This study aims to study broiler production in particular which is expected to be utilized in commercial farms and where environmental control systems are very essential. As shown in the figure below, broiler production is high at Central Luzon and CALABARZON areas, where most contract growers of big integrators are usually located. Observable sharp declines in some years might indicate periods of disease outbreak and natural calamities and interventions.
