Sustainable Poultry Keeping

Many have always regarded keeping of poultry only as a source of food and for this reason they have failed to realize the great potential of turning poultry keeping into a business and source of income.Given the fact that poultry are core in the western province as it is a popular food/meal in the region,there has been a large untapped poultry market in the region.
To aid in realizing this opportunity was an NGO by the name WEWASAFO which through its Food security and sustainable agriculture department introduced the idea of poultry keeping as an income eaner and lucrative source of business in the region.
through their sensitization program the team managed to find a large number of farmers,provided them with initial capital & birds for rearing to commence the programs popularity referred to as ''Kuku wa Kienyeji ni pesa''
The farmers are constantly visited and advised on issues to do with housing,disease control by conducting vaccinations,production as well as assisting them on  marketing of the matured birds.This way chicken farmers have a reason to smile.
