Sustainability of Poultry Production: Socio-Economic Role and Alternative as Climate Change Resilience of Livestock Production in Ethiopia

Abstract: The poultry enterprise sector in Ethiopia is crucial for the sustainability and development of the national economy. With rapid urbanization and a large population, family-based poultry production is becoming an urgent business issue for government organizations, NGOs, and private investors. Poultry products are processed into various food items, providing nutrition, food security, and export opportunities. However, the industry faces challenges such as limited inputs supply, lack of high-quality equipment, and ineffective utilization of local feed resources. Ethiopian poultry breeding programs should prioritize defining production environments and identifying farmers' preferences and production objectives to enhance productivity and conserve local chicken gene pools.
