Summary
The interest of developing countries in promoting the production of fast growing animals such as poultry came as a result of increasing demand for animal protein (Obinne & Okorie, 2008). This is attributed to population growth in these countries. In Ghana, the difference between production and consumption of animal protein is below the recommended level This poses threat to food security and may lead to malnutrition. To avert this trend several attempts has been made to increase animal production in the country to bridge the gap. The policy to expand the production of poultry is seen as surest way of bridging the gap between production and consumption of animal protein (Adesehinwa, 2008)
