Descripción
The purpose of this study was to assess the technical, economic and social performance of Sonali birds compared with the performances of commercial broiler, commercial layer and local non-descript/deshi chickens. The study was conducted in four districts of Bangladesh: Joypurhat, Mymensingh/Gazipur, Bogra and Naogaon. Primary data were collected from a total of 500 respondents – 100 each from the Sonali semi-scavenging, Sonali intensive (meat or egg producing), commercial broiler, commercial lay er and local non-descript systems – selected randomly from these districts. To analyse the data, a combination of descriptive statistics (sums, averages, percentages, etc.) and mathematical techniques were used. The results indicate the differences in production and economic performance among the five types of bird.
