“…The success in the poultry industry depends on the ability of producers to control broiler feed costs. The results of the current experiment agreed with other studies 19,27,28 . It is a great financial advantage to the poultry producer to cut and replace the starter period with the finisher period 6 .…”

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the utilization of alternative protein feed ingredients including sunflower meal (SFM), corn gluten meal (CGM), and dried distillers’ grains with solubles (DDGS) as a mixture in a partial replacement of soybean meal (SBM) in broiler finisher diets with different protein levels and also to evaluate their effect on birds’ performance, environmental aspects of litter, cecal microbes, and economic prospects. A total of 576 (19 days old) Cobb 500 broiler chicks were fed eight finisher diets consisting of 4 control (CTL) diets based on SBM with different crude protein (CP) levels (CTL21, CTL20, CTL19, and CTL18, containing 21%, 20%, 19%, and 18% CP, respectively) and 4 test diets with alternative protein sources (APS21, APS20, APS19, and APS18, containing 21%, 20%, 19%, and 18% CP, respectively) using a 15% combination of alternative protein sources (2.5% CGM, 5% SFM, and 7.5% DDGS) until 35 days of age. The results indicated that birds fed test diets APS21 and APS20 recorded the highest (P < 0.05) body weight compared to other treatments, but it was not different than the CTL diets fed at these CP levels. The birds fed CTL18 or APS18 recorded the worst feed conversion ratio (FCR) compared to other treatments. Moreover, birds fed test diet containing APS21 recorded better (P < 0.05) European performance efficiency factor and better economic efficiency when compared to other treatments, but it was not different than CTL21. In addition, birds fed diets APS21 and CTL19 showed significantly increased litter Lactobacillus spp. (P < 0.05) compared to other treatments. Cecal Lactobacillus spp. and Escherichia coli (E. coli) were not affected by CTL or APS diets. The counts of cecal Salmonella spp. increased in the CTL21 group compared to other groups. In conclusion, alternative feed ingredients (protein sources) in broiler finisher diets have positive effects in a sustainable way on the productive performance, litter and cecal microbial counts, and improved economic efficiency when compared to CTL diets.

“…Success in business is mostly determined by the skills of business persons to control the cost of production. For fine tuning of the poultry business farmers especially with reference to profitability broiler farmers/researchers need to assess the contribution of each management factor for competing in international markets where the profit margins are decreasing (Ceveger and Yalcin, 2003). Increase in production efficiency of broiler farms is mainly due to advancement in equipment and housing technology.…”

This study was planned to assess the profitability of broiler farming in environment controlled houses in and around Faisalabad. Price of chicks, cost of labor, feed, building, flock, medicine, vaccination, disinfection on the profit of the broiler producer were investigated. A questionnaire was developed to collect required information and data were collected through formal interviews by visiting, 35 broiler flocks raised in environment control houses. In the study area average flock size was 29210 birds with 471 x 46.91 average dimensions having a stocking density of 0.74 square feet and average cost of day old chick amounted to Rs. 45 (study was carried out during the second quarter of 2014) which accounted 33.30% of total cost. Cost of finisher feed (Rs. 53.50) established the maximum share of the total cost, accounting for 44.10% while cost of starter feed contributed 10.21% of total cost. Cost of vaccination and medication was 3.11% while the cost of labor accounted for 4.00% of total cost. Further stuffs such as repair and management cost, fuel, bills, feeders, drinkers and litter cost contributed <2% to total cost of production. The average net return gained by the farmers were Rs. 65000 per flock of 30000 birds. Economic indicators values viz. rate of returns on investment (%) 33.50, rate of return on variable cost (%) 140, rate of return on fixed cost (%) 430 with a capital turnover of about 1.50 and profitability index of about 0.30.

“…Productivity analysis and determination of return of scale in broiler production after estimating Cobb-Douglas type production function has been investigated by Sakarya (1990). Regression model as a quantitative model to determine factors affecting profits of broiler enterprises has been used by Cevger and Yalcin, 2002). Profit function is used with the aim of selection in dairy (Andrus and McGillard, 1975;Gill and Allaire, 1976;Stott and Delorenzo, 1988), commercial layer and breeding layer enterprises (Pribylova et al, 1996).…”

Problem statement: Layer hen enterprises suffer from low profitability or losses in many of developing countries all over the world. Jordan is not an acceptance. Approach: This study aimed at investigating the influence of ten main factors affecting the profitability of layer hen producers. The investigated factors include price of purchased pullet, feed price, cost of labor, cost of veterinary service and medicine, building and machinery depreciation, repairs and maintenance and miscellaneous costs, length of production cycle, feed conversion ratio, mortality rate, egg sale price and laying percentage. Results: The study used a multiple regression profit model to estimate the effect of the above mentioned factors on profit per kg egg produced. The direction and quantity of relationship between profit per kg egg and variables affecting profit were investigated. Data from 40 operating and randomly selected egg production enterprises in the country was collected. Data was obtained directly from the producers during April to mid August 2010. Semi structured interviews were conducted with a pre-tested questionnaire. The data obtained via interview surveys were processed to calculate profit per kg egg and other relevant information for inclusion in a profit function model. Fifteen eggs are registered to be 1 kg in the study. Cost and income items used to calculate profit in the study. The results of the study revealed that the feed price was found to be the factor which has the highest negative impact on the profitability showing the coefficient-3.01. The egg sale price was with high positive impact on profitability showing the coefficient 2.633. Conclusion/Recommendations: From the results of the study it could be concluded that higher prices of purchased or breeding pullet, higher feed price, higher cost of labor, higher cost of veterinary service and medicine, higher other costs including building and machinery depreciation, repairs and maintenance and miscellaneous costs, higher feed quantity to be converted to eggs and higher mortality rate are associated with lower profitability of laying hen enterprises, while higher length of production cycle, higher egg sale price and higher laying percentage are associated with higher profitability. Critical limits indicated for various cost components should be used as a guideline to adjust budget in commercial egg operation thereby, ensuring higher net profit per bird.
