Abstract

Broiler farming plays a significant role in supplying protein to the Malaysian population. Currently, the government is working on efforts to increase broiler production to meet domestic demand and export markets, while simultaneously addressing issues of odour and environmental pollution. In this context, the transformation to closed houe system (CHS) has been emphasised, particularly for new entrants into the industry. However, the high development costs have deterred farmers from adopting this transformation. This study was conducted to assess the viability of farming using CHS. The results show that farming with CHS is viable with a production capacity of at least 25,000 birds, which can be increased to 185,714 birds over seven production cycles per year. The NPV value is RM2,392,982 with an IRR of 28%. The payback period is projected to be in the third year, with a BCR of 1.09. Given that many farmers are still using OHS, proactive measures by the government is necessary to encourage more farmers to switch to CHS. This would not only increase broiler production but also boost the national economy through exports to other countries.
