Abstract

PurposeThis study analyzed the state of broiler production in Senegal after nearly two decades of poultry import restrictions. It provides a synopsis of the Senegalese broiler value chain and evaluates the performance and economics of different broiler farm types.Design/methodology/approachA multi-stakeholder workshop and interviews were conducted with key informants to investigate the structure and activities of the Senegalese broiler value chain. The typical farm approach (TFA) was used to construct and analyze “typical” farms that represent the most common broiler production systems in Senegal.FindingsThe current situation in the Senegalese broiler value chain is favorable for hatcheries, feed mills, producers and poultry traders. However, the slaughterhouses are not faring well. The farm economic analysis demonstrates that typical medium-scale broiler farms are performing well, due to the use of high-quality feed, chicks and good husbandry. Additionally, the analysis revealed that feed and day-old chick (DOC) costs are the most significant in conventional broiler production in Senegal. Despite the high costs of feed and DOCs, broiler production is profitable for typical farms.Research limitations/implicationsAthough this study provides detailed insights into broiler farm economics in Senegal, it does not include typical integrated large-scale broiler farm-types. Based on our findings, we can predict that such farm types may be more efficient and have lower production costs due to the use of high-quality inputs (chicks and feed), and economies of scale. However, future studies will need to verify this prediction.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, only a few unpublished studies on broiler farm economics in Senegal exist. These studies only provide a basic analysis of the cost of production and profitability, with little consideration of various production systems. Contrastingly, this study provides a detailed economic analysis of different types of conventional broiler farms in key production regions.
塞内加尔肉鸡价值链和肉鸡生产经济分析:20年进口限制后的现状
本研究分析了塞内加尔近二十年家禽进口限制后的肉鸡生产状况。它提供了塞内加尔肉鸡价值链的概要,并评估了不同肉鸡农场类型的性能和经济性。设计/方法/方法与关键线人进行了多方利益相关者研讨会和访谈,以调查塞内加尔肉鸡价值链的结构和活动。典型农场方法(TFA)用于构建和分析代表塞内加尔最常见肉鸡生产系统的“典型”农场。塞内加尔肉鸡价值链的现状有利于孵化场、饲料厂、生产商和家禽贸易商。然而,屠宰场的情况并不好。农场经济分析表明,由于使用优质饲料、雏鸡和良好的管理,典型的中型肉鸡养殖场表现良好。此外,分析显示,饲料和日龄鸡(DOC)成本是塞内加尔传统肉鸡生产中最重要的成本。尽管饲料和doc成本很高,但肉鸡生产对典型农场来说是有利可图的。研究局限性/意义虽然本研究提供了塞内加尔肉鸡养殖场经济的详细见解,但它不包括典型的综合大型肉鸡养殖场类型。根据我们的研究结果,我们可以预测,由于使用高质量的投入品(雏鸡和饲料)和规模经济,这种农场类型可能效率更高,生产成本更低。然而,未来的研究将需要验证这一预测。原创性/价值据作者所知,只有少数未发表的关于塞内加尔肉鸡农场经济的研究。这些研究只提供了生产成本和盈利能力的基本分析,很少考虑到各种生产系统。相比之下,本研究对重点产区不同类型的传统肉鸡养殖场进行了详细的经济分析。
