| Abstract | ||
| The poultry production sector has an important place among the sectors of animal production; as one of the main sources of animal protein in Egypt in general and in the new lands in particular, where this sector contributes an effective contribution in the value of livestock production in Egypt. The most important result, which this study had reached is that there are three independent variables which are: the number of chicks, the amount of feed and veterinary care. They are the most influential factor affecting positively on the quantity produced from broiler for the first and second output capacity, where the total production elasticity has reached about 1.1 and 0.9, respectively. This means that the first amplitude producers are working in the non-economic production stage that is considered as a first stage of production, which means that there is a good chance to increase the production of broiler by increasing input factors of production used to access the stage of economic production. The second production capacity of the producers is working in the economic production stage, meaning that there is a declining relationship earnings capacity. For the total sample, there are four independent variables are the number of chicks, the amount of feed, veterinary care and human labor. These factors are affecting more positively on the quantity produced from broiler where total production elasticity reached around 1.9, which means that the sample producers are working in non-economic production stage, which is considered the first stage of production. Therefore, there is a good chance to increase the production of broiler by increasing input factors of the production, which used to reach the stage of economic production in the New Valley Governorate. | ||
