Abstract: This research work explored the application of Critical Path Analysis (CPA) in the production cycle of broiler chickens, aimed at identifying bottlenecks and inefficiencies that could be mitigated to enhance productivity and profitability. Broiler chicken production, a critical component of the global agricultural sector, demands efficient management of various stages, including breeding, hatching, growing, and processing, to meet the increasing demand for poultry meat. The research utilized CPA, a time-tested project management tool traditionally applied in construction and manufacturing industries, to map out the critical and non-critical activities within the broiler production cycle. By identifying the longest path through these sequential activities, the study highlighted the minimum time required for a complete production cycle and pinpointed stages where delays could extend overall production time. This approach allowed for the precise identification of bottlenecks that impede productivity, such as the brooding phase and health management practices, which are critical for ensuring the growth and survival of broiler chickens.
