Abstract

This study investigated the factors affecting the profitability of contract broiler chicken farmers in the poultry belt in Sri Lanka. One hundred contract (Buy Back) broiler producers in Kurunegala, Puttalam, Kalutara districts were randomly selected. The cost and return analysis of different sizes of out grower broiler producers were analyzed using the   profit function approach Quantitative variables such as feed conversion ratio (FCR), mortality (% per flock), input quantity and average body weight (kg/bird), involvement in broiler farming (hours/month) were used in the analysis. The investigated farmers were receiving a profit of 73.73 ± 3.54 Rs./bird.  The other parameters were; average body weight of 1.9982 ± 0.035 kg/bird, flock mortality of 3.564 ± 0.324 %, and the FCR of 1.8038 ± 0.017. Regression analysis revealed that most important factors significantly (p-0.05) affecting profit in this study were the feed conversion ratio, input quantity, body weight and flock mortality. The contracting company provided inputs such as day old chicks (DOC), Transport, and incentives such as transport incentives, bird return incentives to improve the productivity, extension services to improve quality of production. FCR and Body weight are depending on the quality of feed and environmental conditions. Therefore, it is advisable to increase the input quantity to get optimum profits and to reduce the operational costs.
斯里兰卡家禽带合同肉鸡生产者盈利能力影响因素的研究
本研究调查了斯里兰卡家禽带合同肉鸡养殖户盈利能力的影响因素。随机选择了库鲁内加拉、普特拉姆和卡鲁塔拉地区的100家合同(回购)肉鸡生产商。采用利润函数法对不同规模外生长肉鸡养殖户的成本和收益进行分析,采用饲料转化率(FCR)、死亡率(每群%)、投入量和平均体重(kg/只)、参与肉鸡养殖时间(小时/月)等定量变量进行分析。被调查农户的利润为73.73±3.54 rs /只。其他参数为;平均体重为1.9982±0.035 kg/只,群死亡率为3.564±0.324%,FCR为1.8038±0.017。回归分析显示,饲料系数、投入量、体重和鸡群死亡率对利润有显著影响(p-0.05)。承包公司提供了日龄雏鸡(DOC)等投入、运输和激励措施,如运输激励措施、禽鸟返回激励措施以提高生产率、推广服务以提高生产质量。饲料效率和体重取决于饲料质量和环境条件。因此,为了获得最优的利润,降低运营成本,增加投入是可取的。
