Abstract

Ismailia Governorate is considered a magnet for poultry production because of its distinguished location in the eastern Delta region. It supplies the cities of the Canal, Sinai and the Red Sea with what they need of poultry meat. The number of farms operating in Ismailia Governorate reached about 634 farms, representing about 2.95% of the total number of farms in Egypt. The research showed that the element of the amount of feed occupies the first place in terms of the moral effect on the quantity of broiler meat production, and the element of the number of chicks occupies the second place in terms of the moral effect on the amount of production of broiler meat, and then the element of human labor comes in the third place in terms of the moral effect on the quantity of production of broiler meat within all production capacities of the study sample in Ismailia Governorate, during the 2020 fattening season, and the feed component achieved the highest estimate of the productive elasticity factor, followed by the number of chicks, then the human labor component, and finally the litter quantity component, within each production capacities of the study sample. Finally, the recommendations: Producing unconventional fodder and low-cost feeds to reduce costs, and this is the role of scientific research and agricultural extension. Expansion of yellow corn and soybean production due to the instability of their global prices. Providing good breeds of chicks with high conversion rates, and at low price.
