The study was conducted in November 2018 to October 2019 for the
exploring of growth of egg and poultry meat production with moderating
effect of risk and return in private poultry farms at Quetta district of
Balochistan. By area, the biggest province of Pakistan is Balochistan and
Quetta is the capital city of Balochistan. The total population of Quetta city is
1100000 while the total population of Balochistan is 12.34 million and its
population growth rate is 2.8%. This province is mostly agrarian. Livestock is
related to agrarian sector and poultry farms are linking with livestock
department. After lasbeela, the second largest poultry products producing city
is Quetta. Current study focuses the growth of poultry production such as egg
production and meat production of private poultry farms. The poultry growth
(PG) depends upon the poultry production (PP) and its profit. However risk is
also challenging this business. Private investors of poultry business are much
conscious about risk. The risk and return (RR) are the moderating variables
of the study. The poultry production of Quetta district is more expensive from
Punjab due to lack of facilities such as transportation, poultry medicines and
poultry foods goods. For inferring results, the researcher used the secondary
data of ten private poultry farms of Quetta district for five years from 2013 to
2017. For analysis the researcher used many tools such correlation,
regression, ADF tests and Granger causality tests. There was found out
negative relationship of cost and production and its growth. The risks
relationship is as it. But return keeps the positive relationship with production
and growth. The study concluded that production of poultry increases then the
profit and its growth also increases. But risk is also matter in the field of
poultry.
