The study was conducted in Charuhurit kebele in Menit Shasha woreda West Omo Zone, south west region (SWR) Ethiopia. BeforeAbstract
the commencement of the study need assessment was done on existing livestock production system and their constraints through
conducting group discussion with pastoralists, then the pastoralists were prioritized poultry production system as major problem need
immediate intervention. A pastoralist and agro-pastoralist extension research group (PAPREG) which containing 25 pastoralists were
established and randomly assigned to different production system (10 intensive productions, 10 semi intensive and five extensive
production system). 125 pullets of Bovan Brown chicken breed age 75 days purchased from Bushoftu Alema farm were distributed and
before distribution training on housing, feeding, health and overall handling system of animals were given for pastoralists. The study
revealed that high mortality rate or low survivability rate was observed before the onset egg production in the study area. There were
no significant differences in age of animals before onset of egg lying, but number of egg produced every month was significantly (p
< 0.05) higher between production systems. The average age at onset of egg lying was 22.10 weeks. The result shown that significantly
(p < 0.05) higher number (23.77) of eggs per month per hen was recorded for intensive production system. Finally, the authors concluded
that Bovan Brown chicken breed under village production in terms of their egg production performance were feasible in the study area
to enhance family nutrition and income generations.
