High population growth and growing income lead to increasing demand for poultry products in Nigeria. The poultry industry has emerged as the most commercialized and fastest expanding segment in the animal husbandry subsector but still faces many problems. Private investment from foreign countries could help to facilitate this market.

The popularity of poultry production can be explained by the fact that poultry has many advantages over other livestock. Poultry birds are good converters of feed into useable protein in meat and eggs. The production costs per unit remain relatively low, and the return on investment is high. Therefore, farmers need a relatively small amount of capital to start a poultry farm. Furthermore, poultry meat is very tender and acceptability to consumers is high, regardless of their religious beliefs. Also, the production cycle is quite short, so capital is not tied up over a long period. Finally, eggs, one of the major products of poultry production, are more affordable for the common person than other sources of animal protein

This lagging increase in domestic production can be explained by the fact that most producers in Nigeria still employ traditional rural poultry farming systems—although an increasing demand for poultry kept under modern and more hygienic conditions has been observed. Rural poultry farming is by convention a subsistence system comprising stocks of nonstandard breeds or mixed strains, types, and ages. A majority of the farmers operate in these traditional, small-scale structures. Often, these farming systems are characterized by outdated barn equipment and production techniques and inadequate hygiene management. In addition, producers suffer from a weak feed industry and poor market access as a result of inadequate infrastructure

In contrast, commercial poultry farming is characterized by higher demands on capital and labor, as well as on inputs and technology. Improvements in breeding, husbandry, and management are needed to increase the efficiency in chicken production, which will lead to lower production costs.
