An experiment has been conducted to evaluate the effects of a liquid prebiotic (LP) on the carcass, digestive tract, and productive traits of Japanese quail. Eighty 7-day-old Japanese quails were randomly divided into 2 treatments. Each treatment consisted of 4 replicates (pens) of 10 birds each. The first treatment (control) contained a standard recommended diet with no added prebiotic. The se...

The stochastic frontier production model is one of the most used ways to estimate efficiency and productivity. The purpose of this paper was to decompose the sources of total factor productivity (TFP) growth into technological progress, changes in technical efficiency and changes in economies of scale. In this paper, we also used Divisia index in order to estimate production function. A random ...
