Abstract

Climate Smart Poultry Production strategy encompasses the use of practices that increase resilience and stability in poultry production, thereby helping poultry farmers adjust to climate alteration threats. This study assessed the Status of climate poultry production practices in Kwara State, Nigeria. A three-stage sampling procedure randomly selected one hundred and fifty farmers for the study. The data was collected through the questionnaires. Frequency count, percentage, and mean were used to analyze the data collected. The result showed that feeding management was practiced by about 94%, about 84% of the poultry farmers practiced processing and preservation of poultry products, and about 74% converted poultry droppings into compost manure. The findings showed that about 74% of the respondents have a high level of climate-smart poultry production practices. High cost of feeds (mean=1.62), high temperature, and lack of start-up capital (mean=1.46) were the main constraints affecting poultry production. The study, therefore, recommended that the government ensure that all poultry farmers have access to extension services and that the extension service providers ensure that information on climate poultry production practices is disseminated to all the farmers. Grants/credits should be provided to reduce the high cost of feeds.
