Thus, to study the factors\nresponsible for explaining the largest percentage of the total variance using\nthe exploratory analysis. The research data based on a questionnaire that\nincluded problems according to the opinion of the\nbreeders during the season 2018. This questions targeted a random sample of 104\nbreeders, which were equivalent to 50% of the total statistical\nsize of the targeted community. The research sample consisted of the breeders\nof poultry sector in the province of Swaida. The analysis method based on the\nuse of the exploratory analysis, using the principal components method, and the\northogonal rotation of the axes in the Varimax method. The results showed that\nthere were four factors significantly combine the twelve study variables, where\nthese factors had an eigenvalue greater than one each, and they accounted for\n64.722% of the total variation. These factors represented feed problems,\nquality of the production requirements, quantity of chicks and increasing of\nfodder prices. Specifically, they explained about (19.385%, 18.736%, 13.374%\nand 13.226%) respectively of the total variance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key words:<\/strong> Exploratory factor analysis, Rotation, Varimax method, Poultry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Full Paper in Arabic: <a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/sjar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/v7n1p11.pdf\">PDF<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maya Al-Abdalla*(1) Safwan Abou Assaf(1) and Afraa Sallowm(2) (1).
