Poultry Farming: A Veritable Tool For Economic Empowerment
Abstract
This design work is primarily designed to give complete understanding of flesh husbandry as an profitable tool marketable flesh husbandry is rehearsed by utmost pastoral homes throughout the developing world; despite the fact that its donation to livelihoods appears to be of little nominal value when observed by experimenters and other outlanders. This design utilizes sustainable livelihood frame to view how marketable flesh contributes to homes. The system of data collection for the design are through questionnaire, particular interview, observation while the data collected were anatomized with the use of Chi-square in the testing of thesis. It was asserted that employment occasion can be enhanced by the engagement of Nigerians in flesh husbandry as a adventure.
CHAPTER ONE
preface
marketable flesh product is rehearsed by utmost pastoral homes through out developing world, despite the fact that its donation to livelihoods appears to be of little nominal value when observed by experimenters and other outlanders. This design utilizes sustainable livelihood frame work to review how marketable flesh contributes to homes and livelihoods.
It would be recalled that the rate of severance in Nigeria is veritably high as reflect by the National Directorate of Employment( NDE) with the statistics that 700,000 jobs were available in the country compared with graduates being turned out by Nigeria Universities. This is as a result of imbalance in labour force, rapid-fire population growth rate and defective educational system among others.
This design write up will concentrate attention on marketable flesh husbandry product. A prospective marketable flesh planter should consider the following factors for the establishment of flesh husbandry
These include toaster product, egg product, and marketing.
Toaster is a North American term used to describe youthful manly or womanish funk lower than 12 weeks old grounded on fast growing types, reared and vended specifically for flesh meat. For toaster product, the velocity of development is veritably high and the current projected profit per toaster is 300.
Egg product the expansion of the business of egg product can incompletely be attributed to quick turn over. The current estimated gross or net diurnal profit from the trade of eggs ranges from# 2,000 layers is# 5000 depending of course on the use of catcalls of superior genotype, provision of favourable terrain and directorial skill.
Position Of The Poultry Farming
Legal concurrence must be attained from applicable authority before establishing flesh enterprise to help the obliteration of structures, climaxing in the termination of the enterprise. The enterprise mustn’t be a source of nuisance in the nature of fowl odor and noise to neighbor. insure access to water, electricity and proper damage.
Capital Outlay This will depend on the size and type of operation and the operation system. For the take off, particular savings of over to# 250,000 can be employed particularly for small scale toaster product. Alternately Agricultural Bank Loans on liberal terns can be considered. Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme( ACGSF) and the National Directorate of Employment( NDE) flesh husbandry scheme can as well give loans to prospective planter.
Manpower needed For a small scale operation, one flesh attendant should be suitable to manage a minimum of 2,000 catcalls either on the deep waste system or in pen. Occasional operations similar as homemade junking of drops and vaccination bear fresh labor which could be handed by the members of the family.
Feed Supply In Nigeria, feed cost accounts for about 70 of the cost of flesh product. This is due to the high cost of some critical feed constituents( eg sludge and soya sap) which are demanded in flesh portion. From the viewpoint of a profitable enterprise, the inheritable eventuality of the catcalls is the morning of employment. This exploration is determined to critically examine flesh husbandry as a veritable tool profitable commission in Nigeria.
Statement Of The Problem
Flesh husbandry as a veritable tool for profitable commission depends largely on the attractiveness of this agrarian sector to the Nigerian youth( youthful graduates), government support in terms of fiscal support( loan, overdraft) and request capabilities for flesh products. In view of this, the following stressed problems are intended to be answered by this exploration work.
· Can flesh husbandry actually give profitable power to the Nigerian youth?
· Is flesh husbandry business doable in the Nigerian frugality?
· Will the Land Use Act of 1978( LUA 1978) not be a stumbling block to the attainment of flesh husbandry as a business concern?
Ideal Of The Study
The ideal of the exploration study work is to examine flesh as a veritable tool for profitable commission.
Compass Of The Study
This exploration work focuses on flesh husbandry as an profitable tool tool for man s commission. Majorly to be delved is egg product as a means of livelihood. thus, it’s limited to a original marketable flesh ranch in Osun State as a case study.
This study intends to dissect the applicable process of egg product and the attracting factors to the Nigerian youth.
Exploration Methodology
The exploration will be conducted to examine flesh husbandry as an profitable tool in the hands of Nigerian youth. The source to be used for this study is grounded on data collected through the two available sources, which are primary and secondary data.
The primary source includes data collection through particular observation, interview, questionnaire, and other primary means of getting information.
The secondary source includes the use of journals, journals, internet, periodic reports of agrarian agencies and some other applicable textbook books.
In the analysis of questionnaire, which were administered in order to get information from the guests and the workers of the enterprise, simple chance will be used to present the colorful data and Chi- Square will also be used test the applicable thesis.
Chi- Square is anon-parameters measure that doesn’t depends on population but deals with frequence count.
Chi- Square is defined by the formulae
X2 = ( o- e) 2
e
= At 5 position of significance = 0.05
= Degree of freedom is given by the formula = ( r- 1)( c- 1)
Statement Of Research Hypothesis
Since the consummate end of this study is to examine flesh husbandry as an profitable tool for profitable commission. The following thesis is thereby drawn for the purpose of this study.
H1 flesh husbandry as an profitable tool enhances employment occasion
H0 flesh husbandry as an profitable tool doesn’t enhance employment occasion.
Exploration Question
Research question are declarative statement meant to gain answer which will state what the experimenter is looking for the purpose of this exploration, the major questions are
v Can flesh husbandry business doable in the Nigeria frugality?
v Can flesh husbandry actually give profitable power to the Nigeria youth?
Defense Of The Study
The experimenter thus, belief that by studying flesh husbandry, it’ll be of benefit to the frugality and individualities likewise. It’ll be salutary to the frugality in the sense that it’ll help us determined how tone exploitable Nigeria youth can be by engaging in flesh husbandry.
This study will inversely estimate opinion of Nigerian on how they perceive flesh husbandry as a means of livelihood. In addition, this study will serve as a reference point for unborn experimenters who wants to embark on a design likewise.
Limitation Of The Study
In the course of justifying this exploration work, information were delicate to pierce because of the strict knowledge and specialized know- style of flesh husbandry which isn’t available to the experimenter. Other constraints include among others
Transportation is one of the problem encountered during the period going up and down to the assiduity to get the demanded information.
Another problem is the associated problem in the process of data collection in relation to scheduling of time. The failure of textbook books as well as on- line accoutrements .
Time Constraints This design exploration as a limited time pause within which the exploration work is to be carried out, completed and submitted for blessing. As a result, further data pertaining to the subject matter of this exploration couldn’t be collected and gathered for analysis.
fiscal Constraint There’s also the deficit of finances to carry out this exploration findings at the experimenter’s disposal.
Lack of co-operation Some of the repliers were reticent or refuse to gain questionnaire from the experimenter on the rationale of time wasting and others who lost theirs indeed lost them.
