abstract

to calculate partial and total productivity of production factors in broiler farms in yazd province, 72 manufacturing units were selected based on simple random sampling method and their information and statistics were collected for one production period in the second half of 2013. to measure productivity, the cobb-douglas production function was estimated using classic and fuzzy regression methods. workforce and energy had significant positive effects on broiler meat production. feed had the highest coefficient (0.71 in the classic regression and 0.58 in fuzzy regression) and was the most effective production factor. partial productivity of all variables and total production factors were also calculated. productivity of total production factors was 1.90 in classic regression; concerning fuzzy regression with confidence interval of 90%, upper and lower bounds were 2.86 and 1.37 respectively.

Broiler breeding strategies using indirect carcass measurements.

The objective of the current study was to determine the consequences of using indirect carcass measurements on the genetic response and rate of inbreeding in broiler breeding programs. In the base breeding scheme, selection candidates were evaluated based on direct carcass measurements on relatives. The possibilities of using indirect carcass measurements were investigated in alternative breedi...

measuring and decomposing total productivity growth of sugar beet production factors in iran

the purpose of this study is measuring total factor productivity (tfp) growth of sugar beet for different provinces of iran and then decomposing it to the changes in technical change, managerial efficiency change and scale efficiency change. for this purpose we used the data envelopment analysis (dea) method and malmquist productivity index. results showed that average growth of total factor pr...
