An Integrative Approach to the Definition of Problems and Opportunities for Smallholder Rural Poultry Farmers in Nigeria

Questionnaire surveys and rapid rural appraisal methods were used to collect data on the features, problems and opportunities for smallholder rural poultry production in two locations representing the savanna and forest ecological zones in southwestern Nigeria. Information was gathered on the technical, biological and socio-economic aspects of poultry production. The study assessed the effectiveness of RRA compared to more conventional methods.
