Understanding Break-Even
The break-even price is the sale price (₹/kg) at which your total revenue exactly equals your total production costs. Selling above this price generates profit; selling below results in a loss.
The Formula
Break-Even Price = (Total Batch Costs) / (Total Live Weight Sold)
Estimated Break-Even by Flock Size (Average Costs)
| Flock Size | Break-even Price (₹/kg) |
|---|---|
| 2,000 birds | ₹95.30 |
| 5,000 birds | ₹94.10 |
| 10,000 birds | ₹92.80 |
Key Drivers
- FCR: Better FCR lowers the cost of feed per kg produced.
- DOC Price: High procurement costs raise the starting floor.
- Mortality: High death rates reduce the total weight available for sale, spreading fixed costs over fewer kilograms.
