Abstract: This research identifies suitable indicators and their scale for measuring the sustainability performance of the broiler chicken supply chain, applies the developed measurement system in a specific broiler chicken supply chain, and offers recommendations for improving the sustainability of the broiler chicken supply chain. A total of 15 and 9 indicators were analysed to improve the sustainability performance of the broiler chicken supply chain at the farm and chicken slaughterhouse chain levels, respectively. Analytic hierarchy process was applied to determine the level of importance for the sustainability of each chain (level 1), each dimension (level 2), and each indicator (level 3). The Delphi method was utilised to collect and explain experts' judgements regarding the policies that should be implemented. Measurement results indicate that the total score of the sustainability performance of the broiler chicken supply chain at all levels (small, medium, and large) belongs to the good category.
