Abstract

The poultry industry, especially broiler chickens, is considered as one of the most important agricultural production activities. On the one hand, it is considered one of the main sources of income inagricultural production in general and animal production inparticular. On the other hand, it is considered one of the main pillars in achieving food security policy as it is an important source of protein, which is characterized by its high nutritional value, low price and high food conversion factor compared to red meat. Poultry meat occupies the third rank in terms of nutritional value after red meat, dairy products and their products.Kame (2015)It enjoys a high acceptance rate among Egyptian consumers, as it covers part of the nutritional gap in animal protein resulting from the shortage in red meat production. Poultry meat is considered a rich and cheap source of animal protein in Egypt compared to red meat, as the percentage of protein in poultry meat represents 31% compared to 26% of red meat, 20% of fish. The poultry sector has received many forms of government support over a long period of time, and despite that, it depends directly on importing many inputsas feed and chicks, which contributes to the rise in their production costs.Johnston (1984)This sector is also characterized by the lack of integration of industrial links, so that there is no structural link between these links, which leads to the presence of many factors that affect it. The monetary value of poultry meat reached about 99.32 billion pounds in 2022, which represents about 37.27%, 13.37% of the total monetary value of the animal production sector, and the total agricultural production were about 266.5,742.5 billion L.E, respectively.
