Three areas in the Hilla district were studied, namely the Hilla district center, Al- Kifl, and Abi Gharaq, for the period (2018-2023). The study clarified the role and impact of
climatic elements, particularly temperature and relative humidity, on the variation in poultry production quantity and the number of farms prepared for production. It proved that the study area enjoys good climatic characteristics for expanding animal production (poultry), except for some cases that witness sharp changes in climatic elements that require human intervention using air conditioning and refrigeration technologies to cope with climatic fluctuations. The study confirmed the continued increase in production during the study years, as production did not fall below the required level. The year (2023) witnessed the highest value of poultry production, reaching approximately (2,340,917 kg/year) at the study area level, while the lowest value of production was recorded in (2018), reaching approximately (851,172 kg/year). As for the equantity of production at the administrative unit level, the Hilla district center rankd first, followed by the area (Al- Kifl) ,
then (Abi Gharq), ranked third in terms of the number of farms and the quantity of meat animal
production, It is worth noting that there were no egg farms in the center of Hilla district
area while the (AlKifl) region ranked first, followed by Abi Gharq, in terms of the quantity of production and the number of farms for animals dedicated to their egg production ,
the study also demonstrated a moderate positive correlation between temperature , the number of farms , and their production quantity for meat and eggs production , while poultry productivity and relative humidity were weakly inversely related in terms of the number of broods and their meat and egg production ,
. It is wort noting that there were no egg farms in the center of Al-Hillah district. The study also showed the role of other natural and human factors that complement the role of climatic elemet in the variation of poultry productivity in of the region the study .
