“…There are many social, economic, demographic, institutional, environmental and non-material factors that affect efficiency (21) .These factors include gender, age, educational level, family size, parenting experience, etc. (20). Stochastic border analysis is an auxiliary method in comparing projects that have similar profit activities (15), the production decision can be meant into less profit or return for the product (12).…”

“…The poultry industry is one of the main pillars in achieving food security policy, and it is a major source of protein and a good source of fats and vitamins with high nutritional value for humans (7), and it's one of the fastest ways to increase protein supply in the short term (22). Chicken has become one of the most important Sources of consumed meat in the world (20), the consumption of chicken meat is a source to meet the daily needs of protein (16). Poultry meat is characterized by its high nutritional value, its cheap price, and the high food conversion factor compared to red meat.…”

This research was aimed to study and analyze the costs, revenues, and profits of meat chicken breeding projects. The study also estimating the random frontier profit function, the profit inefficiency function and profit efficiency which based on cross-sectional data that included 59 projects for raising meat poultry in Waist governorate in 2020.The results of the analysis showed through the descriptive analysis of the cost structure that, the costs of chicks and fodder account for more than 70% of the costs, as well as achieving economic profits for projects. Through the random border profit function, the significance of both the total revenue and the costs of chicks, fodder, medicines, vaccines, and services (water, electricity and fuel) was shown. As for the inefficiency function parameters, they were significant for each proved the age of the breeder, his years of experience, the presence of the veterinarian and the agricultural engineer. As for the efficiency of profits, it was 76%. The researcher recommended the necessity of supporting breeding projects by providing incentives to feed factories and their processors or supporting feeds and private hatcheries to reduce costs and provide training for less experienced breeders and urge them to involve veterinarians and agricultural engineers in supervising broiler projects.

“…However, ruminants are poor candidates for rapid short-term increases in number. This is due to their low fecundity, long gestation and long generation interval [7]. It is known that piggery multiply rapidly within a relatively short-time with gestation period of 114 days.…”

“…It is known that piggery multiply rapidly within a relatively short-time with gestation period of 114 days. Unlike pork that has no national spread due to religious beliefs, there are virtually no taboos that hinder the consumption of both poultry meat or eggs [7] and fish products. Hence, both fish farming and poultry production has long been recognized as one of the quickest ways of rapid increase in protein supply in the short-run.…”

Agricultural production activities are gradually becoming important livelihood diversification among urban and peri-urban households whose main occupation is public service. The study focuses on livelihood diversification through agricultural production activities among public servants in Kwara State, Nigeria. Both primary and secondary data (production records) were collected. Three hundred and thirty public servants comprising 150 fish farmers, 60 broiler farmers and 120 arable crop farmers were randomly selected through field survey with the aid of structured questionnaire. Data collected were analyzed using Herfindahl‐Hirshman index (HHI), net margin and stochastic frontier profit function regression analysis. Fish, broiler and arable crop production were profitable with mean profit of ₦132,260 per 1000 fingerlings, ₦912 per bird and ₦89,564 per ha and mean profit efficiency of 72.6%, 74% and 68% respectively. The HHI of diversity revealed a significant level of income diversification to agricultural production activities. These contributed about 40%, 36.5% and 29% to total household income of public servants who engaged in fish farming, broiler production and arable cropping respectively. Public servant farmers should form a formidable group to enjoy economic of scale to purchase agricultural inputs and should be given adequate training through their cooperative by inviting resource personnel.

“…Yet, the country is endowed with human population of over 160 million people in addition to rich vegetation and abundant water resources; about 2,86,200km2 of waterarea (Shimang, 2005), which apart from capability of supporting a large population of livestock and crop irrigation, as well supports production of enough fish and fish products not only for domestic consumption but also for export (FAO, 2003).Suffice to note also that despite Nigerians abundant fishery resources, the country is still largely a protein deficient nation. It is well documented that Nigerians per capital intake of high quality animal protein is too low (Rahji et al, 2011).…”

A survey was conducted to assess some aspects of artisanal fisheries in fishing households of Sabiyel Lake in Aliero local Government Area, Kebbi State, Nigeria between 2014 and 2015. One hundred (100) questionnaires were administered in seven (7) communities surrounding the Lake. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results revealed that 100% of the sampled households were married. The age of the respondents vary with 43% below the age of 50, 32% above 50 years of age. All of the households sampled were male. Respondents with no formal education accounted for 77%. Majority of the respondents still use traditional gears, methods and crafts. Most respondents (53%) were involved in only selling of fresh product as a means of livelihood. The fish species caught in Sabiyel lake comprises of Hyperopesus bebe, Oreochromis niloticus, Sarotherodon galilieus, Clarias gariepinus and Heterotis niloticus. Most respondents (42%) sold their fish fresh without processing or preservation. Regarding the role of women, 28% of the respondents mentioned that women participate in the processing of fish. Most of the respondents (87%) stated lack of both modern fishing gears and crafts as the major problems confronting their fishing activities. The study suggested that state government should address the major constraints to fishing in the study area by supplying and subsidizing fishing gears, crafts and adequate processing and preservation equipment.
