چکیده مقاله :

This study analyzed the economics of feeding dried poultry droppings as supplement in ram production. Gross margin analysis and profitability ratio was used to analyze the data collected. The result of the budgetary analysis revealed that highest total cost of ₦5292.98/ram was incurred, highest total revenue of ₦7565.40/ram, highest gross margin of ₦3272.41/ram and highest net farm income of ₦2272.42/ram were observed for the supplemented treatment groups. The profitability ratio gave the best benefit-cost ratio of 1.43, rate of return of 0.43, gross ratio of 0.70 and expense structure ratio of 0.23. This indicates that feeding of dried poultry droppings to rams is a profitable venture. This study therefore recommends the supplementation of dried poultry droppings at 20% inclusion level for optimum profitability.

چکیده انگلیسی:

این مطالعه اقتصاد تغذیه فضولات خشک شده را به عنوان مکمل در تغذیه قوچ مورد بررسی قرار داد. روش تحلیل سود خالص و نسبت سود آوری برای آنالیز داده­های جمع­آوری شده استفاده شد. بر اساس نتیجه آنالیز بودجه­ای بالاترین هزینه کل، بالاترین درآمد کل، بالاترین سود خاص و بالاترین درآمد خالص در مزرعه برای گروه­های تیماری مکمل­شده مشاهده شد. بهترین نسبت هزینه به سود (43/1)، نرخ بازگشت (43/0)، نسبت سود ناخالص (70/0) و نسبت ساختار هزینه (23/0) مشخص کرد که تغذیه فضولات خشک طیور به قوچ­ها یک عمل سودآور است. بنابراین و براساس نتایج این مطالعه مکمل کردن فضولات خشک طیور در سطح 20 درصدی در جیره قوچ برای سودآوری بهینه پیشنهاد می­شود.
