chickens

This toolbox, available on the web or on CD-ROM, forms a resource for use by NGOs, extension workers and others involved in livestock development. The primary purpose is to provide those institutions or individuals that inform or interact with resource-poor farmers, groups of livestock keepers or farmer organisations and extension services, with appropriate information in a readily accessible manner to assist in tackling some of the problems they face. The tools include technical interventions, husbandry advice, policy change guidelines and empowerment suggestions.

This Briefing summarizes the results of pilot surveys of poultry market
participants (chicken farmers, chick producers, commune
traders, wholesalers, slaughterhouses, and retail vendors) in
and around Ha Noi, Vietnam, which reveal a variety of salient characteristics
which are relevant to pro-poor livestock policy.

This is the English language version of a story written for the Shujaaz comic informing Kenyan youth about vaccination of chickens against Newcastle disease. For more information about Shujaaz, click here.

This document aims to provide a brief country economic overview of Vietnam; a review
of the poultry sector that examines production, trade, markets and consumption; information on
household income, food expenditures and poultry contribution to nutrition. Finally, it describes the
course of HPAI (Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza) and applied control measures, with their concomitant impacts on livelihoods, the
poultry sector and the economy at large.
