Abstract
The declining rate of supply and high cost of matured broiler meat relative to its demand despite the attractions in the industry raises concern on the sector’s growth. Operating efficiently is a strategy that can address this challenge. The study technical efficiency of broiler production was carried out in Anambra state Nigeria using Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier analysis. A cross sectional survey was employed using the questionnaires which was administered to a sample of 370 broiler farmers registered with the ADP as at Dec. 2022. The study focused on levels of Technical efficiency in broiler production using Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier analysis, determinants of technical efficiencies using 2 stage maximum likelihood. The study revealed coefficient of the Gamma (γ) value of 0.695 significant at 1% level, indicating that variations in broiler production output were attributed to technical inefficiency, meaning that the inefficiency components contributed 69.5% of this deviation in frontier output and the remaining 30.5% arising from random noise which are beyond the farmers control. The coefficient for feed and labor were positive and significant at the 1% level. TE ranged from as low as from 0.006 to a high as 0.964, with an average (mean) value of 0.767 was observed, indicating that about 23% of the output was lost due to the inefficiency in broiler production. The likelihood ratio test yields a value of 17.13***, significant at a 1% probability level. Both production experience and training showcased significance at probability levels of 10% and 5%, respectively. The study recommended adopting modern production methods, credit and training improvement as well as infrastructural development.
