Abstract
Climate change impacted in livestock sector from up-stream, on farm production to down-stream and lead to threatened the performance layer farming and egg^s consumption. Research aimed to examine the profile of the Karangsuko Farm and its feasibility based on Break Even Point (BEP, Margin of Safety (MOS) and income of the Karangsuko Farm in both rainy and dry seasons. This farm respondent located at Bululawang Subdistrict, Malang Regency was selected by purposive sampling method with criteria that raising around 20,000 laying hens with more than 10 years experience in operating layer farm. Data collection was carried out from April to May 2024. Survey using structured questionnaire was applied to gather primary data, whereas secondary data was provided by Karangsuko Farm and related institutions. Descriptive and economic formulation techniques was applied to analyse the data involving profit, BEP and MOS. Results found that Karangsuko Farm represented a sustainability layer farm from upstream (having partnership with industry for pullet, feed, and medicine), on-farm (raising the superior strain lohmann platinum chicken) to downstream (developing customer relationships). The layer farm performance in dry season was better than those in rainy season in terms of return per Kg of eggs (IDR 24,780 vs. IDR 23,249), BEP per Kg of eggs (IDR 20,744 vs IDR 21,834) and MOS (12.99% vs. 10.83%), respectively.
