The future of village poultry production
• What are small-scale and village poultry production systems?
• Why should we care about village poultry production?
• What are the development objectives for village poultry production?
• What strategies, options and technologies have contributed to achieving these objectives?
• What are the lessons learned?

Improving village poultry production
• Why care about village poultry production?
• What to achieve
Second Global AgriKnowledge Share Fair,IFAD, Rome, 28 September, 11.00-12.00
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
• Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
• Achieve universal primary education
• Promote gender equality and empower women
• Reduce child mortality
• Improve maternal health
• Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases
• Ensure environmental sustainability
• Develop a global partnership for development
Second Global AgriKnowledge Share Fair,IFAD, Rome, 28 September, 11.00-12.00
Health care and vaccination
• Appropriate vaccine and distribution mechanisms
• Economic sustainability based on commercialization
• Support and coordination by relevant agencies
Second Global AgriKnowledge Share Fair,IFAD, Rome, 28 September, 11.00-12.00
Management and Feeding
• Protecting young and adult birds from losses.
• Improving feeding techniques
Second Global AgriKnowledge Share Fair,IFAD, Rome, 28 September, 11.00-12.00
Mini hatcheries
• Availability of healthy DOC is key for improvement of the system
• In remote locations DOC production may be required on site
• A new „sand model“ has been developed in Bangladesh
Second Global AgriKnowledge Share Fair,IFAD, Rome, 28 September, 11.00-12.00
Genetic improvement
• Use of commercial poultry genotypes
• Selection within the local populations
• Cross-breeding for village conditions either with structured or unstructured programmes
Second Global AgriKnowledge Share Fair,IFAD, Rome, 28 September, 11.00-12.00
Genetic improvement –Two cases
• Crossbreeding of the Sonali in Bangladesh– 2010 about 60
hatcheries, 27% of broiler, 81% layer population (150 mil.)
• Kuroiler by Kegg farms in India– In India > 20 Million
birds distributed to 1mil. households
– Programmes in South Asia, Uganda, Ethiopia
Second Global AgriKnowledge Share Fair,IFAD, Rome, 28 September, 11.00-12.00
Training
• Extensive training is required– Technical issues– Marketing and
financial issues
Second Global AgriKnowledge Share Fair,IFAD, Rome, 28 September, 11.00-12.00
Networking
• Exchange of information and experiences
– WPSA– International Network for
Family Poultry Development (INFPD)
– Internaltional Rural Pouiltry Centre (IRPC) of KYEEMA foundation
– South Asia Pro-poor Policy Programme
– Community of Practice for Pro-Poor Livestock Development (CoP)
Second Global AgriKnowledge Share Fair,IFAD, Rome, 28 September, 11.00-12.00
Smallholder Poultry Development Programme
• Joint implementation of INFPD-KYEEMA-FAO-IFAD
• Training of Associate Poultry Advisers (APA)
• Knowledge management– Family Poultry
Communications – INFPD website– e-conferences
• Decision Tools for Family Poultry Development
• Developing the Network

Lessons learned from programmes
• Due consideration of main motivations and knowledge of producers, and opportunities for reliable delivery of improved services and inputs.
• The likelihood of success is higher with a comprehensive approach that includes all technical aspects but also motivation, group organization and intensive “hands-on” training in poultry management.
• Support with marketing of products is important for quick adoption and disseminating of innovative and adapted technologies.
