| Abstract | ||||
| The research aimed at studying the economic efficiency of sheep farming activity and the efficiency of the use of productive resources in various production capacities in Matrouh governorate under the available production conditions and the possibility of development and expansion of those activities to achieve agricultural development. The most important of which can be limited to the following: - The total costs of raising sheep per head in the sample of the study at the initial, second and third capacity amounted to about 2296, 2252, 2207.5 pounds per head each and reached the lowest in the third production capacity followed by the second and then initial production capacity respectively, and with a rate of rise of about 2.02%, 4% Compared to their third production capacity respectively. - The changing costs of raising sheep per head at the initial, second and third capacity amounted to about 2256, 2222, 2177.5 pounds each and reached the lowest in the third production capacity followed by the second and then the initial capacity of each, and with a rate of increase of about 2.04%, 3.6% compared to the third capacity each in a row. - The government's ability to meet the basic standards of the state of the economy is a major source of income. A- Net return: reached above in the third production capacity followed by the second capacity and then the initial with an average return of about 197, 71.8, 10.95 thousand pounds each for each of them respectively. B- Profitability of the pound spent: reached above in the third production capacity followed by the second capacity and then the initial capacity with an average of about 1.44, 1.32, 1.19 capacity production capacities respectively, and at a rate of change of about 21.11, 9.66% for the third production capacity compared to the initial capacity and second respectively, and at a rate of change It was about 10.44% of the second production capacity compared to the initial production capacity. -With regard to the estimation of the distributional efficiency of the productive capacities of sheep breeding, it was found to be about 0.859 for the third production capacity, followed by the second and initial capacity of 0.843, 0.819 each, respectively, which means that these resources operate efficiently at about 85.9, 84.3 and 81.9% each. The arrangement, and there is overuse of use decreases by increasing the size of the production capacity and in the case of the distribution of those resources used to produce the same amount of breeding for sheep, this leads to the provision of about 14.1, 15.7, 18.1% each of them in order of the total costs of resources used in production. - By estimating the economic efficiency of the production capacities of sheep breeding, it was found to be about 0.806 for the third production capacity, followed by the second and initial capacity with an average of about 0.767, 0.726 each respectively, meaning that it operates at an economic efficiency volume equivalent to about 80.6, 76.7, 72.6% of its capacity. Indicating a higher economic efficiency of the third capacity than the second and initial capacity. | ||||
