The sheep and goat production sector is one of the constituent sectors of animal production in Egypt, as it is an important source of meat. The research problem is the decrease in the contribution of sheep and goat meat to the total production of red meat. This led to a rise in the price level of meat, milk and wool of sheep and goats. The research mainly aims to study the economic efficiency of producing lamb (sheep) and goat meat at the level of the research sample in Gharbia Governorate. The research relied on both descriptive and quantitative analysis methods. The research indicated that the quantity produced of sheep and goat meat increased by about and thousand tons annually in Gharbia Governorate, respectively, during the period (2015-2016). The difference in the average variable costs of the head of the fattened goats in the fattening cycle in the two groups of the study amounted to about pounds while the difference in the average total costs of the head amounted to pounds, respectively.
