Abstract

Attaining economic efficiency in livestock production is the core of this article. Some theoretical questions on microeconomic grounds are arised concerning the primary objective of a firm, na- mely profit maximization versus cost minization. Based upon this objective, two methodological frameworks, linear and quadratic pro-gramming, are analysed on theoretical and empirical bases. Data on broilers are used for empirical testing, and it is concluded that qua- dratic programming performs better than linear programming for rati- on formulation, cost and bird weight, that is, economic efficiency.
