Abstract:
A field based research was done to evaluate the current technological adoption and problems of broiler entrepreneurs including disease prevalence among the farms. Information was gathered by visiting selected chicken farms and interviewing the owners using a prepared questionnaire. Socio-economic background of the farmers indicated that majority of farmers were young and are doing broiler farming as a subsidiary occupation. The study found 14.17 per cent mortality in broiler farms in all the seasons combined. The present study found 4.13%, 4.75% and 5.29% mortality in winter, summer and rainy season respectively. In Gwalior district the difference in mortality in each disease in the winter season is not significant while in other season, it is significant (p< 0.05). The present study conclusively indicate the need to implement the biosecurity measures, starting from farmers to veterinarians, public health practitioners and other stakeholders involved directly or indirectly in poultry production.
Highlights
