The study compared the allocative efficiency and profitability of poultry-egg farmers in Jos metropolis of Plateau State, Nigeria, across different scales. To select 143 respondents, a two-stage sampling technique was used.   Using well-structured questionnaire and interview schedules, primary data on socioeconomic variables were collected. Collected data were analyzed using budgetary technique and stochastic production frontier model. Result of allocative efficiency showed the following: The mean allocative efficiency of the small, medium and large scales was 0.68, 0.12 and 0.11 respectively; the minimum allocative efficiency for small, medium and large scales was 0.30, 0.10 and 0.10 respectively. The maximum allocative efficiency was 0.59, 0.18 and 0.11 respectively for small, medium and large scale farmers. The profitability result indicated that egg production for small, medium and large-scale farms was profitable in the study area with N675, 671.79, N4, 897,236.09 and N16, 327,633.66 per farmer. The rate of return on investment per bird was found to be 19.51%, 31.21% and 83.13% respectively for small, medium and large farm sizes. For small, medium and large-scale farmers respectively, the capital turnover per bird was N 1.20, N1.31 and N1.83. Also, the profitability indices for the small, medium and large scales are N0.16, N0.24 and N0.45. The study recommends that; Farmers should be advised to increase production from small scale to large scale through policies that will promote such, special intervention is needed from the government at all levels through farmers’ cooperatives in the area of inputs subsidy, price efficiency of the farmers could

The aim of the study presented in this paper was to compare the reproductive qualities of laying hens of the parent flock of the ROSS 308 cross when using manual and automatic egg collection. The experimental part was carried out in the production conditions of a separate subdivision “Novosafonovskaya poultry farm” of Kuzbass Broiler LLC on laying hens of the parent flock of the ROSS 308 cross at the age of 155-435 days. The use of automatic nests for collecting hatching eggs did not affect the intensity of egg production, but contributed to an increase in the yield of hatching eggs due to a decrease in the culled eggs because of egg contamination, breakage, cracked shell and others. A decrease in the number of cleaned eggs among the hatching eggs contributed to an increase in the hatching of chicks and, as a consequence, an increase in the yield of day old chicks per initial layer by 11.9 heads or 8.5%.

The article presents the results of studying the structure of poultry morbidity in industrial goose-breeding enterprises: LLC "Poultry farm Kimovskaya" of the Republic of Mari El, LLC "Vurnarets" and OJSC "Brood poultry farm" Urmarskaya "of the Chuvash Republic. All three goose-breeding enterprises during the analyzed period of time were epizootologi-cally safe farms for infectious and invasive poultry diseases. It has been shown that the largest per-centage of diseases of non-infectious etiology in geese are metabolic diseases – up to 94.6 % and of the digestive system – up to 63.3 %, a high proportion of diseases of the egg production system – up to 40.2 %, which is due to the absence of veterinary treatment of poultry preventive measures against these diseases, and the low level of avitaminosis is explained by the active use of vitamin preparations in poultry farms. Most of the diseases occur in young animals: from 76.6 to 97.0 %, among broodstock the incidence in different years ranged from 3 to 23.4 %. Adjustment of thera-peutic and prophylactic treatment schemes for poultry, introduction of modern veterinary drugs can significantly reduce the incidence of non-communicable diseases in geese.

An econometric model for the Finnish egg industry was derived in this study to provide information concerning the impact of alternative price policies on the development of the egg industry for price policy analyses. The basic model specified in this study is an eight-equation model including distributed lag formulations and consisting of three different blocks. The basic assumption behind the model specification is that the price levels of eggs are mainly determined by the target price level (set up by the government) and the domestic market situation. Producers are assumed to respond to changes in the producer price of eggs and in the other factors influencing the profitability of egg production. The basic model was estimated on the basis of semiannual observations from period 1956-70. In addition, the stability of the coefficients of production equations in the model over the years was tested by using the stepwise regression method. The structure of the basic model was evaluated by means of deterministic simulations to gain some idea of the model’s ability to simulate the actual development of the egg industry. Both historical simulations and ex-post forecast simulations were conducted and the »goodness of fit» was tested by the use of Theil’s inequality coefficients and graphical examinations. The basic model was also used for analyzing the price policy pursued by the government in period 1956-70 in order to illustrate the type of analyses that can be conducted by the basic model. An alternative policy mix consisting of the target price system for maintaining the domestic market balance and the direct payment scheme for attaining the income target of producers was defined. Given the assumptions made in this study this policy mix would have been a more effective policy tool from the standpoint of society for attaining the policy goals than the target price system as implemented in that period. Similar conclusions can be also drawn from the results of the ex-post price policy simulations, in which the target price level was assumed to be used for adjusting the domestic egg production gradually to the domestic consumption. Also in this alternative the government was assumed to bear the burden of attaining the income target of producers in the system by the use of direct payments. However, we must point out that results depend on the assumptions necessary for computations of this type.

Salmonellosis is one of the most common and widely distributed food-borne diseases. It constitutes a major public health burden and represents a significant cost in many countries. Salmonella are known for its wide range host and can cause clinical diseases in some hosts while in others, can be asymptomatic. Poultry and eggs are considered as major sources for different pathogenic Salmonella serotypes. Eggs produced locally under the small scale layer farm may present a hazard to consumers which may increase the spread of Salmonella in the environment. To investigate the occurrence of Salmonella, a total of 72 samples were taken from 6 poultry farm in some selected areas of Bangladesh. Sampling program was executed between October and December, 2013 and samples were tested using standard laboratory methods. Data was collected through direct interview and structured questionnaire. Our study shows that, true prevalence of Salmonella in egg shell and egg contents were 0.093% and 0.068% respectively. The highest apparent prevalence in Udayan poultry farm (50%) and lowest in Liza poultry farm (16.67%). The average frequency of egg shell contamination is positively correlated with re-use of egg tray without disinfection. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first investigation on Salmonella spp. in selected local egg production farms in Chittagong. Further detail study is highly recommended.International Journal of Natural Sciences (2015), 5(2) 66-72

Present study was carried out to evaluate the hatching and growth performances of guinea fowls (Numida meleagris) kept under intensive rearing system at the Bangladesh Agricultural University Poultry Farm, Mymensingh. To develop a base population of guinea fowls at BAU Poultry Farm, a good number of hatching eggs were collected from different regions of the country. In first phase, the physical features of hatching eggs, their incubation period, care and handling of eggs during incubation, their fertility and hatchability were investigated. Eggs were hatched in a home incubator incubator at BAU Poultry Farm. In second phase, brooding management of the keets, growth performances, prevention and control of diseases and mortality of the birds were observed. All the activities were performed at the Laboratory of Poultry Science and the Poultry Farm of Bangladesh Agricultural University. Brooding of keets was performed under full intensive system in a littered floor. Broiler starter feed was supplied during the brooding period. Results showed that the shape of egg was top like and both white and spotted cream color shell was found. The average egg weight was 38g per egg and shell thickness was 0.52 mm. The incubation period was 28 days. Fertility and hatchability on set eggs were 80 and 68%, respectively. Dead in shell and dead in germ were 15 and 4%, respectively. The average day-old keet weight was 25.8 g. Average feed intake per bird per day during 0-4, 5-8 and 9-11 weeks of age were 10.22, 30.91 and 52.6 g with the feed conversion ratios were 3.25, 3.05 and 2.88, respectively. The keet’s mortality up to 11 weeks was 10%. Economic feasibility should be taken into consideration with the observation of egg production and other associated parameters keeping guinea under complete free-range rearing system.Progressive Agriculture 27 (1): 70-77, 2016

Pertumbuhan penduduk usia produktif di Indonesia yang tidak diimbangi dengan ketersediaan lapangan kerja yang cukup, menyebabkan bertambahnya angka pengangguran. Pemerintah menggalakkan program wirausaha sebagai solusi dari peningkatan pengangguran. Salah satu wirausaha yang mempunyai prospek cukup baik adalah peternakan bebek petelur. Sebagai bahan pokok, permintaan telur bebek di pasaran relatif stabil. Program kemitraan masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk mengefisienkan waktu pembuatan tepung kepala udang sebagai komponen pakan yang paling penting dalam produksi telur bebek. Proses pembuatan tepung kepala udang yang dilakukan warga Maros selama ini terdiri dari 4 tahap yaitu: 1) Perebusan kepala udang, 2) Penjemuran kepala udang, 3) Penggilasan dan 4) penghalusan. Program kemitraan masyarakat ini menggunakan metode research and development. Hasil yang diperoleh dari pelaksanaan program ini yaitu : 1) efisiensi waktu mulai dari pengeringan kepala udang sampai pembuatan tepung kepala udang dari 2 hari menjadi 10 jam, 2) mitra dapat mengoperasikan mesin tepung dan memanfaatkan teknologi, 3) kapasitas produksi tepung udang meningkat karena waktu produksi tepung semakin pendek, 4) laba usaha meningkat sebesar Rp 14.230 atau 47,43% dan aliran kas bersih meningkat menjadi Rp 44.230 atau 73,72% karena biaya pakan bisa ditekan. Kata kunci: Mesin Penghalus, Dry Home, Pakan Bebek. Abstract The growth of the productive age population in Indonesia that is not matched by the availability of sufficient employment opportunities, causes an increase in unemployment. The government is promoting the entrepreneurship program as a solution to increasing unemployment. One entrepreneur that has good prospects is laying ducks. As a staple, demand for duck eggs on the market is relatively stable. This community partnership program aims to streamline the time to make shrimp head flour as the most important feed component in duck egg production. The process of making shrimp head flour made by Maros residents so far consists of 4 stages, namely: 1) Boiling shrimp heads, 2) Shrimp head drying, 3) Milling and 4) fineness. This community partnership program uses research and development methods. The results obtained from the implementation of this program are: 1) time efficiency from drying the shrimp head to making shrimp head flour from 2 days to 10 hours, 2) partners can operate the flour machine and utilizing technology, 3) shrimp flour production capacity increases due to shorter flour production time, 4) operating profit increased by Rp. 14,230 or 47.43% and net cash flow increased to Rp. 44,230 or 73.72% due to reduced feed costs. Keywords: Disk Mill, dry Home, Duck Farm,

В статье рассмотрены состояние и перспективы развития животноводства, основные отраслевые направления функционирования агропромышленного комплекса Тюменской области.Проанализированоналичие поголовья и продуктивность сельскохозяйственных животных и птицы.В течение последних лет регион самостоятельно обеспечивает себя основными продуктами питания — мясом, молоком, яйцом, хлебом и овощами. По итогам 2015 года, регион находился на 1 месте по среднегодовой яйценоскости кур,на 2 — среди регионов Уральского федерального округа по удою молока на 1 корову в сельскохозяйственных организациях, а также на 2 месте по объемам выращивания товарной рыбы.В 4 хозяйствах области успешно используется роботизированная система доения коров. Племенная база крупного рогатого скота молочного направления продуктивности представлена 12 предприятиями, из которых 5 племзаводов по разведению черно-пестрой породы со средней продуктивностью 6451 кг молока и 7 племрепродукторов по разведению голштинской породы с продуктивностью 6982 кг молока и 4 племрепродуктора, разводящие мясной скот. С 2012 года для осеменения применяется сексированное семя, в связи с этим рассматривается необходимость качественной переподготовки специалистов в сочетании с привлечением и закреплением в сельскохозяйственном производстве молодых кадров. Правительство Тюменской области создает благоприятные условия для привлечения инвестиций. Общий объем государственной поддержки, оказываемой предприятиям агропромышленного комплекса, превышает 6 млрд руб. в год. Экономическая эффективность животноводства Тюменского региона требует не только четкого соблюдения  производственных процессов, но и государственного участия в стимулировании производства и привлечения инвесторов.The article discusses the state and development of animal husbandry, the main sectoral areas of functioning of the agro-industrial complex of the Tyumen region. Analyzed the presence of livestock and productivity of farm animals and poultry. In recent years, the region has independently supplied itself with basic foodstuffs - meat, milk, eggs, as well as bread and vegetables. At the end of 2015, the region was in first place for the average annual egg production of laying hens, in second place among the UFO regions for milk production per cow in agricultural organizations, and also in second place in terms of commercial fish production. In 4 farms of the region, a robotic milking system for cows is successfully used. The breeding base of dairy cattle is represented by 12 enterprises, of which 5 breeding plants for breeding black-and-white breed with an average productivity of 6451 kg of milk and 7 breeding producers with a productivity of 6982 kg of milk, 4 breeding producers breeding beef cattle. Since 2012, sexing seed has been used for insemination, and therefore the need for high-quality retraining of specialists, combined with the involvement and retention of young professionals in agricultural production, is being considered. The government of the Tyumen region creates favorable conditions for attracting investment. The total amount of state support provided to enterprises of the agro-industrial complex exceeds 6 billion rubles a year. The economic efficiency of animal husbandry in the Tyumen region requires not only strict adherence to production processes, but also state participation in stimulating production and attracting investors.
