ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF TURKEY PRODUCTION IN KADUNA AND ZARIA TOWNS OF KADUNA STATE, NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
This study was aimed at examining the economic analysis of turkey production in Kaduna and Zaria towns of Kaduna State with the specific objectives of describing the socio-economic characteristics of the turkey farmers, determining the profitability, estimating production function, examining resource use efficiency and identifying the constraints to turkey production. Forty-five turkey farmers were randomly selected from a list of fifty-five turkey farmers identified in the study area. The sampled farmers were selected from twelve parts of Kaduna and Zaria towns where turkey production was predominant. The data were collected from June to December 2005 by the use of oral interview and structured questionnaires. Analysis of the data was done using a combination of descriptive statistics, production function and net farm income analyses. The result showed that all the turkey farmers in Kaduna and Zaria towns were engaged in turkey production on a part-time basis. Double log production function was used to estimate the production function for turkey production. The double log function had an adjusted R square ( R 2 ) value of 0.79 with all the inputs (labour, feed and capital) each being significant at 1% level of probability. The cost and return analysis indicated that the total cost of production for an average of sixty seven turkeys was at average cost of N99, 975. While the average returns was N186, 990. The net farm income for both towns was N87, 015 and the rate of return on investment per naira was 87 kobo per 100 kobo invested. Thus one Naira invested on an average of sixty seven turkeys within the period of eight months will yields 187% indicating that turkey production was profitable in the study area. Even though turkey production was economically viable in Kaduna and Zaria towns, the problems that were found limiting expansion of the enterprise include poor 8 marketing services, high cost of feed/feed ingredient, high cost of poults, inadequate credit, fake and high cost of drugs, vaccine and veterinary services, and lack of extension services. It was recommended that producers should target production maturity to high demand periods to cob seasonality in marketing of turkeys and their products. Furthermore, farmers should be trained to formulate their own feeds to minimize cost and adulteration of commercial feeds. More hatcheries should be built by individuals, private and government organisations to minimize the cost of poults and to enhance their qualities
