Meaning of
Poultry
Poultry
comes from the French /Norman word, (pullus), which means small animal, but in
a more comprehensive form, it is seen as a category of domesticated birds kept
by humans for the purpose of collecting their eggs or droppings, slaughtering
them for their meat, and/or feathers. These are most typically members of the
super order Galloanserae (fowl), especially the order Galliformes (which
includes chickens, quails and turkeys ) and the family Anatidae (in the order
Anseric forms), commonly known as water fowl†(e.g. domestic (ducks and
domestic geese) poultry also includes other birds such as pigeons or dovesÂ
which can also be slaughtered for their meat Poultry in this part of the world
can be regarded as an umbrella that covers a variety of birds such as chicken,
turkey quail etc whose basic purpose of been kept is to convert feeds to meat
and egg, which are of economic value to man.Historically, the growth of poultry
began as a result of the advantage it had over other livestock. These
advantages include high protein level in human diet (flock, 1994), source of income
to the owners, Nelson (1998), source of nutrients for land improvement Agboola,
et al (1997) and employment generation for the unemployed, Ravi (1998). The
poultry industry is one of the most popular livestock enterprises in the world
today. Law and Payne (1996) stated that the world production of poultry meat
represented 23.6% of all meat in 1992. North America had the highest production
at 45.2kg per head. In USA chicken consumption alone overtook that of pork in
1986 and beef in 1988. Okunaiya (1986) fund that Nigeria had the largest
poultry population in black Africa. According to him, poultry contributed
highly to animal protein consumption and gross domestic product. Omonona and
Oni (2004) maintained that poultry was one of the quickest ways for rapid
increase in protein supply in the short run, and it also provides food, income,
employment and industrial raw materials and manure for crop production.

Poultry
Management
According to
Ovwigho et al (2009), in virtually all rural areas, poultry production is
carried out on small scale under the extensive or traditional and
semi-intensive system. But the three major types of poultry management systems
are namely extensive semi-intensive and intensive systems. Adegbola et al
(1986) further classified the systems of poultry management in the tropics into
traditional, free range, restricted range and intensive range systems.The
extensive system is also known as the free range system. According to willamson
(1978), this system of poultry management exposes birds to predators and
unfavorable weather conditions. B. O Ovwigho et al (2009) also commented that
this system of poultry keeping had continued to thrive in the tropics in spite
of the new technologies. The intensive system of poultry keeping is the one
that requires adequate and proper management of the birds by the poultry
farmer. The poultry farmer houses the birds in a poultry house at a stocking
density that is convenient for the birds. He provides them with adequate supply
of foods and water in the right quantity and at the right time. He takes proper
care of the poultry house and its environment to ensure a disease free
environment and also provides the birds with the necessary vaccines at the
necessary time. The above listed things being the routine activities in
intensive system of poultry management makes it a little bit more demanding in
terms of the needed attention and capital compared to others.In extensive
system, birds are given the freedom to run about and fend for themselves with little
or no care given to them while in semi-intensive, the birds are sometimes
allowed to roam in search of food, they have less attention of the poultry
farmer compared to that of the intensive system and they are exposed to risk
and harm.
According to
Andrew (1986), Portsmouth (1972) and Obinne (1986), Any poultry management
system that is to be adopted depends on certain conditions in order to ensure a
high level of productivity and profitability. It also depends on the kind of
birds you are rearing. For Example a farmer producing layers, thinks of making
use of either the caped layer production or floor production, both of which are
under the intensive system of poultry management.
