An econometric approach for prediction of optimal broiler production cycle by coefficient of economic efficiency

Optimum production period was estimated econometrically by coefficient of economic efficiency (CEE) for broilers in Turkey's economic conditions, using total marginal income (TMI), total marginal cost (TMC), total marginal net income (TMNI), marginal chick cost (MC) and CEE as basic data. Mathematical function between production period and CEE was calculated. Optimum production period was predicted by using derivatived function between production period and CEE. Probable maximum CEE value per chick during production period was estimated by solving for f(x) function of calculated optimal production time via the derivatived function. Total CEE value per chick was estimated by integration of calculated mathematical function. © GSP, India.
