Abstract

Animal production is considered one of the main activities of the agricultural sector, due to the fact that it is the primary source of animal protein, which is a necessary element needed by humans. Also, poultry production is one of the main aspects of the sources of income from animal production, and rabbit meat is considered a suitable alternative to meat for the consumer, as it reached The value of meat production from rabbits is about 2.5 billion pounds, representing about 0.50%, 1.33%  and 5.34% of the value of agricultural production.    The problem of the study was the shortage of animal protein suffered by most of the population of Egypt, which leads to the trend towards the development of livestock, which includes rabbit production projects as a solution to the meat crisis in Egypt, by increasing production, And increase the productivity of existing farms, and raise their economic efficiency, due to the enormous economic and productive advantages they carry. The most important research findings were as follows: By studying the production functions of licensed and unlicensed rabbit production farms in the double logarithmic form and by estimating the return on production capacity by calculating the elasticity coefficient of total production of the most important elements affecting rabbit production, it amounted to about 1.3, 1.02 for licensed and unlicensed farms, which indicates an increased production capacity (first stage of Production according to the law of diminishing returns) Which necessitates increasing production and operating the production elements more efficiently to reach the economic stage, and the results of the financial and economic evaluation of these farms were as follows: Productive and economical of the project, The payback period was about 1.20, 1.07 years for both licensed and unlicensed farmers, and the rate of return on investment was about 1.52, 1.38  for both licensed and unlicensed farms, and the profitability index was about 2.20, 2.07, which reflects the profitability of licensed and unlicensed rabbit farms, respectively. Thus, the study recommends that attention be paid to rabbit breeding and production projects, given the profitability of these projects, the speed of the capital cycle, and work to increase the productivity of existing farms to increase investor income and to bridge the nutritional gap from animal protein in Egypt.
