    Impact Formula

    1kg chicken = 4300L water saved

    Compared to conventional poultry; water efficiency +72%

    1 egg = 200L water saved

    Efficient feed-to-protein conversion via frass-based compost

    Before vs After Comparison

    Traditional

    40% loss

    • High mortality from disease
    • Linear waste — no recycling
    • Low yield, inconsistent supply

    ICHIFAMA

    <5% loss

    • Biosecure management + monitoring
    • Closed-loop: waste + compost + frass fertilizer
    • Higher yield, stable supply

    Aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals

    “Since joining ICHIFAMA, our flock survival is now 96%. The compost program increased my soil yield and extra income from frass sale.”
