“…The results presented in Table 1 indicate that DOC and feed become the major driver of broiler farms production. The results of this study are consistent with several studies such as Akhter & Rashid (2008); Ohajianya et al (2013), and Ezeh et al (2012) where DOC and feed are an influential factor in production. The results also in line with the research conducted by Pakage et al (2014) that revealed the number of DOC was the most influential factor of production of broiler farms with closed house cage system.…”

Contractual arrangements of different types have increasingly found in West Sumatera not only in subsistence and commercial crops but particularly also in livestock sector. Contract farming in livestock agribusiness is generally defined as broiler farms under an agreement between farmers and a livestock inputs supplier. Within this broad definition, there are different variants of contracts depending on the formality and intensity of contractual arrangement. This study objective was to prove that the design of a contract, as representation of vertical integration intensity in broiler agribusiness, has different efficiency effects on production. The stochastic frontier production function was used in this study, and employed a regression method to estimate the level of technical efficiency. Data were collected from 87 broiler fattening farms consisted of 50 broiler fattening farms under formal contractual system and 37 broiler fattening farms under informal contractual system. The results showed that farm experience and improvement of the contract system would reduce the level of technical inefficiency of broiler farms. The study concluded that broiler farms under formal and detail contract farming had greater technical efficiencies compared to broiler farms under informal unwritten contract arrangement. However, the broiler farms under informal contract obtained higher net returns compared to the broiler farms under formal contract arrangement.

“…Despite the nutritional value of poultry meat and egg, the production in the country is very insufficient, as reflected by the wide interval between supply and demand of the products (Ohajinya et al, 2013). Local demand for poultry products in Nigeria is about 1.5 million tonnes.…”

The study investigated the investment patterns, costs and return structures of the layer and broiler production in Osun State, Nigeria. It also compared their net present value in the study area to determine their investment returns. A multistage sampling technique was employed in selecting respondents for the study. Primary data were collected from 180 broiler and layer farms, comprising 90 broiler farms and 90 layer farms from six local governments in Osun State using a structured questionnaire. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, budgetary techniques and investment tools. The investment pattern indicated that a larger amount of money was invested in capital assets for small-scale layers (₦651,274.5) compared to broilers (₦448,068.6). Personal saving was the major source of funding among the small-scale layer enterprises compared to that of broiler enterprises. In addition, the survival of re-investment in small-scale layers depends largely on funds from family members while the smallscale broiler enterprise depends on retained earnings. The budgetary analysis showed that the gross margin of the farmers was ₦166,321.8 and ₦1,150,470.8 for broiler and layer enterprises, respectively. Investment analysis revealed that the layer enterprise had a higher positive net present value (NPV) and the internal rate of return (IRR) value of ₦1,523,692.6 and 64.9 per cent, respectively. In contrast, the broiler enterprise had lower positive NPV and IRR values of ₦961,173.3 and 63.0 per cent, respectively. The study concluded that the small-scale layer enterprise was found to be more economically profitable compared to the smallscale broiler enterprise with higher NPV and IRR values and a shorter discounted payback period in Osun State.

“…In addition to its contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and provision of employment opportunities, poultry production is a major source of protein in the country. Poultry farming is an important agribusiness enterprise that has a great potential for providing additional income to our farming community and educated unemployed persons of the rural areas through creating self employment opportunities (Ohajianya, Mgbada, Onu, Enyia, Henri-Ukoh, Ben-Chendo and Godson-Ibeji, 2013). Due to the high population growth in Africa and growing income, the demand for eggs and poultry meat has significantly increased in recent years across large parts of the continent (World Health Organization 2010).…”
