Abstract

The study analyzed the profitability and effects of farm resources on broiler output in Nwangele Local Government Area of Imo State, South East Nigeria. A total of fifty broiler farmers were randomly selected from a list of 120 poultry farmers registered with Imo State Agricultural Development Programme Office. Data were collected using a set of structured questionnaire. Analytical tools used were descriptive statistical tools, net farm income and multiple regression models. Out of the three functional forms tried, double log model emerged as the lead equation because results indicated that 84% of the farmers used deep litter housing system in broiler production and 92% of them stocked 1000 birds or less in their farms. On the average, a farmer spent N289, 051.67 on purchase of variable inputs, out of which, cost of poultry feeds was N142, 405.34. A net income of N442,5281.36K was realized per annum which implied that broiler production is a profitable business. Multiple regression result indicated that stock size was positive and significant at 1% level while quantity of feeds used was significant at 5% but showed negative influence on broiler production. It is recommended that farmers should increase the number of day old chicks and reduce labour and quantity of feeds used in broiler production
