Review on Managemental System and Production Constraints of Indigenous Chicken Ecotypes in Ethiopia

Andualem Yihun

The review was conducted to management system and production Constraints of indigenous chicken ecotypes in Ethiopia. Scavenging production systems is the dominant management practices of chicken with small feed supplementation. High incidence of chicken diseases, mainly Newcastle Disease NCD is the major and economically important constraints for village chicken production systems followed by predator and feeds. The production system is still extensive and low in performances are the major character of indigenous chicken genetic resources. Indigenous chickens are largely dominated flock size and have good potential to adapt different agro-ecologies through low management systems. High incidence of chicken diseases, mainly NCD is the major economically important.

Constraints for village chicken production systems followed by feed shortage and predators in the country. Since local chickens have good potential to adapt in different agro-ecology and make available well-appointed source of family protein and income for rural people. Indigenous breeds of chickens are playing an important role for the rural poor people with respect to their subsidiary income and provide them with nutritious of chicken egg and meat for their own consumption. The present review were made to managemental system and production Constraints of indigenous chicken ecotypes in Ethiopia for rural economy and its improvement with respect to performance.
