The study has shown that the variable cost per bird has been reported very high while the total fixed cost per bird was reported less in both broiler and layer farms. The feed cost covered the most part of variable cost both in layer and broiler farms. The maximum revenue received from the broilers in the broiler farms and from the eggs in layer farms.
