Maintenance of broilers with an intensive system includes: Cage building, quality of feed and maintenance systems are critical factors in the success of laying hens. A good maintenance system, one of which relates to the size of the cage. A good sized cage can affect good circulation so that the livestock feel comfortable in the cage that can improve health and minimize demise. Good rations can affect the quality of eggs and egg production. Nowadays consumers have begun to pay attention to the quality of eggs so it should meet the criteria for proper consumption such as physical, microbiological and organoleptic quality. Nowadays shed buildings with traditional systems such as shed buildings and their equipment are often not in accordance with existing standards, causing high livestock production and death. One example of building innovation for a 500 hundreds laying hens requires a building area of ​​480 m (0.48 are) with a cage size of 4x12 and a height of 2.75m to 3m. Other requirements such as iron cages, nepel towers and others are a standard that must be obeyed, with the cost of 25 million for 500 hens (off land). In general, laying hens are mostly need feed mixing with a manual system so that it requires extra power and sometimes the mixed feed does not meet existing standards. This is due to obtaining feed ingredients from different places so that it can affect egg production and quality eggs that decline with an estimated production between 75% - 85% during peak spawning. Innovation of complete feeding can reduce labor and can increase production 85% to 90% at peak times. Besides that, the provision of complete feed can improve egg quality because in terms of nutrition is sufficient.

Maintenance analysis of 500 hens :

The area of ​​rearing 500 laying hens: 4m x 12m = 480m

* COST OF APPLIANCES

- Cost of building 4m x 12m enclosure (500 individuals): IDR. 25,000,000

- Battery cage, nepel, gutter, tower etc.: IDR. 14,000,000

- 500 pulet chickens @ 65,000 (18 weeks): IDR. 32,500,000.

 - Production age 21 weeks: 21 days x 60 kg x IDR.6,000: - IDR. 7,560,000.

* TOTAL COST: IDR. 79,060,000.

- Cage devaluation are estimated to be 79,060,000: 180 months: IDR. 439,000

* FEED, PRODUCTION, EGG PRICE AND SALES

- Feed costs: IDR. 6,000 x 60 kg /day / 500 animals x 30 days: IDR. 10,800,000 / month

- If production is 85%: 85 x 500 heads: 1275 eggs / month

- If the price of eggs is IDR 1,200 / item: 1275 x IDR 1,200 - IDR 15,300,000 / month

* PROFIT

- Sales / month - Feed costs / month - Depreciation IDR 15,300,000 - IDR.10,800,000 - IDR. 439,000

 Monthly nett profit = IDR. 4,061,000.

Maintenance of 500 hens with 85% production is the most possible picture done by novice farmers at this time. This is because the business analysis requires cost of less than 100 million rupiah. The difference in the maintenance of traditional laying hens compared to Innovation is very real. The level of production with normal conditions innovation gets 85% and the peak can reach 90%. In traditional farms the normal condition is 75% and the peak is 85%. This proves that science, technology and innovation are very important in various aspects of life.
