4. SELECTION OF LOCATION :

The main and Foremost important thing for poultry farming in India is selecting asuitable land. And it is the most expensive part of this business. For setting up commercialpoultry production, it would be better if you have the land of your own. The area of the landdepends on the number of birds you want to raise. Consider the following aspects whilechoosing land for commercial poultry farming business in India.

Try to setup the farm in rural areas that is slightly far from the city. Because, land andlabor are relatively cheaper in rural areas.

Select a chaos and noise free calm and quiet place.

The area of the land depends on the number of birds and farming system. Free rangefarming system requires more land than intensive system.

The chosen area must have to have fresh and pollution free environment.

Never setup the farm in rented land. Because, in rented land the land owner can forceyou to leave his land at anytime. So, it would be better if you are the owner of the land.
