Abstract :Poultry meat is one of the most dynamic agricultural subsectors in Iraq. The main objective of this study is to shed light on the most important economic and productivity factors affecting the poultry production in the Northern Region of Iraq, so as to raise the return on investment for the poultry industry and increase production to meet the needs of the Iraqi market. The data collected from 180 broiler farms by face- to- face survey. To analyze data, descriptive statistics and multiple regression were used. The results were focused on four rotations for one year. According to results, feed costs accounted for the highest cost (58.3%) among all farm groups and the Benefit-Cost Ratio was 1.28. The coefficients of independent variables indicated that total entering chicks, mortality rate and consuming feed have strong significant effects on production in each rotation from 1 to 4. The mortality rate has negative and significant effects in all rotations. The total number of workers has significant effects in rotations 1 to 3 but not significant in rotation four. Based on the model in total production from one year, all variables have significant effects on broiler production. The government should motivate and encourage the farmers to increase their capacities and to enter the production process to meet a large part of the production of poultry meat in Erbil.
