Before starting a project, four important criteria should be considered: - Capital - Farm - Management - Marketing These four important criteria should come together in order to achieve success and also farmer's attitude towards project. If one of criteria is not met, most probably will end up with failure. CAPITAL Before starting a project, capital needed are as follows: Fixed Cost - Barn included building fees (Area for 1 bird – 1 Square foot) - Water tank (together with pvc join) - Heater (1 small hoover = 500 day old chick) - Water drinkers for chick (4 units = 100 birds) - Feed troughs for chick (long trough: 3 units = 100 birds) - Automatic drinkers (2 units = 100 birds) - Feed troughs – hanging (2 units = 100 birds) - Store for keeping apparatus and feed - Other expenditures (unexpected) Current Cost - Day old chicks - Poultry feed – starter, developer (in layers) and finisher - Electricity/diesel/water - Vaccine and medicine - Building depreciation (5 years) - Apparatus depreciation (3 years) - Bank loan interest - Other expenditures (unexpected)

FARM Choosing Of Area - Sufficient area of land - Good irrigation - Preferable higher land so that air ventilation is good - Far from human activities, have good road connection, electricity supply, and clean water supply and free from chicken enemies for e.g. wild animals - Do not mix with other kinds of poultry such as duck and village chicken - Far form housing estates - Near to market place Housing Design and System The barn should have following criteria: - Good air ventilation to dry up moisture and minimize ammonia gas from feaces. - The size of barn should be suitable with number of chicken reared. Do not build barn that is too small or too bid because it is not profitable. The suitable size is 1 square foot per bird. For e.g. 5000 birds need 5000 square feet. Suggested dimension of barn: 25feet x 200feet (1 barn) or 25feet x 100feet (2 barns) - Location of barn, East – West direction, in order to avoid from direct hot sun. Housing System Can be divided into 2: - Raised floor system using cages - Deep litter system

PRODUCTION PROCESS

Take 100kg of grade 2 gum Arabic romove any black one, sticks or stone in it, into 20, pack it in 5kg each. Then pour in 100 litres of water. Boil water to highest level (Boiling point of 100oc).

Add 5kg of gum Arabic and continue stearing it for 30-60 minutes and add anther 5kg and stear for another 30-60 minutes.

Continue production process adding 5kg every 30-60 minutes until all Gum Arabic is added.

Do not stop stearing until all you melt all Gum-Arabic. After finishing melting process, allow product to cool.

Filter product with clothe if you are operating a manual production or use a filter machine if you are for mechanize production. Pour filtrate in a plastic drum then allow it to stay in drum for 24 hours (1 day). Refiller it again after 24 hours, make sure that as you are filtring second time allow 20 litres as waste, because you will observed that down part of gum is filled with dirt. This dirty part should not be added to good once.
