“…while lack of steady/sustainable market (𝑥̅ = 2.625), lack of manpower to implement biosecurity (𝑥̅ = 2.633) and incompatibility of the biosecurity measures with socio-cultural background of the farmers were not seen as severe constraints to the respondents. This is in line with the submission of Oladipo et al (2020) that the major constraints of poultry farmers on biosecurity practices is literacy level among others.…”

The study examines the socio-economic determinant of youth poultry farmers’ adoption of selected biosecurity practices against avian-influenza (HPAI-A/H5N1) outbreaks in Jigawa State, Nigeria. A total of 120 respondents were selected through a multistage sampling procedure were used for the study. Majority (75.0%) were married, males (92.5%) with average age of 24 years. Average proportion (50.0%) has secondary education while below average (40.0%) has no formal education. Average monthly income is N26,075.00 and farming experience of 13 years. Mean: household size of 5 persons; flock size of 411 birds; membership of social group (91.7%) and no extension contact (84.2%). The respondents highly practiced vaccination of birds ( x = 1.000), constant cleaning of farm ( x = 1.167), hand washing with soap and water after toileting ( x= 1.492) and cleaning before restocking new birds ( x= 1.625) in cleaning. In the disinfection sub-components only; keeping of farm records ( x= 1.583), disinfection of equipment brought to the farm ( x= 1.667) and constant and periodic disinfection of equipments, poultry house and cloths ( x = 1.792) were highly practices while in segregation and traffic control sub-components, they highly practiced most of the activities except; employee restrictions ( x = 2.250), periodic visitation to ADP Office for training ( x = 2.750) and visitors/vehicle entry cleaning protocols ( x= 3.000). The respondents have high adoption level ( x= 1.832) on the segregation and traffic control, medium level of adoption for cleaning ( x = 2.159) and disinfection shows low level of adoption of the standard biosecurity components ( x= 2.458). Major source of awareness of AI are; Co-farmers/farmers group (79.2%), radio program (73.3%) and family/friends/neighbors (59.2%) among others. The highly severe constraints of the youth poultry farmers were; lack of education, poor extension/veterinary contact, lack of Buffer Areas around the farm site and lack/ poor farm record keeping ( x= 1.000).

“…Lack of veterinary extension services can have negative effects on poultry management. For instance, in another study, the absence of veterinary support personnel was found to be significantly related to a lower rate of adoption of biosecurity measures by poultry farmers in northern Nigeria [25].…”

Poultry production is a major component of the livestock sector in Nigeria and continues to expand rapidly; however, it is still constrained by low productivity. A farm survey was conducted to provide a baseline assessment of poultry production (products generated, farm costs, and revenue), pharmaceutical use, and related challenges faced by farmers on 44 commercial poultry farms in Oyo and Kano states of Nigeria. Live spent layers, eggs, and used beddings were the most frequently sold products for revenue. Antibiotic products were widely used, the most reported were Doxygen, Tylosin, and Conflox. Overall, 40% of farms used feed additives (including toxin binders, minerals, and vitamins) and 12% used coccidiostats. Access to pharmaceutical products was a key challenge and appeared to disproportionally affect farmers in the northern part (Kano) of Nigeria. Other challenges included perceived antibiotic ineffectiveness, high cost of drugs, and long distances to pharmaceutical suppliers. Challenges related to vaccine use were unavailability, distance to the supplier, and health issues interfering with the vaccination schedule. Study findings highlight the need for improved access to veterinary pharmaceuticals, particularly in the northern states. Further investigations into the causes of antibiotic ineffectiveness and strategies for distribution of high-quality, effective pharmaceuticals are also necessary.

The oil boom of the 1970s in Nigeria has negatively impacted the young generation's psychology about agriculture. This has led to a continued drain of workforces. The general view on agriculture is of a ‘murky' business, as such always relegated within choices. Myriad programs and projects are being rolled out to revamp agriculture and attract youth in Nigeria. However, they remain largely with insignificant positive results and most of them with little or no deliberate appeal strategy towards enchanting youth. This research analyses the level of youth involvement in agribusinesses in Jigawa, describes and analyses ICTs landscape, then presents innovative approaches towards enchanting youth for agri-preneurial enterprises. Purposive sampling was used to select locations of data collection while convenient sampling was employed to elicit data. Results reveal that the youth entrepreneurial involvement is towards marketing, while a robust ICTs platform exist for supporting enterprises. Also, three packages were drawn and presented for the promotion of agri-prenuership in Nigeria.
