Abstract
Contributions of various feed components to animal husbandry in the north-western coastal zone of Egypt were quantified using systems analysis and simulation. Rangeland forage meets only 58% of the annual feed requirements of the present animal population, consequently barley products, subsidized concentrates and other supplements are required to maintain the animal population. Without buying non-subsidized supplements, the present sheep and goat population exceeds the potential by about 16%. Apparently, economic conditions are favourable for the Bedouin to maintain their present flock size.
