Comparative performance of Sonali chickens, commercial broilers, layers and local non-descript (deshi) chickens in selected areas of Bangladesh

The purpose of this study was to assess the technical, economic and social performance of Sonali birds compared with the performances of commercial broiler, commercial layer and local non-descript/deshi chickens. The study was conducted in four districts of Bangladesh: Joypurhat, Mymensingh/Gazipur, Bogra and Naogaon. Primary data were collected from a total of 500 respondents – 100 each from the Sonali semi-scavenging, Sonali intensive (meat or egg producing), commercial broiler, commercial lay er and local non-descript systems – selected randomly from these districts. To analyse the data, a combination of descriptive statistics (sums, averages, percentages, etc.) and mathematical techniques were used. The results indicate the differences in production and economic performance among the five types of bird.
