“…This implies that age, education level, sex, household size and income sources had no influence on the level of involvement of rural dwellers in small scale production. This report is however contrary to the submission of Oyelami and Ajanaku (2019) the reported significant relationship between selected socio economic characteristics and respondents' involvement in livestock farming. The table above shows that there is no significant relationship between benefits and level of involvement (r=0.177, p=0.089).…”

“…This is possibly because feed constitutes the most expensive aspect of poultry production. This is in line with earlier reports (Okeke et al, 2018, Oyelami andAjanaku, 2019) that finance is one of the major constraints of livestock farmers in the rural area. The result shows that the majority (82.8%) of the respondents strongly agrees that poultry serves as source of income, 76.3% strongly agrees it is a source of meat, 62.4% strongly agrees that poultry is a source of food, 48.4% strongly agrees that poultry is a source of employment, Not fewer than 97.8% of the respondents agrees that they derived job satisfaction in poultry farming.…”

“…This shows that respondents involve in the poultry farming in the study area are in their active ages when the strength as well as energy to work is readily available. This corroborates the findings of past studies (Adisa and Akinkunmi, 2012;Gingras et al, 2008, Okeke et al, 2018Oyelami and Ajanaku 2019) who reported that younger people are more involved in livestock farming than aged people. This implies that the younger the farmers the better the productivity.…”

“…However, the relationship is negative which implies that through the relationship is not significant, the greater level of involvement the lower the constraint faced by the respondent. This differs from the submission of Oyelami and Ajanaku (2019) that observed significant relationship between constraints and involvement of the youth in livestock farming. This may occur as the result of the aspect of livestock been considered (poultry) which is the most prominent among the livestock farming in most of the communities.…”

Poultry production at all levels appears to be lucrative and profitable but many factors appear to limit the involvement of rural dwellers in this sector. This study was carried out at Oluyole Local Government Area Oyo State to assess the level of involvement of rural dwellers in small scale poultry farming. Some parts of Oluyole local government were purposely selected for this study because of higher concentration of rural dwellers that are involved in poultry production. A total of ninety five respondents were sampled and had a well-structured questionnaire administered to them to determine their socio economics characteristic, their level of involvement, benefit derived and constraint faced in poultry farming. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency counts, percentage and means, Chi-square and Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) at 0.05% level of significance. The results show that majority of the respondents were males (61.1%), married (68.8%) and have tertiary education (59.1%). Majority (50.5%) of the respondents were between the ages of 31-45years. Socio-economic characteristics such as age, region, sex, educational level, household size and income had no significant relationship with the respondent’s level of involvement in small scale poultry farming (P<0.05). Results on level of involvement shows that most (48.8%) of the sampled correspondents were involved in boilers production. The study also shows that the benefit derived in poultry farming remained the same regardless of the level of involvement of the farmers in various poultry activities, with r –value (0.177), p-value (0.089) indicating that the relationship is not significant (P<0.01), it also indicated that the relationship between the constraints facing the respondents and their level of involvement is not significant with r –value (0.154). Also, the major constraints facing the respondents included difficulty in accessing loan and quality feed. Government should therefore make loan facilities at affordable interest rate while all the stake holders should work together to improve farmers’ access to quality feed, vaccine, technical know-how and adequate extension workers.

“…The participation of rural youth in livestock can solve their problem of unemployment and it serves as a source of income throughout the year. There are also several challenges faced by the youth like lack of capital, low return from business, high return time in business, poor market structure, inadequate modern equipment and poor government policies for youth (Oyelami and Ajanaku, 2019). Despite various challenges and constraints, rural youth are getting involved themselves in livestock farming activities because of many intrinsic and extrinsic factors.Keeping this in view a study was conducted to fi nd out the determinants of rural youth participation in livestock farming activities.…”
