Abstract:
The research aimed to study the basic economic indicators of productivity and profitability in broiler breeding projects in Swaida region, located in Syria. Primary data obtained through a questionnaire that targeted broiler breeders in 2018, by sample size (total 104) broilers representing 50% of the studied statistical community. The results showed that the broiler projects at the sample level did not show economic feasibility in terms of all the economic indicators for the summer operating cycle, as indicated by the following indicators: Net income of 33346.7 SP/unit. And the value of the gross margin 318146.7 SP / And the slight rise in the ratio of revenues to the costs from the correct one. Which amounted to 1.004% and the operating ratio of 0.99% and the profitability of the Syrian Lira invested at 0.4%. And the analysis of financial indicators at the level of categories has been found that the third category with a production capacity of more than 7,500 birds showed all indicators of economic feasibility. These projects are economically viable and demonstrate the ability of these projects to pay their cash and non-monetary obligations. While the winter operating cycle showed unfeasibility of these projects, whether at the sample level or at the level of all studied categories. The study also recommended the need to pay attention to small production capacities, and try to merge them with each other and develop them to increase their profitability. It is preferable to go to the poultry farms with the largest production capacity (whose production capacity exceeds 7500 birds), especially after it became clear that the poultry with medium and small production capacities was not feasible.
