Abstract :

Broiler farming has an essential role in meeting national protein needs and improving the economic resilience of rural communities. The partnership pattern between farmers and core companies is the dominant system in broiler business management in East Java Province, especially Malang District. The study aimed to evaluate the production performance and financial efficiency of broiler farms in the partnership system. The research was conducted using a case study approach and quantitative methods with 75 farmers from Dunia Makmur Sejahtera’s plasma partners, spread across twelve districts. Respondents varied in age, education, farming experience, and scale of chicken population categorized into three business strata. Production performance indicators analyzed included feed conversion ratio (FCR), average body weight (ABW), mortality rate, harvest age, and performance index (IP). The financial evaluation included total cost, revenue, profit per cycle, and revenue to cost ratio (R/C ratio). Results showed that the average FCR was 1.79, ABW was 2.13 kg, depletion rate was 4.5%, and IP value reached 325. Based on stratification analysis, large-scale farms (Stratum III) showed better technical performance and financial efficiency than small and medium-scale strata. Financial efficiency was generally low with an average R/C ratio of 0.87. This suggests that despite promising technical performance, farmers still face serious challenges in achieving sustainable profitability. These findings emphasize the importance of improved feeding management, enhanced biosecurity and a re-evaluation of partnership contract schemes that are more equitable, especially for small and medium-scale farmers, to improve broiler performance and profitability in the future.
