Abstract: Poultry production is one of the key livestock subsectors of Ethiopia. It plays important roles in terms of generating employment opportunities, improving family nutrition, and empowering women. It is a suitable business for poor households due to the small quantity of land needed and low investment costs required starting up and running the operation. The current poultry population of Ethiopia is estimated to be around 60 million out of which the majority (37.9 percent or 22.7 million) are chicks and only 33.6 percent (20.2 million) are laying hens. About 56 percent (9.6 million) of Ethiopian households have poultry holdings with varying range of flock size.
