The challenge to increase meat production in Nigeria appears to be more urgent now than ever. This is in view of the rapidly increasing population, the imminent decline in hunting and the low protein intake in rural areas. Poultry meal especially broiler is one of the easiest to produce, hence its purposive selection. Input-Output data were generated from selected poultry farmers in Abia State. The data were analyzed by use of descriptive statistics and econometric estimations. Efficiency in the resource use pattern was examined using Marginal Value Product of each of the examined resources with its unit price. It was identified that there are possibilities of increasing broiler mear supply through higher levels of resource-use pattern under the existing technology.

The present study was carried out to monitor and assess the present scenario of resource use pattern in Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh. The study was based on the primary data collected from 160 sample households. Stratified two-stage random sampling technique was employed for selecting the sample households. In the present investigation, income approach was used for the identification of farming systems. The nomenclature of the farming system derived its name from the farming component that contributed maximum share to the farm family income. In the case of land use pattern, the Cultivated Land Utilisation Index (CLUI) indicated that the area under different crops was not properly used and a portion was kept fallow. Regarding the resource use pattern in different crops, the negative gap was observed in existing seed use pattern for various crops which indicated that growers were using very high seed rate on their farms due to poor germination by lacking the irrigation facilities. In the case of fertilisers application, positive gap was observed. The gap indicated that farmers were applying very less fertilisers as compared to recommend dose due to non-availability of credit and lack of awareness regarding nutrients.
