  1. Poultry Group Objective To generate knowledge through action-oriented research, synthesis and disseminate results/lessons learnt about value-chain development

  2. Research Approach and Process • Technologyadaptation and generation • Lab-based • On-station • On-farm • Technology application • Organizational issues • Institutional issues • Diagnostic research • Action research • Impact research Experimental (controlled setting) Developmental (uncontrolled setting) Focus Methods

  3. Research Areas • Input supply and services • Input supply Breeds (layers & Broilers), feed, vaccine & its accessories, drugs, equipment, brooders, mini-incubators in urban, peri-urban and rural settings • Credit Developing engagement modalities and procedures with financial institutions , M&E of the credit performance and Insurance • Extension • Knowledge management Need assessment, assembly, delivery and feed back • Capacity building Need assessment & implementation, M&E • Market information and linkages Developing and delivering appropriate market information system and develop appropriate linkage with other actors in the VC • Production • Production technologies- breeds, feed and health • Production management- housing, feeding, brooding, hygiene, • Production systems – Urban, peri-urban and rural

  4. Research Areas (2) • Post harvest handling, processing and marketing • Post harvest handling and management • Processing- slaughtering and packaging • Marketing and distribution- assessment of existing marketing and distribution system and identify constraints • Consumption and food safety- come-up with alternative ways of consuming poultry and poultry products and come up with food safety standards • Cross cutting issues • Gender in market oriented development- ensuring participation and benefit women and youth in the CV • Environmental implications of market oriented development • Post slaughter waste management system, and recycling

  5. Role of graduate students • Ensure that graduate students work on the identified researchable topics that are relevant for the development of VC
