Abstract:

The aim of the research was to estimate the efficiency of broiler meat production in Swaida, using a data envelopment analysis approach, through a questionnaire that targeted poultry owners for a random sample of 50% of the studied population, for the 2018 season, and the results showed: according to the CRS model, the average technical efficiency of broiler poultry in winter cycles was 71%, and only 8% of the sample domestication achieved 100% complete efficiency. And that the average technical competence of poultry in the summer courses was 86%, and that 14% of the sample domesticates achieved full efficiency. as for the VRS model: the average technical efficiency of broiler poultry in winter cycles was 79%, and only 17% of the sample poultry achieved full efficiency. While the average technical efficiency of broiler poultry in the summer session was 88%, and 23% of the sample poultry achieved full efficiency. whereas the se efficiency factor for the winter cycle was 0.9, it is clear that about 82% of the domesticated are subject to the increased return on capacity, while 9% are subject to the stability of the return on capacity, and 10% of the sample domesticated are subject to the decrease in return on capacity. Whereas in the summer operating cycles, the efficiency coefficient was se 0.98, and that about 42% of domestic animals are subject to the increased return on capacity, 19% are subject to stability of return on capacity, and 39% of sample domesticities are subject to decreasing return on capacity. The results also showed a surplus in all production inputs (chicks, bedding, water, coal, and feed) in the summer operating cycle, and the surplus cost for these entries was 5495.73 SP, 4659.3 SP, 16267.46 SP, 38458.52 SP, 98647.71 SP, respectively. in the winter employment cycle: there was also a surplus in all production inputs, and the surplus cost for these inputs was 25624.2 SP, 19000.34 SP, 6171.69 SP, 120253.7 SP, 98090.18 Sp, respectively.
