A systematic and planned technology development of rural poultry production into
small commercial units holds a tremendous potential for growth in rural areas,
especially owing to consumer preference for indigenous chicken, egg and meat.
Though poultry development in Nigeria has taken a quantum leap in the last two
decades, the growth has been mainly restricted to commercial poultry. Rural poultry
production can generate income in increasing levels, employment opportunities to
small holders and can also bring about desired socio-economic changes in rural areas
which are vital for rural development and rural prosperity. Hence, there is the need to
strengthen rural women’s capacity for increased technology development in poultry
production for increase production and profitability
The document discusses agriculture and rural economy in India. It covers various topics like production systems, types of crops, essentials for crop production, cropping patterns, role of agriculture in the national income and economy. It notes that agriculture was the largest employment provider and contributor to national income but its contribution is declining as the economy develops. Various agricultural reforms and plans to increase production and growth in the sector are also summarized.
Agriculture is the art and science of cultivating soil, growing crops, and raising livestock to produce food and other goods. There are three main types of agricultural subsistence: intensive, shifting cultivation, and pastoral nomadism. Agriculture provides most of the world's food and other materials like cotton and wool.
While agriculture plays a vital role, it also presents challenges. Studying agriculture is complex with many subjects to learn. Farming lifts people out of poverty but can also harm the environment through issues like climate change and soil degradation. Modern technology helps but agriculture still impacts human health, linked to both undernutrition and overnutrition. Farmers face health risks from their work.

Economic Analysis of Poultry Egg Production in Quetta Districtsanaullah noonari
The poultry sector is one of the most organized and vibrant segments of the agriculture industry of Pakistan. This
sector generates direct and indirect employment and income for about 1.5 million people. Its contribution in agriculture
and livestock is 6.4 percent and 11.5 percent, respectively. Pakistan has been producing 10,000 million table eggs and
1,196 metric tons of chicken meat annually. Thus the egg poultry (layers) farmers in district Quetta, Baluchistan are
incurred total expenditures of Rs.526950.00 per farm, respectively. However, the selected egg poultry farmers paid
equipments of expenditures of Rs.73450.00 per farm, expenditures rearing Rs.151500.00. The labour cost paid by the
selected egg poultry farmers was Rs.100000.00 per farm. As far as marketing expenses are concerned the selected
egg poultry farmers incurred Rs.162000.00 per farm. Thus the selected tomato growers in district Quetta, Baluchistan
incurred a total average cost of production of Rs.526950.00 per farm. It was also observed that the selected egg
poultry farmers in the Quetta, Baluchistan area earned a total physical productivity of per 1000 bird farm (18 dozen
eggs/bird for 900 birds, 900 spent hens weighing 1.5 kg each) and earned a gross income of Rs.1430200.00 per farm.
It was further estimated that the selected egg poultry farmers after incurring all expenditure and sale of produce earned
net income of Rs.71133.00 per farm at a benefit cost ratio of 1:0.81. High profit was observed in poultry egg farming
in Quetta.

Livestock, livelihoods and the future of India’s smallholder farmersILRI
Smallholder farmers in India produce much of the country's livestock and dairy, contributing significantly to agricultural GDP and livelihoods. Rising global and domestic demand for livestock products presents opportunities but also risks. If met through imports or industrialization, it could harm the Indian economy, environment, and many livelihoods. However, transforming smallholder livestock systems sustainably could help millions improve production and livelihoods, maintaining India's economic growth. The conference aimed to discuss actions supporting smallholders to meet future demand for animal-source foods in an equitable and sustainable manner.
The 3rd GRAPAS Conference, held in Bangkok during the Victam Exhibition in April earlier this year attracted up to 130 delegates, many of whom are flour and rice milers, during the course of the day and over the three sessions.

Determinants of output among pig farmers in abia state, nigeriaAlexander Decker
This study examined the determinants of output among pig farmers in Abia State, Nigeria. A survey was conducted of 30 pig farmers randomly selected from lists provided by the Abia State Ministry of Agriculture. The regression results identified stock size, labor costs, and cost of feed as significant determinants of pig output. Specifically, the analysis found that increased stock size and feed intake led to higher production and income for farmers. However, higher labor costs reduced farm income, suggesting labor-saving strategies could help farmers. The study recommends technologies for sourcing lower-cost feed and support from organizations to improve pig farming practices and incomes in the region.

Achieving Agenda 2030: Livestock research and the transformation of small-sca...ILRI
1) Global demand for meat, milk, and eggs is rising rapidly in developing countries, where smallholders currently produce much of the supply.
2) Transforming smallholder livestock production into a more productive and resilient system can help achieve several UN Sustainable Development Goals and benefit women and youth.
3) Livestock research plays a key role in this transformation by developing solutions to improve productivity, health, feeding, and management practices for smallholder farmers.
Small livestock like poultry, rabbits, and guinea pigs can help achieve several UN Millennium Development Goals through poverty reduction and improved nutrition, health, and empowerment of women. Keeping small livestock allows even landless families to generate income, provides high-quality food, and produces manure for crops. Projects supporting small livestock have increased incomes, school attendance, and consumption of protein-rich foods in developing countries.

Integrating crop and livestock in smallholder production systems_Dr Pascal Ny...NyabinwaPascal
Dr. Pascal Nyabinwa discusses integrating crop and livestock farming in smallholder production systems in Sub-Saharan Africa. Smallholder farmers currently face challenges of population growth, climate change, and food insecurity. Integrated crop-livestock systems can help meet increasing demand for food by 2050 by using crop and livestock byproducts as inputs for each other. However, challenges include low nutrient content of crop residues as animal feed and nutrient losses from manure. Establishing effective forage seed systems is key to supporting sustainable crop-livestock integration, but current systems in Rwanda are informal with gaps in quality and quantity. Improved investment, policies, and technologies are needed to realize the benefits of integrated systems.

IMPACT OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE ON HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AMONG...IAEME Publication
There is increasing acceptability of emotional intelligence as a major factor in personality assessment and effective human resource management. Emotional intelligence as the ability to build capacity, empathize, co-operate, motivate and develop others cannot be divorced from both effective performance and human resource management systems. The human person is crucial in defining organizational leadership and fortunes in terms of challenges and opportunities and walking across both multinational and bilateral relationships. The growing complexity of the business world requires a great deal of self-confidence, integrity, communication, conflict and diversity management to keep the global enterprise within the paths of productivity and sustainability. Using the exploratory research design and 255 participants the result of this original study indicates strong positive correlation between emotional intelligence and effective human resource management. The paper offers suggestions on further studies between emotional intelligence and human capital development and recommends for conflict management as an integral part of effective human resource management.

A STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PERFO...IAEME Publication
The main objective of this study is to analyze the impact of aspects of Organizational Culture on the Effectiveness of the Performance Management System (PMS) in the Health Care Organization at Thanjavur. Organizational Culture and PMS play a crucial role in present-day organizations in achieving their objectives. PMS needs employees’ cooperation to achieve its intended objectives. Employees' cooperation depends upon the organization’s culture. The present study uses exploratory research to examine the relationship between the Organization's culture and the Effectiveness of the Performance Management System. The study uses a Structured Questionnaire to collect the primary data. For this study, Thirty-six non-clinical employees were selected from twelve randomly selected Health Care organizations at Thanjavur. Thirty-two fully completed questionnaires were received.
Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.
A STUDY ON TALENT MANAGEMENT AND ITS IMPACT ON EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN SELECTED...IAEME Publication
The goal of this study was to see how talent management affected employee retention in the selected IT organizations in Chennai. The fundamental issue was the difficulty to attract, hire, and retain talented personnel who perform well and the gap between supply and demand of talent acquisition and retaining them within the firms. The study's main goals were to determine the impact of talent management on employee retention in IT companies in Chennai, investigate talent management strategies that IT companies could use to improve talent acquisition, performance management, career planning and formulate retention strategies that the IT firms could use. The respondents were given a structured close-ended questionnaire with the 5 Point Likert Scale as part of the study's quantitative research design. The target population consisted of 289 IT professionals. The questionnaires were distributed and collected by the researcher directly. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to collect and analyse the questionnaire responses. Hypotheses that were formulated for the various areas of the study were tested using a variety of statistical tests. The key findings of the study suggested that talent management had an impact on employee retention. The studies also found that there is a clear link between the implementation of talent management and retention measures. Management should provide enough training and development for employees, clarify job responsibilities, provide adequate remuneration packages, and recognise employees for exceptional performance.
ATTRITION IN THE IT INDUSTRY DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC: LINKING EMOTIONAL INTE...IAEME Publication
Globally, Millions of dollars were spent by the organizations for employing skilled Information Technology (IT) professionals. It is costly to replace unskilled employees with IT professionals possessing technical skills and competencies that aid in interconnecting the business processes. The organization’s employment tactics were forced to alter by globalization along with technological innovations as they consistently diminish to remain lean, outsource to concentrate on core competencies along with restructuring/reallocate personnel to gather efficiency. As other jobs, organizations or professions have become reasonably more appropriate in a shifting employment landscape, the above alterations trigger both involuntary as well as voluntary turnover. The employee view on jobs is also afflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic along with the employee-driven labour market. So, having effective strategies is necessary to tackle the withdrawal rate of employees. By associating Emotional Intelligence (EI) along with Talent Management (TM) in the IT industry, the rise in attrition rate was analyzed in this study. Only 303 respondents were collected out of 350 participants to whom questionnaires were distributed. From the employees of IT organizations located in Bangalore (India), the data were congregated. A simple random sampling methodology was employed to congregate data as of the respondents. Generating the hypothesis along with testing is eventuated. The effect of EI and TM along with regression analysis between TM and EI was analyzed. The outcomes indicated that employee and Organizational Performance (OP) were elevated by effective EI along with TM.
INFLUENCE OF TALENT MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE A STUD...IAEME Publication
By implementing talent management strategy, organizations would have the option to retain their skilled professionals while additionally working on their overall performance. It is the course of appropriately utilizing the ideal individuals, setting them up for future top positions, exploring and dealing with their performance, and holding them back from leaving the organization. It is employee performance that determines the success of every organization. The firm quickly obtains an upper hand over its rivals in the event that its employees having particular skills that cannot be duplicated by the competitors. Thus, firms are centred on creating successful talent management practices and processes to deal with the unique human resources. Firms are additionally endeavouring to keep their top/key staff since on the off chance that they leave; the whole store of information leaves the firm's hands. The study's objective was to determine the impact of talent management on organizational performance among the selected IT organizations in Chennai. The study recommends that talent management limitedly affects performance. On the off chance that this talent is appropriately management and implemented properly, organizations might benefit as much as possible from their maintained assets to support development and productivity, both monetarily and non-monetarily.
A STUDY OF VARIOUS TYPES OF LOANS OF SELECTED PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS...IAEME Publication
Banking regulations act of India, 1949 defines banking as “acceptance of deposits for the purpose of lending or investment from the public, repayment on demand or otherwise and withdrawable through cheques, drafts order or otherwise”, the major participants of the Indian financial system are commercial banks, the financial institution encompassing term lending institutions. Investments institutions, specialized financial institution and the state level development banks, non banking financial companies (NBFC) and other market intermediaries such has the stock brokers and money lenders are among the oldest of the certain variants of NBFC and the oldest market participants. The asset quality of banks is one of the most important indicators of their financial health. The Indian banking sector has been facing severe problems of increasing Non- Performing Assets (NPAs). The NPAs growth directly and indirectly affects the quality of assets and profitability of banks. It also shows the efficiency of banks credit risk management and the recovery effectiveness. NPA do not generate any income, whereas, the bank is required to make provisions for such as assets that why is a double edge weapon. This paper outlines the concept of quality of bank loans of different types like Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of selected public and private sector banks. This study is highlighting problems associated with the role of commercial bank in financing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME). The overall objective of the research was to assess the effect of the financing provisions existing for the setting up and operations of MSMEs in the country and to generate recommendations for more robust financing mechanisms for successful operation of the MSMEs, in turn understanding the impact of MSME loans on financial institutions due to NPA. There are many research conducted on the topic of Non- Performing Assets (NPA) Management, concerning particular bank, comparative study of public and private banks etc. In this paper the researcher is considering the aggregate data of selected public sector and private sector banks and attempts to compare the NPA of Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of public and private sector banks. The tools used in the study are average and Anova test and variance. The findings reveal that NPA is common problem for both public and private sector banks and is associated with all types of loans either that is housing loans, agriculture loans and loans to SMES. NPAs of both public and private sector banks show the increasing trend. In 2010-11 GNPA of public and private sector were at same level it was 2% but after 2010-11 it increased in many fold and at present there is GNPA in some more than 15%. It shows the dark area of Indian banking sector.

ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.
OPTIMAL RECONFIGURATION OF POWER DISTRIBUTION RADIAL NETWORK USING HYBRID MET...IAEME Publication
Distribution system is a critical link between the electric power distributor and the consumers. Most of the distribution networks commonly used by the electric utility is the radial distribution network. However in this type of network, it has technical issues such as enormous power losses which affect the quality of the supply. Nowadays, the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the system help improve and support the voltage profile of the network as well as the performance of the system components through power loss mitigation. In this study network reconfiguration was done using two meta-heuristic algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance power quality and voltage profile in the system when simultaneously applied with the DG units. Backward/Forward Sweep Method was used in the load flow analysis and simulated using the MATLAB program. Five cases were considered in the Reconfiguration based on the contribution of DG units. The proposed method was tested using IEEE 33 bus system. Based on the results, there was a voltage profile improvement in the system from 0.9038 p.u. to 0.9594 p.u.. The integration of DG in the network also reduced power losses from 210.98 kW to 69.3963 kW. Simulated results are drawn to show the performance of each case.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

1. INTRODUCTION
The supply of animal protein is very important as the population increases every day in the
developing countries. Poultry is one of the major sources of animal protein and is generally
accepted worldwide. Poultry production is the fastest growing component of global meat
production. Poultry are considered as a productive asset for the household and has important
contribution to food security for the household. This is because, poultry mainly provides meat
and eggs which increase households’ consumption of animal sourced food. Moreover, the
contribution of poultry to food security can be related with income from sales of poultry and
poultry products, which are often used for purchase of addition food items necessary for the
household from the market. Other reasons for sales of poultry are to decrease flock size,
sacrifices for festivals and disposal of less productive birds. Chicken is the most popular type
of poultry reared for egg and meat (Ogunlade and Adebayo, 2009). Village chicken
production is extensive and dominated by indigenous chickens that exhibit remarkable
adaptation to local environment; farmers preferred the local breeds over other breeds and
these indigenous chickens are prevalent in the rural areas because it is central to the livelihood
of rural populace and they represent valuable resources for livestock development because of
their extensive genetic diversity which allowed for rearing of poultry under varied
environmental conditions. Smallholder poultry production is practiced by most rural
households throughout the developing world. Productivity of village chicken is low and is
hampered by problems of feed shortage, low chick survival rate, transportation, weather
change, poor extension services, high prevalence of poultry diseases, inadequate supply of
vaccines and medicines and lack of good housing management (Garba et al., 2013; Billah et
al., 2013).
2. CHALLENGES OF RURAL POULTRY PRODUCTION
2.1. Food Supply and Housing Challenge
Most producers have the mentality that the birds should look after themselves especially by
scavenging for food freely on range throughout the day after provision of few grains in the
morning because of high cost of poultry feed and thereafter at night sleeping on tree branches
or on top of house (Sharaunga et al., 2014). Food supply in most rural areas consist mainly of
starch grains which supply energy requirement for life but inadequate in necessary protein for
growth and good health of the birds. Insufficient protein intake in poultry results in lowered
body weight. In the early stage of birds, there is reduced appetite, lowered feed intake,
reduced nitrogen retention, poor feed efficiency, inferior growth rate, lack of muscle
development and prolonged time to reach maturity (Pauwel et al., 2015). Inappropriate
feeding regime and poor management all constitutes negative impact on production, knowing
that increase in egg and meat production can be achieved through adequate and balance
nutrition. Increased production is predicted to lead to more access to meat and eggs in rural
communities, which will result in increased household animal protein consumption ((Sonaiya,
2016; Dessie, 2017).Village chicken producers do not realize the value of village chicken,
their worth and how much they could contribute to their livelihoods if well managed as a
business enterprise. Human population is growing and creating a significant and increasing
demand for additional animal protein foods, this call for rural chicken producers to put value
in their production by shifting from family production to business production, hence, the
challenge of growing chickens efficiently in resource-poor communities and maintaining a
high body weight at market age.
3. Strengthening Rural Women’s Capacity for Technology Development in Poultry Production in Nigeria
http://www.iaeme.com/IJMET/index.asp 692 editor@iaeme.com
2.2. Health Challenge
High incidence of disease is one of the major constraints to smallholder poultry production
systems in Nigeria. In order to control various poultry diseases, traditional medicine is widely
practiced by rural resource-poor poultry farmers. The reliance of traditional medicine by rural
poultry farmers is due mainly to problems like inadequate supply of orthodox drugs, lack of
finance, exorbitant cost, poor storage facilities and unavailability of consultancy advice from
veterinary officers in remote villages (Ekemezie and Fasanmi, 2007). The traditional way of
rearing livestock originally uses less of synthetic drugs, although the birds raised are hardy in
nature. Birds are almost never vaccinated. The rural small poultry farmers have developed
indigenous methods or technologies for coping with the health related problems through
indigenous knowledge. The practical applications of indigenous medicinal herbs/plant
extracts are being explored for improving poultry health as well as production with fruitful
results (Kuldeep Dhama et al., 2015).
2.3. Improved Breed Challenge
In order to address the factors militating against high chicken production and productivity at
the smallholder level, research efforts in the area of genetics and breeding amongst others
have been made in the past three decades (Sonaiya, 2016). One of such is the development of
chicken genotypes that are adapted to the prevailing tropical conditions. However, an
intervention of African Chicken Genetic Gains (ACGG) is to provide improved breeds of
chickens to rural women. ACGG is a project working with diverse stakeholders including
universities, national research institutes and the private sector to increase smallholder chicken
production and productivity growth as a pathway out of poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. The
intervention of ACGG is to transform smallholder chicken production into commercially
viable enterprise (Carletto et al., 2017) with active private sector engagement that empowers
rural women, increases income and nutrition of their family through delivery of more
productive locally adaptable chicken, production inputs and services to rural communities
2.4. Challenge of Low Level of Education
When family resource becomes scarce, education for girl child in the rural communities may
be seen as luxury. When the household income declines, girls are more likely to be withdrawn
from school and take on more menial work responsibilities to get money. Due to lack of
education, it becomes difficult for women to access credit facilities and other agencies that are
relevant to entrepreneurship development
2.5. Challenge of High Maternal Mortality
One of the problems confronting developing and underdeveloped countries globally is high
maternal mortality, poverty is one of the major factors influencing maternal mortality this
compounded by the economic down turn which has manifested in high food prices, low
medical care, communal clash and poor sanitation; resulting in many more being pushed
along the poverty line with women being the most hit (Rammohan et al., 2012)
3. WAY FORWARD FOR STRENGTHENING RURAL WOMEN’S
CAPACITY
3.1. Development of feed formulation application
Most of the village chicken producers are not buoyant enough to buy commercial feed that
will meet the nutrient requirement of each class of birds, so available local alternative feed
ingredient such as kitchen remnant, waste of soybean cake, waste from maize, sorghum, dry
fish, cray fish, vegetables etc. can be used to compound balance feed for chickens. The
4. Alabi, O.O., Ajala, A.O., Olawoye, S.O and Animashahun R.A.
http://www.iaeme.com/IJMET/index.asp 693 editor@iaeme.com
development of feed formulation application can be developed for increase production and
this will alleviate the challenge of food supply.
3.2. Adoption of Modern Housing Technologies
Birds that are reared under a controlled environment are monitored properly and perform
better. A good housing should be provided for village chickens for increased productivity.
3.3. Community Health Workers (CHW)
Community health workers should be trained by veterinary doctors for improved health care
delivery services for the small holder chicken sector (Chang et al., 2018). The community
health workers help to bridge the gap of unavailability of consultancy advice from veterinary
officers in remote villages, with the presence of CHW there will access to adequate animal
health services which will help to provide wholesome and safe poultry products.
3.4. Formulation and registration of cooperative society
Most of the women in rural areas that are involved in poultry production should be
encouraged to form cooperative society for the benefits of working together as a recognized
body and such cooperative should be registered by the government.
3.5. Training to enhance capacity
Training will strengthens women’s capacity to perform effectively and will be better equipped
to tackle the challenges of poultry production, training of smallholders’ chicken producers is
very important, especially with the adoption of modern agricultural techniques that are
tailored to local conditions and the use of natural resources in a sustainable manner, with a
view to achieving economic development without degrading the environment. Gender issues
should be adequately addressed particularly decision making on the chicken production
(Bullough et al., 2015)
4. CONCLUSIONS
Technological development of rural poultry production will enhance production that will
result in improved production, increased income, better nutrition and availability of animal
protein in sufficient quantity and quality.
