Appendix 3
Calculating the value of poultry production

The total value of poultry production (TVP) is calculated using the following formula:

TVB = EV + MeV + DV + PV

Where

EV is the value of egg production
MeV is the value of meat production
DV is the value of manure, and
PV is the value of pest control.
EV = qE × pE

where

qE is the number/weight of eggs per year
pE is the farm gate price per egg/per kilogram
MeV = qMe × pMe

where

qMe is the quantity of meat produced
pMe is the farm gate price per unit for meat

DV = n × d × pD

where

d is the quantity of manure per bird per year in kg
pMe is the price of manure per kilogram

Cost of poultry production

CB = n (g + h + t + v + cd)

cd is the cost of disposing of waste.
