Abstract:

The study employed a Translog stochastic frontier production function approach to examine the technical efficiency and its determinants among sheep fattening enterprises in Kebbi state, Nigeria. Data were generated from a sample of 160 fatteners using the multi-stage random sampling technique. The results of the analysis revealed that labour, feeds, fattening animals, depreciation, water and transportation are the dominant variables that influenced the level of technical efficiency in sheep fattening with coefficient values of (-2.761, 25.549, 15.609, 9.326, -2.704, and 0.905), respectively. Mean technical efficiency of sheep fatteners ranged between 0.13 to 0.91 having a mean of 0.73, This suggest that the fatteners were not technically efficient in the utilization of existing resources. The results also showed that technical efficiency can be enhanced through provision of credit and increased years of fattening experience.
