CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

This work is the study of the feasibility of the establishment and successful management of small scale poultry farm at Omuma despite the various rural limitations existing in the town.

The choice of this study did arise from impulse, rather, it was well thought out of the so many years of my association with the town, Omuma where I was born and brought up.

However, my decision to embark on the topic was reinforced by the statement made by G.T. Williams who said modern economic pressures are such that as one could contemplate a future in farming until they first acquire reliable up to data knowledge in every aspects of animal husbandry.

This is a sector of farming which requires more than any other, a careful application of managerial expertise, if one’s capital investment is to be safeguarded / let alone show a profitable return.
