Economic Study of Used Non Traditional in Livestock Fattening Farms in Kalubia Governorate

Document Type : Researches

Abstract

The livestock is regarded as one of the main crops, which through it the Egyptian agricultural production can stand. And its importance appears in the rising of the total value of the Egyptian agricultural production, which reached “101.4” billion pounds, which represent 40.6 ٪ of the total agricultural production value. This research has been performed for the purpose of study the economical effect for both, conventional and noncom ventional methods. And to study also the effect of these methods on the efficiency of using the available diets recourses. And this may happen through studying feeding costs, meat and milk production rates and its influence on the value added of the farmers. The study depends on data collected from stratified random sample of Broiler farms in Kalubia governorate in 2012. Also, the study depend on descriptive analysis, multiple regression have been applied to estimate the production functions. In respect of average costs of daily feeding of fattened calf of buffalos, appears that it’s decreasing in the groups “second” and “third”. As the decreasing in the third group reached “24.7%, 13.52%”, comparing with the other groups. And the decreasing reached about “12.9%” in the second group. Average costs of daily feeding of fattened calf of buffalos reached “14.27, 12.43, 10.75” pound/head of animal for the three groups. In respect of average costs of daily feeding of fattened calf of veal, appears that it’s decreasing in the groups “second” and “third”. As the decreasing in the third group reached “24.41%, 16.84%”, comparing with the other groups. And the decreasing reached about “9.11 ٪” in the second group. Average costs of daily feeding of fattened calf of buffalos reached “13.96, 11.4, 12.35” pound/head of animal for the three groups. In respect of fattening buffalos calf, it’s estimated that, the net profit is about, “1426.02, 2052.75, 2769.85” pounds for each animal in the three groups. Which show the increasing in the net return on fattened buffalo’s calf farms, in the two groups, the second and the third one. According to producer unit costs estimation, it has reached nearly “12.2, 11.03, 9.68” pounds for the three groups. In respect of fattening veal calf, it’s estimated that, the net profit is about, “620.057, 1116.71, 2575.49” pounds for each animal in the three groups. Which show the increasing in the net return on fattened buffalo’s calf farms, in the two groups, the second and the third one. According to producer unit costs estimation, it has reached nearly “14.27, 13.13, 10.47” pounds for the three groups.
