Abstract

Poultry is the largest group of livestock species in the world in which chickens largely dominate the flock composition. The poultry sector in Ethiopia can be characterized into three major production systems based on selected parameters like breed, flock size, housing, feeding, health, technology, bio-security and others. Though This observations focused on a complete 120 families had been decided on and personally interviewed to gather the facts. The data have been analyzed by use of the statistical package (SPSS). the primary constraints detects village chicken production inside the observe location had been sickness, predators, loss of proper fitness care, bad feeding, housing, poor watering, and shortage of marketplace access replacement of indigenous chickens by means of exceptional hen breeds is also found inflicting dilution of the indigenous genetic assets. Newcastle disorder (NCD) changed into identified as economically essential fitness constraint that hinders chicken production and productiveness within the take a look at location. The results indicates that inappropriate coping with of chicken and a lack of Agricultural extension service (47%), loss of production substances (35.3%), the hazard of predators (16.7%) and fear of theft (10%), housing troubles, Lacks infrastructure, low supply of logistics which includes transportation, failure to mobilize the network, Lacks incents for exceptional sports, low supply of logistics which include transportation, failure to mobilize the network, Lacks incents for special activities.

Highlights

  • The Fayoumi breed has been imported with the expectation of higher productivity, better adaptation and disease resistance than the other exotic breeds within the rural setting of Ethiopia [4] reported that the exotic chicken like Brown, Bovans Brown, Potchefstroom Koekoek and Sasso were distributed to smallholder farmers in some parts of the country

  • 2) To analyze and demonstrate field observed with chicken production technology

  • According to the information generated from the respondents for inappropriate handling of chicken are a lack of Agricultural extension service (47%), lack of construction materials (35.3%), risk of predators (16.7%) and fear of theft (10%)

Summary

Background

Ethiopia has about 60% of the whole bird populace of East Africa, which incorporates neighborhood, special, and hybrid chook breeds [2]. Rhode Island Red, New Hampshire, Cornish, Australorp Light Sussex [5] They were crossed with local chickens to enhance the genetic potential of indigenous breeds. The Extension Department of the Ministry of Agriculture of Ethiopia has shown more preference and interest to the utilization of the Rhode Island Red breed that might be serving as a dual-purpose for both egg and meat production [1]. The Fayoumi breed has been imported with the expectation of higher productivity, better adaptation and disease resistance than the other exotic breeds within the rural setting of Ethiopia [4] reported that the exotic chicken like Brown, Bovans Brown, Potchefstroom Koekoek and Sasso were distributed to smallholder farmers in some parts of the country. The objectives of this study is, to assess the status and production performance of exotic chickens, and to debate the most constraints of improved or exotic chickens production and marketing management in Tiro Afta district, Jimma Zone, Southwest Ethiopia
