An Economic Analysis of Boultry Production Cost in Anbar Province

Abstract

It has been shown that ensilager ranke first in the cost of one K.G. of checken (Boultry) ie a bout 57% of the total cost, followed by the cost of checks which represented 17% of the total cost .it was clear that winter is characterized by an increase in the cost of one k.g. of boultry in comparison with other seasons.Function of production cost per season have been estimated since winter is significantly different regarding the cost of one k.g. of meat from other season , it has been isolated from other season with a special function for winter and another for other season.Cost cubic function was significant in expressing the relationship between the total cost and production per batch during the year of the conducting of this study and other different seasons. statistical tests showed the significance of the function. It has appeared from the factor determining R2 that more than 97% of the change in production cost were due to the illustrative variable of the estimated functions.Cost function have been economically analyzed to determine optimum production size that achieve optimum economic efficiency per each k. g. of checken meat (boultry) with the least cost .this production siz was the heigest during the year of carrying out this project. it was about 18194 k. g. of checken meat per batch with a total cost a bout 1300 I. D. per k. g. It has been clear that winter showed a difference in comparison with other seasons where the optimum production size during these seasons was 17331.Total cost function at its lowest rate was at that productive level. The cost of one k. g. of checken meat was a bout 1253 I. D. where optimum size production during winter was higher in comparison with other season. It was 20264 k. g. per batch and with a cost rate higher than its counterparts in other seasons of a bout 313 I. D. Since the main goal of the producer is to douplicate benefit or a void loss, therefore optimum production levels have been calculated at different price levels. It was clear that the increase of prices in accompanied with an increase of optimum production levels at different levels from season to season. Moreover, it was clear that the producer gets benefits when the price he gets puts his work at the stage of diseconomies of scale whereas his work will represent a loss when he works within the stage of economies of scale.
