Dear Participants, It is now time to turn our attention to the themes of week 3 which are: 1. Women empowerment through sustainable family poultry development.
· Can development of family poultry make an important contribution to women's empowerment?
· What are the requirements and constraints for contribution of family poultry to women empowerment?
I would like to draw your attention to Turkey, where we had an ideal family poultry system developed since 1970's. I am enclosing a scientific paper wich analysed these family egg-producers. The paper was published in World Poultry Science and I am the author. I hope this paper will contribute to the outgoing discussion.
Dear All, I would like to contribute to the current theme (Week 3). 1. To me development of family poultry can make an important contribution to women's empowerment because: the study of Badubi et al. (2006) in Botswana showed that most family poultry are reared and cared for by women. So if this resource can be supported positively most women will be assisted and the effects of poverty be reduced especially in women headed families.. - The requirements would include access to markets or pronounced marketing systems to support this resource, feeds which will promote growth rates and should be
Dear all, I would like to draw your attention to India, where dual purpose colored chickens (KUROILERS)developed by the author while working in leading private poultry breeding company had played an enabling role in family poultry system since 1990’s. Now the same birds are performing excellently in Africa.
I am attaching an article on KUROILRES written by me for your information pl.
I wonder if there are experiences of confining indigenous chickens (in a chickens house at night and in a fenced area during the day)? This of course implies feeding them mainly with commercial feed. Is it possible to envisage to raise indigenous chicken in an intensive system or should farmers be encouraged to raise exotic breed if they want to go intensive?

I would like to respond to the views of Dr. Saleque on immensely successful BRAC model for FP. The fact that the value chain is too long in case of indigenous chicken with higher no. of middlemen leading to low remuneration to primary producer and high price for consumers is very worrisome. However with suggestions for the government to take an active role in the promotion of both core and services markets, I wonder what would be the turning point when we decide that FP should be more economically viable/ sustainable in a more commercial way rather than
There is lots of experience from the Department of Animal Science, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife in Nigeria, in the housing of indigenous chicken in floor pens indoors. For my Masters project, We practically collected various strains of indigenous chickens from several regions of Nigeria as foundation stock from which we derived what we called ecotypes (two distinct ecotypes) based on growth performance. These birds were confined and fed commercial feed through several generations to allow us study the growth characteristics of the chicks produced from the foundation stock as well as the eqg production and quality.

Influencer la politique vis à vis de l aviculture familiale.
Que peuvent faire les politiques pour soutenir l'aviculture familiale?- Pour soutenir l'aviculture familiale, il faut combiner quatre types de soutien:
La disponibilité d'un vaccin de qualité, des vaccinateurs villageois bien formés, équipés et bien suivi, la disponibilité d'aliment poussin à base de produits locaux et l'accès au crédit

Dear Coordinators and participants I am fully agreed with Mr. Sujit Nayak’s views. I am working more than one decade in the field of small holder livestock and poultry production for sustainable development of poor people . I can shear my observation: Poor people start with poultry ( one of the important livelihood option ) with the assistance of GO/NGOs . They do well and get return /benefit . But different disaster (Flood, Super cyclone, Tidal surge ) come and damage their livelihood option ( family poultry and farm animal). Therefore how we make sustainable family poultry program and how

Single versus multiple (integrated) interventions for sustainable development of family poultry.
The traditional family poultry production system that has endured for centuries will continue for the next century without any intervention as long as our rural environment and people persist. However output and impact on family income and nutrition will also remain at current level.
I would like to appreciate some of the interventions mentioned for Burkina Faso- with bio/ quality assays for poultry products is interesting. I would like also like to share some loud thinking against the following topics:
· How would we define sustainable development of FP?
Due to the little inputs and efforts required, poultry keeping has been a very resilient activity. It is noted that in some war-torn places, poultry surfaces first as a supportive activity. However, sustainability of the activity in FP would be very difficult to define as it is dynamic- in the sense

In Sri Lanka the land holdings of recipient are limited. Therefore, I found that by providing such families with a flock of birds with different adult body sizes gave a better production (with scavnging only) than a unform size flock of birds such as Giriraj and Vanaraj. This is due to the limitation of the feed resource base and th body maintenance requiements. Plase refer Guneratne SP and Roberts paper on feed resource base.
Thank you for the input. It may also be pertinent to mention that in our FP scheme we are providing 4-week old chicks in tapering manner in 3 stages -20,15,10 approx 16 week apart. This however is keeping in view the fact that after 16 weeks the farmer can sell off the males and have another batch from the money which s/he gets- thus by default having around 3 different age groups after 3 batches. But we had not imagined it from the feed resource angle.
I agree with your comment. Multi-age flocks are a key characteristic of village poultry production and enables the flock to better respond to a number of challenges, including disease outbreaks.
Once flock sizes increase, owners must decide whether they should increase the offtake of birds or provide supplementary feed. It would advisable to research the ecological consequences of providing supplementary feed, especially where the supplementary feed is not readily available in the local area.

1. The contribution of research to the development of family poultry production systems. Research in family poultry production systems has received a fair deal of criticism both positive and negative. These contributions have enabled the family poultry Production systems to gain greater popularity amongst researchers and development practitioners as a tool in poverty reduction and in improving rural and peri-urban livelihoods. Criticisms have arisen from academics, communities, senior government officials, politicians, technical support institutions, journalists and concerned participants in programs implemented by some NGOs and community based. Most of the criticism has come from people who are unsure of

Dear All, I am Oluwatosin Kennedy Oko from Department of Animal Science,University of Calabar, Nigeria. I want to express my gratitude to the organizers of the E-conference.This is a good forum to share experiences, challenges and opportunities encountered in different regions regarding family poultry production.

Family farming problem is the income problem. In Indonesia many family farmer and small farmer going bankrupt and collapsed because of price at the harvest time is low sharp fluctuated and uncontrolable. the price is set up by poultry integrator. Can the family farmer fight the DOC price, feed price, medicine price, and mantaining the price at harvest time?
Currently I am working on World bank funded ICAR NAIP project on Biodiversity conservation and sustainable livelihoods through agro-livestock interventions in which we have learnt certain important lessons which I would like to share:
1.We have used the local poultry germplasm,selective breeding,improved with indigenous birds and reintroduced back to farm families.
2.The beneficiaries who had previous experience of family poultry have reported improved productivity parameters in their birds with superior performance.
This is Sajjad from Pakistan 2. The contribution of research to the development of family poultry production systems. I tend to agree with most of what has been expressed by my colleagues from India and Indonesia. The issue of very little research at Universities and research institutes can be generalized for most of the developing countries where indigenous chickens have played (and are playing) a big role in food security. The development of new breeds of chicken was one of the major research areas in the 60’s here in Pakistan but efforts gradually dwindled as commercial poultry emerged. Lately, things
Thank you again for this opportunity to discuss about family poultry production systems and their role in community livelihoods.
1. The contribution of research to the development of family poultry production systems
During the last conference on family poultry, we shared a lot our experiences and findings from different research and I am sure that all sectors have been covered (genetic, breeding, housing, nutrition, marketing, diseases control,…). Today, Researches should be focused to the productivity and marketing of poultry products. Several developing countries don’t dispose the extension unit to transfer findings to farmers that creates a gap between different all

Dear colleagues, I am sofjan Iskandar from Indonesian would like to contribute some information on the development of native chicken and family poultry system. About 5-10 years ago, native chicken in Indonesia has been popular among chicken meat consumers, particularly small and medium restaurants with serving special dishes of KAMPUNG chicken.

Chers modérateur et tous les autres intervenants, j'aimerai apporter ma contribution sur le thème suivant: 3. Le système de production familiale face au système de production commerciale: compétition ou complémentarité? Pour ma part, je suis d'abord confronté à un problème, celui du terme aviculture familiale qui prête à confusion: 1. Si on définit l'aviculture familiale comme cette aviculture pratiquée à petite échelle, avec des races exotiques, pour subvenir aux besoins alimentaires des familles et aux mieux répondre à certains besoins financiers, on pourrais parler de compétition de l'aviculture commerciale avec cette forme d'aviculture. Pourquoi compétition? L'aviculture familiale, ainsi définit, est
Dear Moderators: Below are my contributions to the on-going e-conference:
Genetic resources, feed, animal health and economics - To which of these fields could research give the greatest contribution? In Tanzania, more researches that are conducted on family poultry are mainly focused on locally available feed resources, animal health and production as well as on their socio-economic contribution at household levels. There are varied ecotypes of poultry that are widely distributed in my country. However, their characteristics are yet delineated. Therefore, their comprehensive information are needed, such as description of phenotypic characteristics, production environment to which they are adapted,

Dear Eric Good to hear that any thing like this (thermostable ND vaccine not requiring cold chain) is available. Many of us (as indicated by Dibungi) involved in FP and indigenous chicken production efforts need such information and sources of such vaccines. It will resolve one of the major bottleneck of chicken raising at village level. And of course getting/spreading new information is one of the objectives of such forums. I will restrict myself from getting into a debate on the issue because it will distract the debate being carried out at the forum. Pl. share the information. With Best Regards Sajjad
Sorry for my very low level of participation in the forum but I'm almost always in mission and out of connection.
There is one single point that I would like to make clear about family poultry vaccination against Newcastle disease (subject mentioned in the email below): Thermostable vaccines adapted to family poultry are available from many brand names of very well known veterinary pharmaceutical companies. These vaccines are inactivated and one shot of vaccine is globally enough for the production cycle of family poultry population. This is know at least since 1978. Hundred of millions of family poultry
As I have told several times for the last 10 years in different forum and conferences, the first sustainable experience well documented about ND vaccination in rural family poultry dates 1978 in Burkina Faso. Today, my information is that there are around 30 millions rural chicken vaccinated per year on that way mostly in West Africa and also in the rest of the world. Since 35 years, many other vaccination programs have been implemented with the same vaccination strategy.
I have been following this interesting and informative discussion and would like to share my views especially on the ND control in Backyard poultry through vaccinations.
Since ND causes huge losses to small poultry farmers, mostly women, its control in South Asia through vaccination is paramount. There are three issues here-
I would be pleased if you could confirm that the lack of information is not on my side. I'm sorry to repeat that all inactivated vaccines produced by reputable international pharmaceutical companies are quite enough thermostable and have been used successfully without any problem by rural family poultry owners where they have been adequately distributed by relevant professional networks even in the poorest and remotest African countries. It is hard to believe that 35 years of experience and hundred of millions vaccinated rural poultry from millions of rural farmers should still continue to
The message below refers. It has a strong element of lack of information from the sender. A thermostable vaccine is almost a must for the African FP. I have been personally commissioned to conduct a market studies on the thermostable vaccine by Global Alliance for Livestock Veterinary Medicines (GALVMED) last year in the SADC region. Besides South Africa and Zimbabwe where the cold chain can be maintained, this is just not possible for the rest of the region. The veterinary service is lacking and ill-equipped. Where the system has been partially privatised, the vaccinators charge up to the
In reply to the above mentioned topic here are what I feel: 1. The contribution of research to the development of family poultry production systems. Research, on the development of family poultry production system is not really lacking but baring few countries like Bangladesh and Sub-Saharan nations, is not in practice in many other places where family poultry production is vitally important. I am not aware if we have the database for the species of poultry that are raised by different communities in the Earth, it may run into few hundreds and the status of these breeds of choice holds crucial

Dear all,
I am forwarding Dr Ed Wethli's contribution now, as it was not distributed during the e-conference due to technical problems.
Je donne tout à fait raison à EFQ. Les vaccins thermostables ont bien fait leur preuve au Mali et dans la sous-région depuis plus de 30 ans. C’est par excellence le remède miracle des petits aviculteurs à cause de leur effets démonstratifs et immédiats. Outre cela, ils se caractérisent par
