Abstract

ABSTRACT The poultry production model is an efficiently intensified small-scale production model. One of the best ways to measure the efficiency of poultry production is the feed conversion ratio (FCR). This study investigated factors that influence the FCR while considering spatial autocorrelations. A random sample of 320 broiler chicken farmers in Musanze district, northern Rwanda was collected and the Spatial Error Model (SEM) was used for analysis. Results revealed a spatial autocorrelation and relationships between FCR and some factors. This study advances our understanding of sustainable intensification and contributes to the design of future investments and interventions in broiler chicken production.

饲料转化率的空间分析——以卢旺达北部Musanze区肉鸡为例

摘要家禽生产模式是一种高效强化的小规模生产模式。衡量家禽生产效率的最佳方法之一是饲料转化率。本研究调查了在考虑空间自相关时影响FCR的因素。随机抽取卢旺达北部Musanze区320名肉鸡养殖户的样本，采用空间误差模型（SEM）进行分析。结果揭示了FCR与某些因素之间的空间自相关关系。这项研究加深了我们对可持续集约化的理解，并有助于设计肉鸡生产的未来投资和干预措施。
