Development and pre-testing of chick and chicken transportation coop (box), at Arba Minch agricultural research center, Arbaminch, SNNPR, Ethiopia

This chick and chicken transportation cage technology was designed, produced pretested as a creative innovation on its structure convenience for traditional poultry producers who exist rural areas of the country where there is no access to get plastic chick/chicken cage. The data this particular work row materials, measurements parts, construction challenges, opportunities hand local carpenters/wood workers. In my opinion will be many works in near future modification design, size, component number, material comparative evaluation based suggested with other technologies. At day old age which very risky management, 94% chicks survived from AMARC 98.7% Plastic/Purchased type during phase 1 study. During 2 study, 99.7% 100% type. Causes death were management problem. For Matured chickens transportation, current study clearly showed that using both cages resulted about transported survived.
