Abstract
This study was steered
in Katsina Metropolis on the dynamics responsible for women involvement in
layer bird production. The Primary data used were obtained using structured
questionnaires administered to 51 women poultry farmers in the study area.
Descriptive Statistics, Net Farm Income, Profitability Index, Rate of Return on
Investment, Capital Turnover and 5 Point Likert Scale were used to analyze the
data. The result showed that 58% of the women were between 20 – 30 years, 100%
were females and 80% were married. Most of the women (72%) had a family size of
between 1 and 10 persons. Also 100% of the women had one form of education. On years
of experience, 86% of the women had 1-15 years of experience; also 71% of them
were rising between 50 – 500 birds. On extension services accessibility 71% of
the women don’t have access to extension services, 56% of the women have met
with extension agent(s) only once in a year. Also 75% of the women don’t have
access to credit and 26% of them have acquired their lands through purchase.
The income obtained from the production was what motivates the women to go into
production. Also 92% of the women stated that land was the most accessible
resources in poultry production. The profitability Analysis revealed that
poultry production was profitable with a Net Farm Income of N794,477, N18,738,962
and N29,347,661; Profitability Index of 0.24, 0.76 and 0.5; Rate of Return on
Investment of 30.98, 256.23 and 99.06 for Small, Medium and Large Scales
respectively. High input cost was perceived as important problem due to the
fact that it covers 70-75% of the total production cost in layer birds’
production.
