      abstract = {The present study determines the profitability and  technical, allocative and economic efficiency of commercial  poultry farms. It is based on the data collected from 30  poultry farms of Gazipur district for the year 1995-96.  Descriptive statistical measures as well as stochastic  production frontier method were used for the analysis of  data. The results of the study indicated that poultry  farming was a profitable business and the large farms were  the most profitable compared to the others. The estimated  technical efficiency of the poultry farms was 0.92 and  overall allocative efficiency was 0.69. The estimated  economic efficiency of poultry farms was 0.62 indicating  that there exists the potential to increase profit of the  poultry farms with the available resources by increasing  their efficiency. Major problems faced by the poultry farms  (as reported by the farmers) were inadequate availability  of feed and chicks, inadequate supply of vaccines, and high  price of feed.},
