The technical efficiency, determinants of production and sources of inefficiency in broiler production in Edo State was investigated using stochastic frontier production function which incorporates a model for inefficiency effects. Data were generated using questionnaire from a sample of 100 broiler producers from four Local Government Areas where broiler production is predominant using the multi- stage random sampling techniques. The results show that three production factors were significant namely: foundation stock war found to be have positive effect while labour and medication were found to be have negative effect on the production output. Of the broiler farmer specific socio economic variables, level of education, location of farm, age and gender found to be the significant factor accounting for the variation in efficiency among broiler producers. The study recommends policies that will encourage local production, such as strengthening and encouraging the existing extension services in the state and provision of incentives that would encourage more broiler production. |
