In addition, 61.1% of enterprises do not use workers. The egg yield was more than 81% in 26.9% of the enterprises. Moreover, the average feed consumption per chicken in 42.5% of the enterprises was between 100-120g. According to the statements, 72.2% of the producers were not members of the "Egg Producers Association" and 81.5% of the producers pointed out that they did not meet the expectations of the “Egg Producers Association”. At the same time, 70.4% of the producers told that the Covid-19 epidemic affected the egg sales prices, and 50% of the producers affected by the epidemic stated that they were negatively affected.
