Abstract
ABSTRACT The poultry production model is an efficiently intensified small-scale production model. One of the best ways to measure the efficiency of poultry production is the feed conversion ratio (FCR). This study investigated factors that influence the FCR while considering spatial autocorrelations. A random sample of 320 broiler chicken farmers in Musanze district, northern Rwanda was collected and the Spatial Error Model (SEM) was used for analysis. Results revealed a spatial autocorrelation and relationships between FCR and some factors. This study advances our understanding of sustainable intensification and contributes to the design of future investments and interventions in broiler chicken production.
