Abstract: This study addresses the planning issue related to the broilers production in a poultry network where the major problem is the imbalance between the supply and the demand. To this fact, the produced quantity is unstable, which influences selling prices. To effectively solve this problem, we have developed a generic linear programming model in order to facilitate the decision-making in production. The formulation is motivated by a real application case of the poultry chain in the city of Tlemcen. In this context, several configurations were tested: an economic configuration determined by financial planning, and a mutual configuration promoting the service quality. Also, we have developed a mathematical model for an integrated multi-horizon approach to organise the production rotation of all breeding farms over the long-term. Promising results have increased the breeder's profit, and the service quality where all actors, breeders as well as consumers, will be in a win-win situation.
