Nijerya- Ekiti’de Küçük Ölçekli Broyler Çiftliklerinde Biyogüvenlik Uygulamalarının Etkinliği ve Faydaları

Abstract

Biyogüvenlik uygulamaları hayvancılık işletmelerinin sürdürülebilirliği ve insan sağlığının güvenliğinin yanı sıra güvenli ve karlı bir hayvancılık yönetim sürecini sağlar.  Bu nedenle bu çalışmada Ekiti’de küçük ölçekli broyler çiftlikleri arasında biyogüvenlik uygulamalarının faydaları ve etkinliği değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmaya katılan 114 çiftliği seçmek için çok aşamalı, amaçlı ve rastgele örnekleme teknikleri kullanılmıştır. Veriler yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği kullanılarak toplanmış, frekans sayımları, yüzdeler, ki-kare ve pearson çarpım moment korelasyon tekniği ile analiz edilmiştir. Katılımcıların yarısından fazlası (%53.5) erkek (41-50 yaş) ve %68.4’ü evliydi. Büyük çoğunluğu (%86.8) 1001 ila 5000 kapasiteli kümeslere sahipti ve %64.0’ü 20 yılı aşkın deneyime sahipti. Birçok katılımcı broyler çiftliklerinde biyogüvenlik uygulamalarının yüksek yararlarını ve etkinliklerini kaydederken, broyler yetiştiricileri arasında yeterli olmayan biyogüvenlik uygulamalarının sergilendiği ortaya çıktı. Broyler yetiştiriciliğinde; eğitim durumu (χ ²=34.632), sürü büyüklüğü (χ ²=28.337), yaş (r=0.162) ve biyogüvenlik uygulamalarının faydaları (r=0.187) biyogüvenlik uygulamaları ile önemli derecede ilişkiliydi. Bununla birlikte, broyler üreticilerine, hayvancılığa destek verecek birimler (extention agents) yoluyla, Nijerya tavukçuluk derneğinin işbirliği ile seminer ve workshoplar düzenlenerek broyler üretimi için biyogüvenlik uygulamaları konusunda daha güçlü bilginin yayılması gerekmektedir.

Effectiveness and Benefits of Biosecurity Practices in Small Scale Broiler Farmers in Ekiti State, Nigeria

Abstract

Biosecurity practices offer safe and profitable livestock management processes, with potential for sustainability in livestock business and safe human health. Therefore, this study examined the effectiveness and benefits of biosecurity practices among small scale broiler farmers in Ekiti State. Multistage, purposive and random sampling techniques were used to select 114 respondents for the study; data were collected using structured interview schedule, analysed with frequency counts, percentages, chi-square and pearson product moment correlation. More than half (53.5%) of the respondents were males (41-50years), married (68.4%). Majority of the producers (86.8%) had a flock size of 1001 to 5000 and 64.0% of them had more than 20 years experience. Many of the respondents recorded high benefits and effectiveness of biosecurity practices in their broiler farming, while exhibition of non-robust biosecurity practice was evident among the broiler farmers. Educational Status (χ ²=34.632), flock size (χ ²=28.337), age (r=0.162) and benefits of biosecurity practices (r=0.187) were significantly related to the effectiveness of biosecurity practices for broiler production. Hence, more robust information on biosecurity practices for broiler production through livestock extension agents should be disseminated to the broiler farmers, using channels of seminar and workshop with the collaboration of poultry association of Nigeria.
