چکیده مقاله :

This paper considers the potential problems that may militate against the adoption of organic poultry production in Nigeria. Factors identified include: higher risk of diseases like coccidiosis and Newcastle disease, disease prevention and control / herd health management, disease containment in times of outbreak, land acquisition (land tenure system), market economies / cost-benefit ratio, pasture management, attitudes to change / apathy to change, scarcity of organic inputs, feather pecking, high probability of diets being deficient in amino acids, legislation / policy framework, heavy dependence on fertilizer by northern grain growers, low ratio of veterinary personnel to livestock farmers and shallow penetration of livestock extension services.
