Poultry Project Financial Feasibility Model

This poultry financial model template in Excel provides a framework to determine the financial feasibility of a new poultry project for producing broiler birds. The financial model template uses a bottom-up approach to forecast the required production volumes based on the targeted daily production output and calculates feed volumes, required number of Day-Old Chicks and Hatchery Eggs. The financial model’s forecast is aggregated into a Three Statement Model which contains projected Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement over a period of 10 years among many other schedules. A Pro Model versions offers additional detail in terms of the pricing model and the estimation of processing costs, profit analysis, break-even analysis and sensitivity analysis. The financial forecast then is used to calculate the Free Cash Flows to determine the project’s Financial Metrics such as IRR, NPV and Payback Period to evaluate the project’s financial feasibility.

The poultry financial feasibility model considers four sources of revenues: sale of chicken products, sale of Day-Old-Chicks, Hatchery Eggs and other revenues. The model template uses a bottom-up approach to derive the required volumes of broiler birds, Day-Old Chicks, Hatchery Eggs and Breeder birds based on estimated on various operational performance parameters, durations of the growing cycle and targeted Weight and Feed Conversion Ratios. Required feed volumes of and space for broiler and breeder houses are calculated as well. The operating model then is aggregated into a financial model containing a comprehensive financial forecast to determine the project’s feasibility.

The Excel financial model template comes in two versions where the model’s Pro Version includes advanced features such as a more detailed pricing model with secondary processing steps, sensitivity analysis, break-even analysis and detailed cost analysis as a % of revenues, per lb or per bird while the Basic model template version includes the Basic 10-year financial projections only.
