Presented By: Msafiri Kalloka

Event: Symposium on Best Practices in Sustainable Agriculture (2019-02-14)

Session:  This presentation will be co-presented through a combination of video and discussion. Village chickens play a vital role in the lives of rural poor, providing meat, eggs, and income from sales which meet family needs. They are generally owned by women and children and provide food security greater than large animals. The major constraint to production is Newcastle Disease which regularly causes flock mortality of up to 100%. The development of a thermo-tolerant ND vaccine and its adoption in rural areas has made a widespread impact when promoted by community vaccinators with support of government and NGOs.
