The document discusses the poultry industry in Nigeria and opportunities for growth. It notes that poultry has the greatest growth potential of all livestock but faces challenges including lack of raw materials, inadequate funding, and poor infrastructure. It recommends establishing a national poultry policy, securing subsidies for feed production, increasing investment in large-scale commercial farming, and setting standards to improve quality and enable exports. The goal is to make poultry a cornerstone of Nigeria's agricultural revolution.
The objective of a defined feeding management program is to supply a range of balanced diets that satisfy the nutrient requirements at all stages of development & that optimize efficiency and profitability without compromising bird welfare or the environment.

Poultry production can be divided into four sectors:
1. industrial and integrated, 2.commercial high bio-security, 3. commercial low bio-security, 4. village, and family or backyard poultry. The focus here is largely on sectors 3 and 4 but there may be some overlap.
‘Family poultry’ as defined by the International Network for Family Poultry Development, covers sectors 3 and 4 which encompass small - scale poultry production.
There are numerous poultry handbooks which cover sectors 2 and 3, but this hand book has attempted, in two manuals, to cover mainly sector 3 while not ignoring the great importance of bio-security particularly in the face of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1). It is envisaged that, given time, some producers, now in sector 3 may move into sector 2.
The two manuals are pitched at two different levels.
The Trainer’s (instructor) manual assumes that the trainer has qualifications and/or experience in a branch of agricultural science but not necessarily in poultry production. Some of the material included is beyond that necessary to give an initial course in poultry production but may be useful as the farmer progresses from sector 3 to sector 2. The trainee’s manual has numerous illustrations and is aimed at a lower level than for the trainer.
The farmer may be interested in starting a poultry enterprise is already producing poultry in a small - scale commercial or semi-commercial (opportunistic) situation but would like to make poultry farming more permanent. The course will allow the farmer to increase his/her knowledge and skills and to become aware of a number of important issues (e.g. managing the environment, disease surveillance) of his/her enterprise.
In order to minimise repetition, there is some material in the trainee’s manual that is not in the trainer’s manual. Trainers should familiarise themselves thoroughly with both manuals.
The third manual is for the millions of families, worldwide, in low – income,
developing countries who keep backyard poultry, mainly unmanaged, with few inputs, but nevertheless are of great importance by providing, some security, income and high – quality protein. It is hoped that this manual will make families aware of the possibility of improving output with a minimum of input.
Much of the information has been taken from a range of sources as well as the author’s own experience of working in several developing countries over 25 years.
Ideally, there should be a small-scale demonstration unit or a poultry farm available so that the trainees can see, first hand, and better understand the main points in these manuals and observe how commercial poultry production should be practised.
Layer poultry farming means raising egg laying poultry birds for the purpose of commercial egg production. Layer chickens are such a special species of hens, which need to be raised from when they are one day old. They start laying eggs commercially from 18-19 weeks of age.

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.

Broiler poultry farming is a lucrative business. Generally highly meat productive birds or poultry breeds are called broiler poultry. But broiler chicken is a special species of poultry, which is a great secret. Only four countries of the world knows about this secret and they supply and maintain all the demand of broiler chickens. Broilers are like other common poultry birds. But this broiler is made in a scientific way for producing more meat in a short time. Basically, broilers are only for meat production.
Broiler Farming Management Guide is designed to help Aviagen’s customers achieve optimum performance from their birds. While not intended to provide definitive information on every aspect of management, this manual does draw attention to important issues that if overlooked or inadequately addressed may depress flock performance. The objective of this manual is to provide management techniques that help growers achieve good overall bird performance from day one through to processing while promoting bird health and welfare.
Aviagen applies a balanced approach to genetic progress, concentrating on commercial traits such as growth rate, feed conversion ratio, livability and meat yield, while improving bird welfare in areas such as leg health, cardiovascular fitness and robustness.
Achieving the genetic potential of the birds depends on three key factors:
• Management to provide birds with their required environment.
• A dietary regimen that offers nutrients in the appropriate profile.
• Effective biosecurity and disease control programs.
These three sectors, environment, nutrition and health, are interdependent. A shortfall in anyone will bring negative consequences to the others and if any one of these elements is sub-optimal, broiler performance will suffer.In reality, the guidance of a manual such as this cannot wholly protect against performance variations that may occur for a wide variety of reasons. While every attempt has been made to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the information presented, Aviagen accepts no liability for the consequences of using this information for the management of chickens. Information presented in this manual combines data derived from internal research.
This caselet tries to analyze the problems faced by Reddy Poultry Farms Limited (RPFL) where they had overestimated the poultry market and to add to their further woes, competition was fast catching up. The prices of chicken and eggs had plummeted. They had excess supply and hence had to sell the live birds at various levels of their life cycle at lower than cost price to minimize losses. RPFL tried to venture into packaged meat business as margins were more in this business, but because of the Indian mindset of having fresh chicken, this endeavor also was not picking momentum. Narsimha Reddy the Managing Director of RPFL was in a dilemma whether vertical integration with so many stakeholders was an appropriate decision in this industry. Was there any scope for further integration and/or diversification to increase the turnover?
IFPRI organized a two day workshop on “Agricultural Extension Reforms in South Asia – Status, Challenges, and Policy Options” to be organized at Committee Room 3, NASC, Pusa, New Delhi on February 17-18, 2015. IFPRI has been conducting research related to agricultural extension reforms in India and collaborating with researchers in other south Asian countries for the past five years through various projects. For understanding extension reforms in India, a major consultation was held in NAARM in 2009 during which policy makers called for development of evidence for spreading extension reform process in India. Since then several research papers have been produced on various aspects of Indian extension system. While they are presented in various forms including several discussion papers, there is a need to pull all the research result together to present it in form that could be used by the policy makers to further guide them in the reform process. South Asian countries such as Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka are going through similar challenges in getting knowledge to farmers. Several experiment shave been conducted to test new approaches to extension by the public, private and NGO sectors. Learning from each country experiences will bring collective understanding and knowledge for the policy makers who are attempting to bring changes in the reform process. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together a groups of researchers, analysts and policy makers to present the issues, constraints and challenges facing agricultural extension reforms that are being implemented in South Asian countries.

HISTORICAL OVERVIEW & CURRENT TREND /FACTS
Agricultural Spending of less than 5% of National Budget.
The Livestock sub-sector accounts for about 25% of the
Agricultural GDP and 5.83 % of the national GDP. (Min of
Agric.).
Poultry has the greatest potential for growth - Growth projection:
Poultry – 10% annual G, Pig= 5%G, Fish=>100%G, Cattle=
Flat to 1% Growth.
High cost of production, financing and low buying power slowing
growth.
Demand for animal protein and by extension Eggs/poultry meat
will continue to increase.
Research favors poultry production over beef/cattle production to
meet global protein needs (By economical, environmental and
logistic etc considerations).

CHALLENGES OF THE POULTRY INDUSTRY
2.LACK OF NATIONAL POLICY ON POULTRY:
Narrow and inefficient focus
Poultry deserve same public executive Species focus as Fish, Cassava etc.
Can the Industry continue to depend on uncontrolled/poorly managed/ill-
motivated grain/cereal farming and ‘rogue’ supply chain?
Lack of Subsidy
3.CHANGES IN GLOBAL ENERGY STRUCTURE – Maize for
Biofuel and Soya for Biodiesel. International Wheat no longer
attractive. How do we cope.?
4.COST OF FUND/INADEQUATE FUNDING – Lending rate must be
below 8-10% for Agriculture. How do we make cheap funds and the
existing Agric-targeted provisions available for real growth?.

CHALLENGES OF THE POULTRY INDUSTRY
5. POOR WORKABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION OF REGULATORY AND FOOD
SAFETY PROVISIONS
Streamlining and Harmonising the Implementation Standards in the Poultry Industry is
pertinent against the background of the following -
NAFDAC provisions give Pharmacists statutory roles for sales, distribution, manufacture and
dispensing of Veterinary Pharmaceuticals. Including premixes.
Meat Edict empowers the Veterinary officer for meat health or meat hygiene.
Veterinary Surgeon Decree of 1969
The Animal Disease Control decree of 1988.
Animal Science Practice Law.
Sanitary and Phytosanitary Laws
SON Law
How do we streamline and harmonize for effect?
How do we handle the growing concern for Feed borne or Feed related animal and
Human Health issues – Salmonella, Mycotoxins, Pesticides, Chemical Residues, Common
Source infections etc.
Poor Record Keeping and Disclosure which is keeping the Industry planning process
down and regulatory bodies ineffective.

12. EKO POULTRY SHOW- POULTRY ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (PAN) LAGOS: 26th OCT. 2011
THE WAY FORWARD
1. Central Planning and Collaborative Process
“Failure to plan is planning to fail”- Brian Tracy
All Poultry stakeholders must teamwork more intensely!
Information System and Database for Planning Purposes
Develop a National Strategic Poultry Plan and sell it to the Federal
Govenmnent or go ahead to implement on self regulated private Industry
basis. Strategic planning leaves little to chance. Where are we? Where are
we going?
2. Strong Advocacy Policy
Budget fund/plan for Influencing policies, Network building.
Third Party Power Negotiation for Reserve Grain Stock Management and
Poultry Financing.
3. SecureHeavy subsidy for contract maize and soya
production targeted for Poultry Industry.
PAN to form maize farmers into Out-Growers and Cooperatives
Stakeholders to take advantage of Government efforts. Feed-millers to
position body as partners to growers.
PATRA CONSULT Reinforcing the power to excel
13. EKO POULTRY SHOW- POULTRY ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (PAN) LAGOS: 26th OCT. 2011
THE WAY FORWARD
4.
Large Scale Funding and
Commercialization of production.
National assembly to promulgate law to Mandate Banks,
Oil, GSM and Multinational Companies to invest 5 - 10%
of profit directly in Farming.
Agricultural Financial (At less than 8%lending rate) should
be more robust to target reducing unemployment.
Adjustment in Land Law to accommodate large scale
farming estates and protect Urban/Residential
Encroachment.
5.
Private sector led and scientific research
driven local poultry breed.
Government to establish a poultry development research
institute which is to work with PAN’s research unit to
coordinate a strategic objective of indigenizing our local
poultry breed as is being done in India.

14. EKO POULTRY SHOW- POULTRY ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (PAN) LAGOS: 26th OCT. 2011
THE WAY FORWARD
6. Increase Budgetary Allocation to Agriculture
Revolutionize funding of the Agric. Sector, up to 10% of budgetary allocation,
and by extension the commercial Poultry.
7.
Setting up of Agricultural Commodity and Futures
Exchange Commission.
Internalizes and liberalizes Agric. Commodity trading
By/with Government, to domicile and stabilized global raw material market.
Professional Agric/Egg marketing companies.
8. Regulation and Standardization of Poultry Production for export drive
Adoption of Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), Quality Standardization and Trade
Regulation, Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and Inter-farm distances/location and
National/local Standards on Animal Disease Control.
Food safety and Introduction of HACCP as minimum standard in feed and poultry
production. Standardisation and Regulation (S and R) of Feed Inputs and
Products by (1). Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON) –standard & quality of
processes, materials and products (2). National Agency for Food, Drug
Administration and Control (NAFDAC) - Pharmaceutical additives, premixes and
chemicals. (3). Other supervisory bodies.
Improved the culture of Record Keeping and Record Disclosure must be tackled
headlong. All farmers and feedmillers must disclose data through standards format.

9. NATIONAL POULTRY DEVELOPMENT LAW
PAN National (and possibly at state levels) should craft a
bill covering the pertinent issues to be presented to the
National Assembly.
Self-Regulatory issues, registration, development and
surcharging of each stakeholder to fund marketing,
research, advocacy (etc) are expected to be captured in the
LAW.

FINAL OUTLOOK
Stakeholders in the poultry and Feed Industry have hitherto left things to chance. The
future belongs to those who take their fate in their hands. Rejuvenate PAN National,
regional, state and local networks, NOW!!!.
Government and stakeholders must come up with an Agriculture policy on poultry
industry.
A clear-cut policy position is required on the use of biotechnology and genetically
modified organisms (GMOs) to support the feed industry, which is entering a very
exciting phase of growth for the 2020 economic and food security target.
The poultry industry must increasingly use biotechnology, more scientific
formulations, new molecules and natural and herbal products to improve animal
productivity.
Increased regulatory activities and greater involvement of professionals and self
regulatory will drive the new level of growth.
Commercialization and large scale production (IRRIGATED/OFF-SEASON) to tip
economy of scale towards lower cost of production would be crucial.
More subsidy (to take care of at least 30% cost of production), More agric-friendly
credits and Higher Agricultural spending by Government (minimum 10% budgetary
allocation to Agriculture) and other stakeholders would be crucial.
Government should forge closer working relationship with PAN and the private
sector to move the Industry forward.
