“…Furthermore, birds that are given unlimited food gain weight more quickly, easily achieve market weight, and fetch greater prices per unit. The profitability of the farm is significantly impacted by the poor body weight of broilers, which is a sign of inadequate feeding management [49,50]. Numerous studies [51][52][53] have suggested that in order to reduce feed prices, farmers should be taught how to purchase feeds locally.…”

“…Livestock farms are lucrative businesses, according to several studies [49,[125][126][127][128] that have been conducted on the subject. They also mentioned that there might be substantial problems with resource usage, sustainability, and accessibility to production [54,129,130].…”

“…They also mentioned that there might be substantial problems with resource usage, sustainability, and accessibility to production [54,129,130]. A narrow margin between cost and revenue prompted the producers to accept relatively little returns because poultry farming can vary from region to region [49]. According to Abdurofi et al [49], the business maintained profitability in certain places but failed to do so in others.…”

According to Abdurofi et al [49], the business maintained profitability in certain places but failed to do so in others. Farm profitability was positively correlated with flock size, diversification, geography, age of the farmer, employment away from the farm, education, and years of experience in raising livestock Figure 2 [131][132][133][134].…”

An Assessment of Economic Sustainability and Efficiency in Small-Scale Broiler Farms in Limpopo Province: A Review

et al. 2023

An important factor in determining the success of a small-scale broiler farm is its economic viability and efficiency. During times of trouble for the industry, the idea receives more attention. The conceptual considerations of economic sustainability and efficiency are frequently quite constrained, according to the difficulties raised in this study and by other authors. There is a lack of information about South Africa's small-scale broiler production's economic viability and effectiveness. Furthermore, it is clear that small-scale broiler producers have the ability to increase their economic efficiency. By reducing the mortality rate, feed conversion rate, and production duration, both their technical and financial efficiency could be improved. Profitability in the production of broilers will be considerably increased by lowering the cost of these variable inputs, particularly feed and day-old chicks. Additionally, raising the education level, capacity utilization ratio, and broiler production would all contribute to raising the farms' efficiency levels. To ensure effective resource use and to maximize practicable profit, small-scale broiler producers who are not operating close to the profit frontier must make efforts to reduce both technical and allocation inefficiencies. Collectively, all these measures would ensure the economic sustainability of small-scale farmers in South Africa would be met. Moreover, the sustainability of small-scale broiler producers can be achieved if strategies that build local capacity and that empower them to sustain high levels of productivity are provided. In addition, the efficient use of resources will ensure that productivity is enhanced, and might increase profitability. It is therefore important to ensure that small-scale broiler producers achieve maximum profit for a given set of inputs. Approaches in assessing the farm-level profitability such as cost-benefit and gross margin analyses can be used.

“…Feed is essential for chicken production, particularly in broiler production. Approximately 70% of total expenditure is attributed to the cost of chicken production (Abdurofi et al, 2017). Moreover, because of the expense, it is essential to maintain high-quality feed.…”

Mycotoxin-contaminated feed is one of the main causes of contamination that may increase broiler mortality and impair their production. A total of 161 in vivo data acquired from 31 published articles were used as a database for determining the effectiveness of mycotoxin binders on performance and health of broiler. The Hedges’ d value was employed as a measure of effect size (ES) in the present meta-analysis. Increasing mycotoxin binder in feed enhanced body weight (ES=0.784; P<0.001), decreased feed conversion ratio (ES=-0.87; P<0.001), and decreased mortality (ES=-3.98; P<0.001). In terms of average daily gain and mortality suppression, the finisher phase demonstrated the greatest effectiveness of the binder usage compared to the starter and finisher phases. The effectiveness of binders in lowering the incidence of mycotoxin in feed was beneficial in reducing mortality and enhancing broiler performance. In addition, its application into feed may enhance the health condition of broilers by enhancing organ weights and gastrointestinal health.
