Performance and Constraints of the Poultry Production System among FFs Farmer...copppldsecretariat
The ASSP/SDP-L project promotes the development of family poultry development throughout Pemba Island, Tanzania. The Project encourages poultry farmers to adopt a semi-intensive system of production with introduction of improved breeds. Through this Project farmers are trained in improved poultry management using a Farmers’ Field School (FFS) approach. So far, good progress has been reported in adoption of the acquired knowledge. However, while adopting the new technologies and knowledge, farmers experienced various constraints and setbacks.
