“…The stock size shows that most poultry egg farmers are smallscale to medium scale with mean of 1721 birds. This result agrees with Oduwaiye et al, (2017) who recorded a mean of 1320 birds among poultry farmers in Kwara State Nigeria. Mean of ₦175,862.07 and ₦31,880.73 was obtained for amount spent on rent/lease of poultry land and labour cost respectively.…”

Poultry farming is exposed to several hazards caused by epidemic diseases, climate change and marketing among others which lead to losses of revenue. Yet, majority of poultry farmers do not neither shared nor transferred their hazards rightly. In the light of this, this study examined the determinants of poultry egg farmers’ participation in livestock insurance in Rivers State, Nigeria. Primary data were obtained with the aid of questionnaire and interview schedules from 120 farmers drawn through multistage sampling procedure. Descriptive statistics and Probit regression model were used to analyze the data. Results shows a mean age of 45.21 years, years spent in formal education mean of 14.87 years, mean household size of five (5), and stock size of 1721 birds were obtained. 60.8% were aware of livestock insurance and about 35% of the farmers insured their farms. Probit regression result shows that access to credit facilities, stock size and household size were statistically significant determining the poultry egg farmers’ participation in livestock insurance scheme. Poor agricultural extension service delivery and delay in indemnity payment among others were constraints encountered in participating livestock insurance. The study recommends that extension agents in collaboration with the insurance company providers should educate poultry farmers on livestock insurance role in risk management. Also, insurance companies should endeavour to keep terms of contractual arrangements not to delay in indemnity payment to the farmers.

“…This suggests that restriction in eating pork by Muslim religion could be a reason for few respondents being involved in pig farming. The study shows that the educational level of respondents is high in the study area which corroborates the report of Oduwaiye et al (2017) that most livestock farmers in South-western Nigeria can understand and apply technical information in the production and management of livestock farming due to their level of education. The study also revealed that the household size of respondents is relatively low which could be attributed to one of the peculiarities of urban areas where couples have control over the number of children they have as supported by Anyanwu (2013) that household size is related to either an individual lives in urban or rural areas.…”

The attempt to improve protein consumption among Nigerians through increase in livestock production has led to an upward trend in the quantity of waste generated in recent years. In this study we examined the perceived effect of livestock waste on the wellbeing of farm workers and residents within farm catchment area in Oyo State. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 148 respondents for the study. Data were obtained using a structured interview schedule and analysed using descriptive statistics, namely frequency, percentages and t-test. The data revealed that 34.5 % of respondents fell in the age range of 21–30 years. Most (68.9 %) of them were males and 56.8 % had tertiary education. Majority (56.1 %) had a poultry flock size ranging from 1,001 to 10,000 birds, 67 % had piggery herd size ranging between 101 and 500 with 57.3 % of livestock farms situated within farm settlements. The respondents generated more of cracked eggs, manure and litters as wastes. Forty-seven percent of the respondents utilised disinfection and 40.0 % used treatment of feeds as the major waste management practices whereas biomass production was least used (5 %). Closing of windows early was the major indicated coping strategy for disturbances from waste. Significant difference exists between residents’ and farm workers’ perception of livestock wastes on their wellbeing in the study area (t = 3.693, P = 0.000). Farm workers and residents perceived the effect of livestock waste on their wellbeing to be low. Wellbeing of residents was more affected with livestock waste than that of workers. There is a need to formulate rules and regulations governing safe handling of waste in order to minimise its impact on the wellbeing of citizens.
