Abstract

The research aimed to identify the most important factors affecting broiler production and study the current status of broiler production in Egypt and Gharbia Governorate. Addition to the standard estimation of production and cost functions, estimation of production and economic efficiency indicators, and determination of the volume of production that maximizes profits and minimizes costs in different production capacities in the study sample. The results of the study indicate that most important production inputs affecting broiler production in Gharbia Governorate are represented by: number of chicks, amount of feed, number of dead. and from the results the total production elasticities, it was found that farms of the first and second capacities operate in the first stage of the production function stages, and the third and fourth capacities operate in the second stage, The actual production volume of chickens was also estimated at the first, second, fourth capacities about 64.55, 105.16, 258.59 tons/year, and size of the civilian production costs about 71.80, 94.27, 398.57 tons/year, while the bulk production volume reached for profits about 82, 103.05, 576.67 tons/year In order.
The research recommends the necessity of increasing the feed in the third capacity and rationalizing it in the first and fourth, increasing the chicks in all capacities (full housing), rationalizing the dead bird in all capacities, expanding farms with a capacity (more than20 thousand birds) due to the economic and productive efficiency achieved through large production. (Capacity savings), and farms with a capacity (10 to less than 15 thousand birds).
