Abstract
This study was conducted to establish the linkage between farm manager’s identity and performance of poultry farms in Lagos State, Nigeria. Primary data on poultry farm features were elicited with well structured questionnaire from randomly selected 130 poultry firms. Descriptive statistics, regression model and enterprise budget were applied for data analysis. From the result, it is seen that 78.94% of the poultry farms are owner-managed while the other 21.05% are employee-managed. The result revealed that poultry farms are mainly owner managed and had survived for past 4 years in operations. Result shows a return on investment 53% and 61% for employee-managed and owner-managed poultry farms, respectively. The finding shows that the extent to which farm manager’s identity affects financial performance of the poultry firm is 72%. The result shows that there is a positive and significant relationship between farm manager’s identity and the financial performance of poultry farms. Farm manger’s identity (P<0.05) is a predictor of the financial performance of poultry farms in Nigeria. We concluded that owner-managed poultry farms performed better than employee-managed farms. We recommended that small scale poultry farm owners should personally manage their farms, provided they have the rudimentary knowledge of farm management and the technical know-how of poultry production.
