Abstract
A total of 15 contract and 15 non-contract broiler farmers were selected from the sample block of the three districts i.e
Pune, Satara and Ahmednagar (Maharashtra) and surveyed through a well structured pre-tested interview schedule.
The results of the study revealed that efficiency and body weight at marketing of broilers were non significant compared
between contract and non-contract farming except liveability of birds which was significantly higher in non-contract
broiler farming. Factors influencing profitability revealed that the age in years negatively influencing the profitability
where as partnership venture and average body weight at marketing had positive impact on the profitability. Total
investment and number of batches per year had negative influence on the profitability of contract broiler farming.
Foremost constraints faced by the contract broiler farmers were untimely supply of quality inputs, non-remunerative
price, poor quality inputs, exploitation by partnership organisation, and difficulty in availing credit and low productivity
whereas the major constraints of non-contract broiler farmers were lack of finance, high rate of interest, repayment
problems and difficulty in availing credit.
