COMPARATIVE STUDY OF INLAND PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION OF POULTRY MEAT IN ROMANIA

Abstract

This paper aimed to analyse the evolution of domestic production and consumption of chicken in Romania during the period 2006-2015. Romania's poultry meat supply was influenced by the value of inputs, reducing trend for the specific feed consumption, increasing the average daily gain, reducing mortality as a result of the implementation of good practices, and capitalization of production. This study covered the 2006-2015 period and was based on statistical data provided online by the Romanian Institute of Statistic and professional magazines. The production of poultry meat in Romania has been developed during the analyzed period and was influenced by the applied technology, as well as by impact of the subsidies which led to improvement of the production's performance. The results indicated by the regression method revealed the relationship between poultry meat production and the sales price of poultry meat in Romania, because the increase of the market price for poultry meat made this product more attractive to producers.
