When I started my journey in commercial broiler production in 2014 with 10,200 chicks

When I started my journey in commercial broiler production in 2014 with 10,200 chicks, I faced a staggering 18% mortality rate far above the expert benchmark of 5%.

However, the reality hit hard on the first day when I lost 100 chicks, many due to drowning. The shame of failure loomed large, as I realized that the gurus teaching success were profiting from teaching rather than farming. This revelation prompted me to reevaluate my approach.

I stopped chasing every new suggestion and focused on developing key performance parameters for my farm. I organized in-house training sessions and created our own standard operating procedures, implementing a robust monitoring and evaluation system. This structured approach extended to all departments, leading to a comprehensive land use and management plan.
