Alemu Yami | Tadele Desie
In Ethiopia, poultry have a tremendous potential for meeting the animal protein requirements of the population. Chicken are the most important type of poultry raised in the country. Poultry production is conducted mainly under two systems of management; namely the rural (village) production system and relatively advanced commercial system. A third system of production, i.e. small scale family based intensive production system is coming up mainly in urban and peri-urban areas. Research and development work on poultry have been conducted by different institutions in the country for more than 40 years without adequate coordination of efforts. This paper describes the production systems. Present activities and past achievements of Institutions involved in poultry research and development are briefly outined. Recommendations for the future development of the industry are also forwarded.
