Advancing Efficiency Sustainability in Poultry Farms through Data Envelopment Analysis in a Brazilian Production System

Blog Article

The production efficiency factor is widely used to measure the zootechnical performance of a batch of broilers.The unit cost of production brings new elements to improve efficiency evaluation and financial sustainability for this activity in agriculture.This research aims to evaluate the production Ginger efficiency level of the crop to maximize the return on investment.This study uses Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with the computational processing of the SIAD software (Integrated Decision Support System).The variables selected were poultry housing, age at slaughter, feed consumed, mortality, and unit cost.

The chosen output variable was the total available weight.The analysis spans 31 decision-making units (DMUs) composed of integrated producers, unveiling a frontier of efficiency delineated by the most exemplary DMUs.Notably, only two DMUs, specifically DMU 4 and DMU 23, approached the threshold of maximum relative efficiency.This research illuminates the critical role of unit cost in enhancing the assessment of production efficiency and financial sustainability within the agriculture environment.By setting benchmarks for efficient management and operational protocols, our findings serve as a cornerstone for improving practices among less efficient DMUs, contributing significantly to the literature on agricultural efficiency and offering actionable insights for the SIEMENS iQ700 LC91KWW69B - 90cm Wall-mounted cooker hood - Black Glass poultry farming sector.
