      abstract = {This study examined the economics of poultry egg  production under different management systems. The study  was conducted in Odeda Local Government Area of Ogun State  in 2008. The data were obtained through administration of  questionnaire on 60 respondents. The data collected were  analysed through a combination of descriptive statistics,  budgetary techniques, profitability ratios and multiple  regression analysis. The study results showed that the  Gross Margin under battery cage system per bird / year was  N8, 089.56, while the Net Farm Income per bird / year was  N1, 773. 17. Under deep litter system, the Gross Margin per  bird / year was N1, 404.09, while the Net Farm Income per  bird / year was N1,029.43. The regression result showed  that educational qualification (α=0.10), total feed used  (α=0.05), total labour used (α=0.05), and the stock size  (α=0.01), were significant determinants affecting the  quantity of egg produced. The study concluded that poultry  egg production under battery cage system was economically  more profitable. Hence, the study recommended among others  that improved inputs, good management practices and sound  knowledge about poultry farming and must be acquired and  put to effective use to ensure the success of the poultry  business.},
