Proclivity to Use Poultry Waste for Productive and Environmentally Safe Management Among Poultry Farmers in Oyo State Nigeria
Abstract
The study investigated the proclivity to use poultry waste for productive and environmentally safe management among poultry farmers in Oyo State, Nigeria.
A total of one hundred and twenty-five (125) poultry farmers were selected using a multi-stage random sampling technique. Data were analysed using percentages, mean and standard deviation. The mean age of respondents was 58 ± 11.7 years, with 64% male and 80.8% being married. The majority (97.6%) had formal education and made an average monthly income of 340,000.00K ± 95,185. Respondents had a high level of awareness (76.8%), had high level of perception (57.6%) and a high proclivity to use poultry waste for productive and environmentally safe management. Labour scarcity ( =1.73) was the major impediment to the use of poultry waste for productive and environmentally safe management. Educational status, awareness level and perception to use poultry waste for productive and environmentally safe management influence proclivity to use poultry waste for productive and environmentally safe management. The respondents are willing to use poultry waste for productive and environmentally safe management. Younger people should be encouraged to take up poultry production as a profession and engineers should develop small equipment that can be used to dispose wastes.
