摘要

摘要饲料是家禽生产的重要成本。我们评估了在尼泊尔家禽饲料工业中使用优质蛋白玉米（QPM）的成本降低效果。我们还评估了家禽饲料行业的市场结构。对饲料行业和玉米价值链中的参与者进行了关键信息人访谈和简短调查。我们使用线性规划模型为肉鸡和蛋鸡制定了一个成本最低的日粮，用普通玉米和QPM。结果表明，用QPM代替普通玉米生产一吨饲料，肉鸡的饲料成本至少降低了7.10美元，不同年龄层的饲料成本降低了4.71美元。通过节省成本，饲料行业可以为QPM支付比普通玉米最高4%的价格溢价。饲料行业和玉米价值链参与者之间需要建立强有力的联系，饲料行业才能从QPM的使用中可持续受益。

Cost Advantage of Biofortified Maize for the Poultry Feed Industry and Its Implications for Value Chain Actors in Nepal

Abstract Feed constitutes a significant cost of poultry production. We assess the cost-reducing effects of using Quality Protein Maize (QPM) in the poultry feed industry in Nepal. We also assess market structure of the poultry feed industry. Key informant interviews and short surveys were conducted with actors in the feed industry and maize value chain. We formulated a least-cost diet for broilers and layers with regular maize and QPM using a linear programing model. The results indicate that a ton of feed produced using QPM instead of regular maize reduces feed cost by at least US$7.10 for broilers and at least US$4.71 for layers of different ages. With the cost saving, the feed industry can pay a maximum of 4% price premium for QPM over regular maize. A strong linkage between feed industry and maize value chain actors is required for the feed industry to benefit sustainably from the use of QPM.
