The study conducted at Haveri district of Karnataka revealed that feed cost was the major expenditure in broiler production, which accounted for nearly 60 per cent of the total cost. The total cost of production for the trained and untrained farmers was Rs. 46.57 and Rs. 54.25, respectively. The cost of feed, total variable cost and total cost was less in case of trained farmers. The total net returns was more than double in case of trained farmers compared to untrained farmers. B:C ratio was also more in case of trained farmers. Both the farmers have faced many constraints in broiler production.

The study conducted at Haveri district of Karnataka revealed that feed cost was the major expenditure in broiler production, which accounted for nearly 60 per cent of the total cost. The total cost of production for the trained and untrained farmers was Rs. 46.57 and Rs. 54.25, respectively. The cost of feed, total variable cost and total cost was less in case of trained farmers. The total net returns was more than double in case of trained farmers compared to untrained farmers. B:C ratio was also more in case of trained farmers. Both the farmers have faced many constraints in broiler production.
