Abstract EN
This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of different stocking densities in farms on the profitability of broiler production to determine the best density from the economic point of view.
Data of 105 production cycles of Cobb and avian breeds were randomly collected from different broiler farms in different localities in Dkahlia governorate in north delta of Egypt of same housing types and ventilation systems.
The data include costs of production, returns of production, mortality and livability percentages, marketing age and weight from the records and structured questionnaires.
The data were grouped into three groups according to the density, group 1 (5- 7 birds /m2), group 2 (8- 9 birds /m2) and group 3 (10- 11 birds /m2).
The data were summarized and calculated for each 100 birds then analyzed by statistical computer program (SPSS/PC, 16).
The results of the study revealed that the third group of (10- 11 birds /m2) is the best density in broiler farms has a significant effect on the profitability of broiler production.
