Kanatlı eti Irak'ta insan beslenmesinde hayvansal proteinin ana kaynağı haline gelmiş ve son bir kaç yıl içinde kanatlı üretimi özellikle Erbil'de en dinamik alt sektörlerinden biri olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı Erbil ilindeki kümes hayvanları üretimini etkileyen faktörleri belirleyerek ildeki kümes hayvancılığı yatırımını ve üretimini artırmak amacıyla öneriler geliştirmektir. Çalışmada 180 broiler işletmesiyle yapılan anketlerden elde edilen veriler kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve çok değişkenli regresyon modeli kullanılmıştır. Analizlerde bir yılda dört üretim dönemi esas alınmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, işletmelerde en yüksek maliyeti (%58.3) yem maliyetleri oluşturmuş ve Fayda-Maliyet Oranı ise ortalama 1.28 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Dört rotasyonunun tamamında broiler üretimi ile toplam civciv sayısı, ölüm oranı ve besin tüketimi arasında istatistiki açıdan anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu, ölüm oranının tüm dönemlerle olumsuz etki gösterdiği, toplam işçi değişkeninin ise 1., 2. ve 3. rotasyonda anlamlı bir farklılık gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Karar vericilerin Erbil'deki kanatlı eti üretiminin büyük bir bölümünü karşılamak için çiftçileri kapasitelerini artırmaya ve üretim sürecine girmeye teşvik etmesi gerekmektedir.

Poultry meat is one of the most dynamic agricultural subsectors in Iraq. The main objective of this study is to shed light on the most important economic and productivity factors affecting the poultry production in the Northern Region of Iraq, so as to raise the return on investment for the poultry industry and increase production to meet the needs of the Iraqi market. The data collected from 180 broiler farms by face- to- face survey. To analyze data, descriptive statistics and multiple regression were used. The results were focused on four rotations for one year. According to results, feed costs accounted for the highest cost (58.3%) among all farm groups and the Benefit-Cost Ratio was 1.28. The coefficients of independent variables indicated that total entering chicks, mortality rate and consuming feed have strong significant effects on production in each rotation from 1 to 4. The mortality rate has negative and significant effects in all rotations. The total number of workers has significant effects in rotations 1 to 3 but not significant in rotation four. Based on the model in total production from one year, all variables have significant effects on broiler production. The government should motivate and encourage the farmers to increase their capacities and to enter the production process to meet a large part of the production of poultry meat in Erbil.
