“…For Malawi, pond size was found to have a positive but insignificant influence on technical efficiency. The result supports earlier findings by Tung, Penda et al, Huy, Alam and Murshed-e-Jahan, and Ogundari and Ojo [51,[55][56][57][58].…”

“…Preliminary survey showed that despite the abundant production of some livestock feed materials like soya beans and maize, Benue State has not been able to meet up with the increase demand in poultry meat and egg. Benue State still depends on neighbouring States of Enugu and Plateau for her egg needs [14,15]. This huge market has been left for entrepreneurs from other States.…”

Tanzania endowed with abundant water resources with a huge potential to develop marine and freshwater aquaculture. Efficient utilization of these resources are required as the demand of fish is increasing with increase in the population of an average of 2.47% per year. Due to that, a gap between fish supply and demand is widening which in turn causes low fish protein supply leading to malnutrition. To bridge this gap, several strategies have been implemented by the government including fish importation to supplement fish shortage in country. However, this strategy seems to be unable to satisfy the fish demand of the large population due to high importation costs. Therefore, a review was conducted to explore recent aquaculture production in Tanzania, challenges and opportunities, different strategies implemented, as well as impacts in poverty alleviation. Several government reports and online-published papers were explored. Therefore, this review indicates a remarkable increased in fish production due to fish species diversification, government support and private sector investment. Hence, provide more opportunities to the people to be employed and earn money, as well as availability of protein from fish to improve their nutrition status. In addition, this review suggest some areas to be emphasized including; development of technology and investment in seeds and feeds production, investigation of alternative protein sources for fish, policies harmonization, and financing mechanism development.

The yields of eggs of various categories from modern highly productive crosses of chickens (SP-789, Lohmann LSL Classic, Lohmann Brown Lite) were studied. The comparative efficiency of the egg sale by weight and categories, the development of a pricing methodology are discussed. It was found that for the considered crosses the first category is the modal class or the class of the highest frequency of occurrence. The average weight, the cost of 1 g of egg weight, and the new selling price of eggs of the first category practically coincide with the average values of these parameters of the general set. The most economically feasible is the sale of edible eggs by weight. However, it requires additional financial investments for the purchase, installation, and maintenance of weighing equipment. In this regard, the author has developed and proposed a methodology for determining the single-piece price sale of eggs of different categories, which makes it possible to increase the income of an enterprise as compared to selling eggs by weight. According to the new methodology the selling price of the first category eggs is taken as a basis for assessing the selling price of eggs of other categories. This value is multiplied by the coefficients for the corresponding categories, which are calculated by dividing the new price of eggs of each category by the new price of eggs of the first category. These coefficients should be developed for each specific cross, taking into account the duration of the productive seasons and the conditions of the farms.
