Cost of Production (COP) per kg
COP is the ultimate financial efficiency metric. It combines biological performance (FCR, Mortality) with economic inputs (Feed price, DOC price, Labour).
Industry Benchmarks (India)
| Performance | Cost per kg (₹) | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Excellent | < ₹83.00 | High Profit |
| Good | ₹88 - ₹92 | Healthy |
| Average | ₹96.00 | Tight Margin |
| Poor | > ₹105.00 | Loss Risk |
Components of Cost
- Feed: ~70%
- DOC: ~18%
- Labour/Med/Misc: ~12%
Monitoring your COP daily allows you to see if you are on track to beat the market price. If your COP is higher than the average market rate (NECC), you must focus on improving FCR.
