Abstract
The study was conducted to analyse the broiler production of Karnataka State
with the help of time series data for a period of 19 years from 1996-97 to 2014-15 and to
know the causes for its disparity among the districts, the district wise data pertaining to
13 indicator variables for the period of 12 years from 2003-04 to 2014-15 were utilized.
The state experienced progressive increase in broiler meat production during the study
period. The growth of broiler production is not uniform across all the districts of the state.
Hence an attempt was made to construct growth models separately by grouping the
districts based on their production as well as administrative divisions. The different
polynomial and exponential models were found to be more suitable for the broiler meat
production in different groups and also for the divisions. The most appropriate model was
determined by using coefficient of determination (R2) and Root Mean Square Error
(RMSE) criteria. The disparity analysis using composite index computed by Principal
Component Analysis (PCA) indicates that there was a wide disparity in broiler production
among the districts of Karnataka state during the study period and the inference is
supported by Kendall’s coefficient of concordance. Based on the eigen values of PCA for
each districts revealed that area under irrigated land, area under maize and area under
pulses in agriculture sector, whereas number of veterinary institutions and road length in
the infrastructure sector were found to be the main causes for the disparity in broiler
production among the districts of Karnataka State.
