Abstract
The study conducted a comprehensive analysis of the production costs of broiler chicken meat and the live performance metrics of broiler flocks across a sample of 100 poultry enterprises located in the Surkhandarya region during the period of September to October 2025. The study estimated the average cost of production per kilogram live weight of broiler to be 35,690 UZS. The analysis revealed that feed costs and chick procurement costs constituted the most significant components of the total production cost per kilogram of live broiler weight, accounting for 69.2% and 19.6%, respectively. The results indicated that the cost of producing one kilogram of live broiler weight in the Surkhandarya region is approximately 11% to 13% higher compared to other regions of Uzbekistan.
