Évaluation De La Durabilité Socioéconomique Des Ateliers Avicoles À M’sila (Algérie)

Abstract

Poultry farming contributes to food security, economic development, stability and social equitability for the farmer and his family and supports social bonds. The intervention of these functions together leads to the social and economic sustainability of the farms. In order to determine the degree of sustainability of poultry farms, analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the production system and identify practices to improve we proceeded to assess the socio-economic sustainability of the poultry farms in the province of Msila by the “DIAMOND” method. The results indicate that the best-capitalized farmers and those with technical and economic know-how are aware of the issue of economic viability and diversification of activities and customers, which improves their incomes and decreases the economic fragility of their farms. However, for most farmers, the work is difficult and the productivity of the workforce is low.

Structuring and Development of Poultry Sectors in Algeria: Limits of Modernization Policies: The Case of the “Turkey” Sector (2000-2020)

“…From this viewpoint, our claims corroborated those made by some authors (Kaci and Kheffache, 2016;Mahmoudi, 2016), but we were able to contextualize them because of what we had seen as the relative importance of family strategies, the expanding role of upstream businesses and the relatively small importance of informal poultry economies.…”

Effect of feeding carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) pulp powder to broiler chicken on growth performance, intestinal microbiota, carcass traits, and meat quality

“…Indeed, over 284,020 tons of poultry meat (91.64% of broiler meat) was produced ( FAO, 2022 ). The short duration of breeding, the solvent market for poultry products, the remuneration for this activity, and the lower cost of production compared to traditional breeding (sheep and cattle) are the main factors guiding the choice of this activity by the breeders ( Mahmoudi et al, 2019 ). Nevertheless, the poultry industry in Algeria is directly affected by global commodity prices and the availability of corn and soybean, as principal components of feed (90% of the imports), on the international market.…”

Typology and sustainability assessment of rabbit farms in the urban and peri-urban areas of Southern Benin (West Africa)

“…In addition, while raising rabbits is a labour-intensive endeavour, most of the daily tasks performed on these farms were done manually. The level of intensity of some daily farm activities carried out by hand has been previously reported by Mahmoudi et al (2019) as the main factor that weakens the level of socioeconomic sustainability of layer poultry farms in Algeria.…”
