Nowadays, smallholder poultry producers in Bangladesh face substantial challenges in operating their businesses profitably. This study looked at the factors that influence the profitability of poultry farming in Bangladesh's Gazipur area, employing primary data collected from 200 poultry farmers with 100 broiler and 100-layer producers. Econometric models were used to analyze the survey data. The findings demonstrate that the economic viability of poultry farming in the study areas was subject to various socioeconomic factors. The estimated parameters that significantly and positively influenced the profitability were the cost of hired labor and veterinary services with the coefficient value of 0.16 and 1.35, respectively. Conversely, the profitability exhibited an inverse relationship with education level, family size, costs of tools and equipment, and day-old chicks, with parameter estimates of 0.85, 1.73, 1.07, and 1.47, respectively. As the cost components in this study are found to have a dubious effect on profitability, specific cost-reduction strategies are required at both national and local levels to assist farmers in adhering to their budgetary constraints and enhancing their net farm profit. In addition, innovation in the poultry sector should be made readily available at an affordable cost, and factors that impede profitability, such as large family size and higher education, should be converted to assets through adequate training.
如今，孟加拉国的小农户家禽养殖户在实现盈利经营方面面临着巨大挑战。本研究考察了影响孟加拉国加济布尔地区家禽养殖盈利能力的因素，采用了从200名家禽养殖户（其中100名肉鸡养殖户和100名蛋鸡养殖户）收集的原始数据。运用计量经济学模型对调查数据进行分析。研究结果表明，研究区域内家禽养殖的经济可行性受到多种社会经济因素的影响。对盈利能力有显著正向影响的估计参数是雇佣劳动力成本和兽医服务成本，系数值分别为0.16和1.35。相反，盈利能力与教育水平、家庭规模、工具和设备成本以及一日龄雏鸡呈负相关，参数估计值分别为0.85、1.73、1.07和1.47。由于本研究中的成本构成要素对盈利能力的影响存疑，因此需要在国家和地方层面制定具体的成本降低策略，以帮助农民遵守预算限制并提高农场净利润。此外，应提供价格合理的家禽养殖创新成果，对于像大家庭规模和高学历等阻碍盈利能力的因素，应通过适当培训将其转化为资产。
