From Dr. Salissou Issa, Dept of Animal Productions, INRAN, NigerDear Participants,

 

I
would like to say I agree with Dr. Sujit Nayak, and I have just added few comments.


1.     
What should be
the purpose of family poultry policies?

1.1.FP policies
should work out the roadmap where the socioeconomically disadvantaged / poorest
of the poor could use FP as a potent tool for livelihood and women’s
empowerment.

1.2. FP policies
should work promote a sustainable poultry production in countries with low
population (Sahelian countries). 


2.     
Is policy
changing a prerequisite to steer family poultry development towards meeting the
needs of the poor?

2.1.The dynamics of
poverty and resource accessibility is ever-changing; we have to possibly
re-program various aspects with newer advances in technology & research and
also increase participatory approaches. 

2.2.Policy
accordingly has to adapt. I think we should use the paradigm of IAR4D
(Innovation platforms and value chains analysis in developing FP.

2.3.In addition, we
should encourage research that promote the use of thermo-labile vaccines, FP poultry
workers training,  local alternatives feedstuffs
(grains, legume trees pods, etc.), and reduce chicks mortality in especially guinea
fowl in Niger and Burkina Faso. 

3.     

Have needs and
priorities of the commercial poultry industry negative impacts on the policies
for family poultry?

3.1.Of course, with
biosecurity, food safety, international trade, SPS issues, there will always be
a negative impact but as some contributors said they may complement each other
as well. 

3.2.For example, in
Niger a new private hatchery is supplying small family producers thus
contributing to FP developpement.

 

4.     
What arguments
and facts are required to achieve pro family poultry policies?

4.1.Livelihood,
poverty alleviation and women’s empowerment should be enough motivators, if
properly presented and policy-makers are convinced.

4.2. In addition, in
countries which are traditionally livestock (ruminants)  producers we can argument with reduction of poultry
product imports, contribution to labor provision , and health aspects (less cholesterol in
poultry meat). 

 

Best
Regards,

Salissou
