Abstract

Poultry is the largest group of livestock species in the world in which chickens largely dominate the flock composition. The poultry sector in Ethiopia can be characterized into three major production systems based on selected parameters like breed, flock size, housing, feeding, health, technology, bio-security and others. Though This observations focused on a complete 120 families had been decided on and personally interviewed to gather the facts. The data have been analyzed by use of the statistical package (SPSS). the primary constraints detects village chicken production inside the observe location had been sickness, predators, loss of proper fitness care, bad feeding, housing, poor watering, and shortage of marketplace access replacement of indigenous chickens by means of exceptional hen breeds is also found inflicting dilution of the indigenous genetic assets. Newcastle disorder (NCD) changed into identified as economically essential fitness constraint that hinders chicken production and productiveness within the take a look at location. The results indicates that inappropriate coping with of chicken and a lack of Agricultural extension service (47%), loss of production substances (35.3%), the hazard of predators (16.7%) and fear of theft (10%), housing troubles, Lacks infrastructure, low supply of logistics which includes transportation, failure to mobilize the network, Lacks incents for exceptional sports, low supply of logistics which include transportation, failure to mobilize the network, Lacks incents for special activities.
