Site Selection
The selection of site to perform the project was not conducted. The students
were free to choose on where they can grow and develop their stocks. The project
was conducted as Sitio Abuyod, Brgy. Dalig, Teresa, Rizal because the student
observed that the place is well ventilated, the place was wide enough and some of
the materials needed for the completion of the project were present at the area.
Construction/Repair of Brooding House
The construction of a new brooding house was done to secure the chickens
from predators such as snakes and cats. Since there is no brooding house already
available at that time, the student needed to build a newly one.

Province of Rizal
Tanay Main Campus
It has been decided to lessen the expenditures by means of using old
scraps, available lumbers/woods and nets. The construction lasted for one day and
was completed a day before the stocks arrived.
The cage built behind the proponent’s house in their backyard so that it will
not cause any disturbances to the other people who are living in the area. The
chicken house was built up and down. Old scraps like roofs and woods were
repainted and furnished to look good as new.
Cleaning and Disinfection
Cleaning was performed right after the construction of the brooding house
was finished. Since the student use old lumbers and scraps for roofing, it can be
observed from the materials that some of its parts were full of spider webs and
were covered with frass – termite droppings.
The area wherein the brooding house was placed were also full of unwanted
weeds pile of rotten leaves that’s why the proponent needs to remove all
unnecessary things around the brooding house.
Selection and Purchasing of Stocks
The strain of the stock selected is Cobb 500. The stocks were purchased at
Direct Consumer Marketing (DCM) Farm, an agribusiness that produces day old
chicks, located at Estacion, Brgy. San Guillermo, Morong, Rizal. The stocks were
comprised of 100 chicks characterized with bright eyes, active, free from diseases,
healthy, uniform in size and weighing 45-50 grams each.

Province of Rizal
Tanay Main Campus
Brooding
Brooding refers to the period immediately after hatch when special care and
attention must be given to chicks to ensure their health and survival. It also refers
to the rearing of chicks with an appropriate degree of heat.
On this project, artificial brooding was utilized wherein the thermal radiation
from the heat source which is the bulb is used to provide a controlled and
monitored heat temperature from brooding chicks. The brooding stage lasted for
14-15 days using a small portion at the corner of the brooding house.
Since the brooding house was made to occupy 100 grown chickens, it was
too big for 100 heads of day-old chicks that’s why it has to be modified, a smaller
portion of the house was covered with plywood fixed horizontally near the cage’s
opening. The proponent also uses rice hulls to serve as floorings of the brooding
area. The area equipped during brooding was increased as the chicks increase
their weight and sizes. Four (4) 50 watts light bulb was used as a source of artificial
heat prior to the brooding of the chicks.
Growing Period
After the brooding stage, the following weeks were the period for the
chickens to grow and develop. During the growing period, the bird’s house was
adjusted to provide a well ventilated and suitable area to the growth of the chicks.
The light was also scheduled to be switched on at 6:00 PM and to be turned off at
6:00 AM.
Province of Rizal
Tanay Main Campus
The outer covering of the brooding house was also lowered and raised at
the same time period as the light to ensure the welfare of the chicks inside.
Feeding and Provision of Drinking Water
It is very important to ensure that proper feeding and providing available
water for the chickens. In poultry raising, the maintenance of the chickens is the
most significant just like the other types of farm animals.
Without proper feeding, proper growth of all types of animals cannot be
attained leading to inefficient operation and losses. On this project, the proper
feeding and watering was strictly observed. Dry feeding method was utilized,
consuming commercial feeds.
For the period of two weeks, during the brooding stage, the chicks were fed
with B-MEG® Integra 1000 (with probiotics), a chick booster manufactured by San
Miguel Corporation.
During the growing stage which started in the third week up to the sixth
week, the chickens consumed two hundred kilos of B-MEG® Integra 2000 while
the rest from the seventh to the final week, one hundred of B-MEG® Integra 3000
was consumed on those weeks.
Clean and potable water was provided to the broiler chickens. Water
dispensers were washed everyday regularly every time there is a need to change
the water. This is done so that the possible feces will be removed and to avoid the
accumulation of microorganism in the drinking water which may affect the health
of the chickens and may cause incurable poultry disease.

Four (4) sachets of SELECTROGEN PLUS MVM® Water Soluble Powder
(contains multivitamins like Vitamin A, D3, E, K3, C, B1, B2, B6, B12 and
electrolyte minerals like Niacinamide, Calcium Panthothenate, Calcium Gluconate,
Sodium Chloride, Magnesium Sulfate and Potassium Chloride) was diluted in
every liter of the water provided to the chickens. A total of three (3) boxes of
SELECTROGEN PLUS MVM® from Sagupaan Superfeeds and Agricultural
Products Inc. were consumed in the entire 6 weeks while another 12 sachets of
SELECTROGEN PLUS MVM® were consumed on the remaining 8 weeks.
Location
The project will be operated at Sitio Abuyod, Brgy. Dalig, Teresa, Rizal. It
can be observed that the place will be suitable for raising broilers because it is
away from residential areas. It is also accessible since it is along the road and has
an effective waste disposal area. The materials, supply and other needs was also
present and can be easily accessed.
Biodegradable
The waste from the broiler house will be identified as biodegradable. These
wastes will be disposed in a compost pit located at the back of the broiler house.
Non-biodegradable wastes will be recycled or sold to junkshops such as sacks,
plywood, and other materials from the construction to raising and harvesting.

that the project has a gross income of Php.33,794.00 less the production cost
amounting to Php.24,175.00, the net income is Php.9,169.00 and has a 37.93%
return of investment (ROI).
Production Efficiency Indicators
Production efficiency indicators allows to identify areas for improvement,
define the sequence of improvement actions and monitor the effects and durability
of implemented actions in a company.
1. Average Gain in Weight
In determining the gain in weight of the broiler chickens, the initial weight,
final weight and the number of feeding days, the broiler chickens will be weighed
to get the body weight.
Average Daily Gain = Final Weight – Initial Weight / Feeding Days
ADG = 2.11 – 0.045 / 45 days
ADG = 2.11 – 0.045 = 2.065/45 = 0.046kg

Tanay Main Campus
2. Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR)
Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) represents the proportion of food that is
converted into meat and is the hardest figure to calculate accurately. It can be
identified by the total weight of feed divided by the net production (final weight
minus starting weight) to obtain the feed conversion.
FCR = Feed Intake / Average Daily Gain
FCR = 211.21 / 0.046kg = 4591.52
Problems Met
During the conduct of the project, the following problems have arisen:
1. The changing weather during the time of brooding that caused 7 heads
mortality. It was raining during night and dry during the whole day making
the weather unpredictable.
2. Poor lighting management because of unscheduled on and off of lights
using in brooding.
3. Infestation of flies (which is normal sa poultry production) but it causes
disturbances.
4. Waste disposal that is not well managed because of the availability of
materials needed to clean the area.

Province of Rizal
Tanay Main Campus
5. Unorganized harvesting and dressing of the chickens that brought the
proponent to sell the chicken at lower price compared to the projected price
to avoid spoilage.
Recommendations
Based on the findings and problems met, the proponent recommends the
following for the betterment of the project.
1. Prepare and anticipate the weather condition by monitoring the sky
condition during the day. Avoid poultry production during rainy season.
2. Be responsible in monitoring the light and ventilation of the brooding house
to avoid mortality rates.
3. Prepare insect controls or repellents and avoid the poultry weight to get wet
to avoid the unpleasant smell. Cover the waste pile with soil to lessen the
fly infestation.
4. Look for a place that can be used to store poultry waste like compost pit or
any waste disposal area that are not near residential houses.
5. Create a schedule based on the actual scheduled time of harvest to avoid
confusions. Plan out everything including the clients who will buy your
product.

Tanay Main Campus
Social Aspect
Broiler production can contribute in the fast way to earn money. Based on
the projected income on the farm and budget proposal, this project can earn more
up to Forty-two thousand and five hundred pesos (Php.42,500.00) which can be
used by the proponent to venture into another agricultural business.
This project allows the proponent as well as the other student to maximize
their skills and strength in producing livestock business and helps them utilize what
they have learned in farming. The methods and approach used by the proponent
can also be adapted by the community.
Furthermore, the project gives the idea that some farmers needed in order
to profit more in their agricultural business ventures. It can also sustain food
shortage and ensures food security because it teaches everyone the management
process in poultry business. Since poultry business is always in demand, it meets
the society’s need for an affordable meat compared to other meat products that
are produced but with high maintenance.

Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION
The Philippines is believed to be a well-attained self-sufficient in poultry by
being a prolific producer of poultry products. According to Department of
Agriculture (DA), there are estimated 800 million broilers that are produced
annually and in spite of the current rapid growth of population, the country’s stock
of birds continues to meet consumer demands by having restaurants and those
who are in the food business to have steady flow.
Backyard poultry raising in the Philippines has become a shared culture in
most of the local communities and places and is a valued resource being an
income provider. It provides a lot of opportunities in business, livelihood and can
be a main source of family and subsidiary income. It also plays a vital role in the
rapidly growing economy.
In the latest report from Philippine Statistic Authority (PSA), there were
total of 179 million birds as of January 1, 2022 which is 1.2 percent higher
Province of Rizal
Tanay Main Campus
compared with the previous year same period population which accounts 176.82
million birds wherein 29.8 of this are broiler chickens.
Broiler chickens are any chicken raised and bred specifically for meat
production. They are slaughtered when they reach slaughter weight which is
between four and seven weeks. It attracts consumers because of its characteristics
such as fast growth rate, early feathering higher qualifications of feed conversion,
and eligible flesh color.
The most common type of broiler chicken that is being raised is the ‘forty-
five (45) days chicken’. The “45-days” term is used only and became popular
because this type of broiler chicken can be slaughtered between 38 to 45 days.
Commercial growers however actually harvest their chicken at 38 to 39 days. It is
the reason why most of the poultry raisers used this breed of chicken to ensure
excellent return of investments in just a short period of time.
This farm and budget plan aims to identify the prospect amount needed
to raise broiler chickens in backyard setting, this will present the breed of chicken
to be raised, their economic importance, impact as well their profitability when
raised. The purpose of this paper is to be able to identify possible loopholes and
decide whether a proposed plan will effectively increase profits.
Similarly, this can be used to decide between the two or more alternative
enterprises further and even to make whole farm plans. Nowadays, poultry raising
together with the entire industry is having a hard time due to the economic impact
of the pandemic.
Province of Rizal
Tanay Main Campus
Having a poultry business is not as easy as it looks like for it requires a
large investment in terms of the needs of the business because of the rising cost
of antibiotics, feeds, labor, together with infrastructure requirements. But to be able
to project the future plans, it should be started by small ways including backyard
poultry raising.
With the increasing number of people who are engaging intimately into
any fragments of agriculture, it is possible to pave a way to eradicate food poverty
in the country as well as into the world through education of self-sufficient methods
and agricultural sciences.
Objectives of the Project
Generally, the project is mandated and required in applying the technical
know-how learned and create positive attitude towards agriculture. Specifically, it
also aimed to perform activities into real field situation. Agribusiness venture serve
as means of livelihood in the future.
It also aimed to identify the expenses raising broiler chicken as a probable
source of needed protein and income.
Specific Objectives
The following are the specific objectives in the implementation of the project:
1. To produce a backyard raised broiler chicken.
2. To identify the proper cultural and modern way of management in raising
broiler chickens.
Province of Rizal
Tanay Main Campus
3. To project the expenses and cost of raising broiler chicken in terms of its
feeds, nutrients, housing and different needs.
4. To establish the profile of broiler chicken in terms of its origin, biological and
physical characteristics.
5. To gross income in raising broiler chickens.
6. Asses its implication on the household, finance and project setting.
Significance of the Project
This project is significant to the students because as they start to experience
the real field setting, their response on the possible scenario that may occur will
be significant to their learning. They will also be able to identify the validity and
uses of the theoretical knowledge that they have.
Likewise, it will help them apply what they have learned from the indoor
discussions that has been provided by them which includes the proper
maintenance and control of the food, nutrients and water in raising backyard broiler
chickens.
At this time where everything including the economy face challenges
brought by the pandemic, a source of food and possible income will be beneficial
for those who only rely on farming. This will help those who wanted to venture in
agricultural business by serving as guide in expenses.
Scope and Delimitation
This project identifies the expenses in raising backyard broiler chickens.
The project is conducted at Sitio Abuyod, Brgy. Dalig, Teresa, Rizal wherein the
Province of Rizal
Tanay Main Campus
student chooses the area because of its suitability in terms of feed source,
temperature and environment that is away from possible stress.
The student will use one hundred (100) heads of 45 days chicken that will
be raised in 38-45 days. The student will also evaluate the expenses in raising
broiler chickens by its average feed consumption and water management.

Marketing Aspects
The subject covers the production of one hundred (100) heads broiler chicken. It
is raised for meat production and is expected to be sold out after forty-five days of rearing.
Province of Rizal
Tanay Main Campus
Chicken meat is one of the most common foods in the area and is being patronage by the
people that is why the student choose the broiler chicken to be raised.
The chicken meat will be sold dressed with price amounting to Php. 160.00 – Php.
170.00 per kilogram depending on the quantity of purchase. By assuming that the sales
exceed the variable costs, each additional unit of sales volume will increases the gross
profits and net income. Lowering the costs without impacting revenue and maintain the
same sales volume will make the profits go up.
Since it is not possible to place the meat product in the market, the student will
make a pre-order ahead of the slaughter of chickens to be able to allocate properly the
orders of the client. The product was advertised through social media stories and are
negotiated through online conversation with the client. The remaining chicken meat that
wasn’t sold out yet are placed inside the cold fridge to ensure freshness and to avoid
spoilage of meat.
The heads, livers and gizzards and feet of the chicken will be sold separately with
price amounting to Php.100.00 per kilo of the feet, Php.150.00 per kilo of the liver and
gizzard, and Php.70.00 per kilo of the chicken head. It will be packed in a plastic bag to
be stored in the cold freezer prior to purchase. The product is targeted to be sold and have
an economic analysis by the end of the month.

Possible Factors that can affect the Product in the Market
For a sustainable development of poultry business, a well-developed
production and marketing system is needed, because an efficient production and
marketing system can play important role in improving the poultry raising and
thereby raising the income of small poultry owners as well as traders.
It is inevitable to the industry of poultry raising to encounter problems and
other different possible factors that can affect the broiler product in the market.
Poultry meat, particularly from broiler are superior to other types of meat
available for human consumption for its tender, palatability and digestibility.
Broiler meat can efficiently and rapidly fulfill the shortage of protein requirement
since it can be produced at least possible time as compared to other meat
producing animals.
Province of Rizal
Tanay Main Campus
But despite of its potential marketable qualities, it can also encounter
factors like physical risks occur from theft, death, deterioration of quality,
wastage and loss of weight during the finals days before slaughtering.
These factors are greatly affected by the quality of feeds given, water
management, vitamins and environmental conditions in the chicken house.
It can be observed in the market that most of the chickens in the
market were bigger than the one which small scale poultry raisers sold. It
is because these chickens that are being sold in the market undergoes
genetic selection
