Abstract

This paper analyses the technical efficiency of poultry broiler production in Bangladesh from a sample of 100 poultry farmers selected from Savar and Dhamrai upazilla under Dhaka district and Bajitpur and Kuliarchar upazilla under Kishoreganj district. Stochastic parametric technique was used to analyse the technical efficiency of poultry farmers. Results show that among different input factors, doc size and feed input play crucial role in broiler output. Estimated mean technical efficiencies were 43%, 52% and 68% for small, medium and large farms respectively. The difference in the level of technical efficiency postulates the existence of further opportunities for broiler farmers to escalate their meat productivity and income through enhancements in their technical efficiency. Different observed socioeconomic variables related to farming experience, age, education, family size, training, credit, extension contact and regular medication are found to be negative and significantly related to technical inefficiency.
