Abstract
Summary and Conclusion
The private sector poultry farms ( for meat and egg
production are considered one of the most important
enterprises with respect to their tangible contribution to
the national economy. The government of Egypt has been
doing every effort possible to expand and develop the
poultry farms, with the aim of bridging the gap between
production and consumption.
In 1986 the total number of the fattned chickens in
Egypt amounted to 288 millions, (about 360 thousand tons),
87 \ of which were produced in lower Egypt. In 1985
poultry products imports amounted to 56 thousand tons at
L.E. 925 per ton , whereas local consumption was
estimated at 437 thousand tons. The gap was 77 thousand
tons.
In 1986 egg production reached 4700 millions, most of
this production came from lower Egypt. Poultry production
represents a major component of livestock production
income. It contributed apprOXimately 20.52 \ of the
livestock production cash value In 1984 .
Kallobla governorate contributes 2 \ of the total
pOUltry production cash value. In Kallobia, the licenced
farms for fatteninq chicken have amounted to 4056 unit
( according to 1986 census ).
This study includes four chapters. The first chapter
presented poultry production In Egypt and in Kaliobia and
refered to four important studies in this field . It has
also dealt with the research problem, objectives, research
methodology, and sources of data.
The second chapter is divided into three parts. The
first part includes fattening ( meat ) chickens production
in Kaliobia and gives analysis of production functions of
farm size ( farms of 5000 checken per cycle ). The second
part presents cost of production and cost functions. The
third part presents analysis of factors which affect
the net revenue by estimating the profItabIlity functions
of different farm sizes.
The third chapter contains four parts. The fIrst
part dealt with fattened chickens marketing in Kallobia.
The second part presented the marketing system. The third
part discussed the marketing services. Whereas , the
fourth part dealt with the marketing costs and marketing
margins. The fourth chapter presented the research
summary, conclusions and the recommendations.
This study proved that the existence of a significant
impact of both feed quantity and mortality ratio on liVing
chickens production. The analysis of cost of production
functions of the pOUltry farms in Kaliobia for 3
different production Sizes, 5000 , 10000 and 15000
chickens per cycle } revealed that the production for the
three mentioned sizes were 25, 36 and 68 thousand
chickens respectively. Average production cost per 1000
chickens amounted to L.B 2360 , L.E 2105 and L.B 2091

respectively , whereas the optImum production reached
36.99 , 46.24 and 74.6 tons of living chickens In the
three sizes respectively.
The average profit achieved in each farm size per
year was L.E: 4613 for the first size. Average profit
”for the second size amounted to L.E. 10911.7 per year. As
to the third sizes average profit per year was L.E. 6991.
This study also revealed that the average of
marketing costs in the period ( 1984 - 1966
piastres per kilogram of livechickens.
were 21.2
Cost of marketing has increased during the summer
time. The price per kilogram was L.E. 2.33 in Oena and
L.E. 1.56 in Kaliobia. Average price per kilogram in Egypt
in 1986 has amounted to L.E. 1.85 .
Analysis of the monthly prices of the local chickens
revealed the existence of a significant difference among
mpnths and cities. Toki test proved a statistical
significant differences at 0.05 level in consumer’s price
in October when compared with both January and Febraury ~~
p;rices of 1966.
There was a signifIcant difference among Kallobla and
Alexandria, Assuit,and Qena. Also a significant difference
~s proved among Qena and North Sinai, Alexandria, Suez
a~d Hatrouh.

There was a positive relationship between dIstance
and price (each 0.14 kilometer of distance led to an
increase of one piastre per kilogram ). Cost of marketing
in lower Egypt recorded remarkable decline because lower
Egypt was an area of production surplus.
