Presented at the 19th Ethiopian Society of Animal
production Annual Conference
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 15-17 December 2011
Poultry value chain development
based on experiences of IPMS
and partners
Ketema Yilma
Poultry project locations
Main diagnosis
• Market potential of poultry recognized by farmers, local traders and
restaurants. News of Avian Flu was major reason for delay in
development at project start.
• Inadequate knowledge and skills on commercial poultry production
systems among value chain actors.
• Poultry rearing and selling of products was mostly done by women.
• Egg production of local poultry systems was poor
• Input supply system poorly developed
• Local producers had very few linkages with other value chain actors.
Extension: Training & K-
management
Target women /entrepreneurial
Training is mainly participatory
Participants are consulted to identify venue &
time of training
Build on their indigenous K,
Impart new info & K through
theoretical/practical training, study tours, and
farmers field days
Training environment
Cordial environment
Introduce new technology
Handover the stick
Learning by visiting
Practical hand-on training
Training and skill transfer to WoA staff
Agri-portal
Generate K through graduate
studies
Production interventions
Introduction of semi-intensive farms (50-400
egg laying units
Credit
Feed, vaccination and drug use
Housing
Introduction of semi-intensive units
Larger chicken units in peri-urban areas
Input intervention
Testing of small scale incubators (Chinese water hatching
technology, Tegene metal box hatchery (produced in
Addis)and finally fully automated model)
Development of community based pullet production (5
Group/clusters 10-20 women with 50 day-old chickens in
Dale )
Credit service:
Community based vaccination
Linkage with feed suppliers plus
Hay box brooders
Linkages of agro feed processors with egg producers
/input supply shops (Credit)
Community based pullet production
Day old chicks in hay box
Pullets in runner after 20 weeks
Community based pullets production
Supply of day-old chicks
Pullets raised for sell
Pullets sold to egg producers
Women in groups/cluster
Feed and vaccination
Linking producers
Marketing and processing
Direct supply to shops/restaurants Linking producers to bulkers
Processing!
What do U do with egg layers that have
finished their production cycle?
Identify customers and,
Learn skills for slaughtering & packaging

Community based pullet raising
80 women managed to raise 3733 (of which
3376 pullets were sold while 357 was kept by
women).
Pullets were sold to urban farmers in Y. Alem,
Awassa and Boricha woreda, Safety net
program
Survival was 93.3% (mortality 6.7%)
The average net return per member was Birr
812 (with a range of 2400 at the highest and
Birr 500 the lowest)

Lessons
• Knowledge sharing, trainings, follow up of interventions, and partner linkages
contribute to improving the skills & knowledge of value chain actors and service
providers, including women.
• Rapid market assessments are helpful in identifying potential markets.
• Village level egg hatching has not resulted in a viable and sustainable system.
• Farmers can profitably produce pullets from day old chicks, for own use or sale if
appropriate linkages with veterinary services and feed suppliers are established.
• Farmers with larger number of birds easily took up advanced production
practices including housing, feeding and disease control.
• Farmers (including women) can administer vaccines. However, sustainability of
the supply will depend on establishment of dealerships linked to vaccine
producers.
• Improved feed supply can be initiated through collective action, cooperatives, or
ago dealerships.
• Credit availability to establish medium sized poultry enterprises
• Integration of dairy with poultry

This is the culprit!
Making available thermo-stable vaccines
Where are we in providing smaller dose of
vaccines (how small?)
Option for small scale hatchery!?
Village level distribution of chickens
