Mainly in developing nations poultry is one of the rapid growing segments of agricultural economy; it has not only the nutritive value but also the short payback period; high benefit cost ratio. Regarding overall economics of production and marketing, only few research activities has been conducted. This study was conducted in Tulsipur Municipality of Dang district of Nepal within which Ashwar and Gahatey Khola with ward no. 08 and 09 respectively were studied as they host many poultry raisers. The objective was to scrutinize the socio-economic status, production efficiency, problems and supporting factors for poultry production and marketing. Benefit cost analysis, gross margin were statistically analyzed in order to determine the production efficiency. In terms of poultry loan utility, loan takers were higher as compared to non-loan taker in the study area. In terms of gross margin, there was no any significant difference between the per bird (layers) gross margin of Gahatey Khola and the Ashwar. Per bird and per kg gross margin of broilers of Ashwar was found significantly higher than the Gahatey Khola. The benefit cost ratio of Ashwar was found higher than Gahatey Khola in terms of layers production. The benefit cost ratio of broiler production per bird as well as per Kg body weight was found higher in Ashwar than Gahatey Khola respectively which signifies good profitability of broiler production in Ashwar area as compared to Gahatey Khola. Broilers or layers in terms of enterprise, numbers of labors and amount of loan taken have been found to significantly affect the level of revenue garnered from the business. The study finally asserted that layers were the most lucrative enterprise in both the study area.
