The future of village poultry production
What are small-scale and village poultry production systems?
Why should we care about village poultry production?
What are the development objectives for village poultry production?
What strategies, options and technologies have contributed to achieving these objectives?
What are the lessons learned?

Improving village poultry production
Why care about village poultry production?
What to achieve

Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
Achieve universal primary education
Promote gender equality and empower women
Reduce child mortality
Improve maternal health
Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases
Ensure environmental sustainability
Develop a global partnership for development

Health care and vaccination
Appropriate vaccine and distribution mechanisms
Economic sustainability based on commercialization
Support and coordination by relevant agencies

Management and Feeding
Protecting young and adult birds from losses.
Improving feeding techniques

Mini hatcheries
Availability of healthy DOC is key for improvement of the system
In remote locations DOC production may be required on site
A new „sand model“ has been developed in Bangladesh

Genetic improvement
Use of commercial poultry genotypes
Selection within the local populations
Cross-breeding for village conditions either with structured or unstructured programmes

Genetic improvement –Two cases
Crossbreeding of the Sonali in Bangladesh
2010 about 60 hatcheries, 27% of broiler, 81% layer population (150 mil.)
Kuroiler by Kegg farms in India
In India > 20 Million birds distributed to 1mil. households
Programmes in South Asia, Uganda, Ethiopia

Training
Extensive training is required
Technical issues
Marketing and financial issues

Lessons learned from programmes
Due consideration of main motivations and knowledge of producers, and opportunities for reliable delivery of improved services and inputs.
The likelihood of success is higher with a comprehensive approach that includes all technical aspects but also motivation, group organization and intensive “hands-on” training in poultry management.
Support with marketing of products is important for quick adoption and disseminating of innovative and adapted technologies.
