Sustainable Livestock Farming for Improving Socio-Economic Condition
Abstract: Sustainability is
the most effective
concept to improve
socio-economic condition, including
environment. Constructive socio-economic changes are getting priority in recent
years among academia and
business sector in
Bangladesh. Bangladesh poultry
sub-sector has long supply chains having
associated with various stakeholders. In this paper,
a case poultry farm was taken
to examine a
production process that
links with socio-economic benefits.
Design science method under
the quantitative paradigm
was chosen to
develop a model
for the case industry. A Simulation model was
developed using simul8 software to construct the real poultry operation. The objectives of this
paper are to
construct a sustainable model for
a case poultry industry along
with socio-economic issues.
Later, simulated model
output will examine
it through various performance
indicators (KPIs) to
find out the
impacts on socio-economic benefits. Numbers
of KPIs have
been briefly discussed
in light of
the research problem
to illustrate positive effects of sustainable production.
