Activities

Interactive Broiler Income Spreadsheet - IBIS website
IBIS was developed at the University of Arkansas as an unbiased tool for potential and current poultry growers to use as they make decisions regarding the potential for profitability of broiler production. The program allows growers to more accurately estimate revenues and expenses based on their unique farm situation. The IBIS tool will not substitute for competent managerial decisions and financial advice, nor should it be viewed as the absolute predictor of success or failure of an operation. It is merely one of many tools available to assist you in your production operation.
