The Role of Scavenging Poultry in Integrated Farming Systems in Ethiopia
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper focuses on the role of scavenging poultry in integrated farming systems and is mainly based on previous studies and past research and development attempts to improve scavenging poultry in Ethiopia. Village poultry production is an integral part of a balanced farming system and has a unique position in the rural household economy, supplying high quality protein to the family. In this paper, the present structure, socio-economic aspects, constraints, potential and future prospects of scavenging poultry in the mixed farming systems are described, and recommendations are also made to change the present scavenging system to semi-scavenging system.
