| Abstract | ||
| The research objective is to study the main feature of poultry sector in Egypt and determine the factors affecting poultry consumption, the study tried to specify the optimal scale of production per parlour of farms in Egypt based on a sample survey conducted in 2004 analysis revealed the second size (5000 - 10000 chick.s) as the most efficiency as rendering net revenue per 10000 chicks approaching 227.5 % , 141.3 % of the corresponding estimates for the first size (less than 5000 chick.s) and the third size more than 10000 chick.s respectively Production elasticity estimates proved the performance of the first size farms as the first economic stage indicating the possibility of raising efficiency for these farms by more intensive use of cnicxs and feed stuff. In general, the second and third size were found optimum. the producer can achieve more profits when they increase number of chicks, quantity of feed stuff, Farm labor number, they reach equality between value of marginal production and input price. | ||
