Current Situation and Challenges in Small - scale Family Egg - laying Chicken Farming in Ethiopia

In Ethiopia, small - scale family egg - laying chicken farming is a common practice, but it faces numerous challenges. Many farmers struggle with low efficiency, with an average egg production rate of only about 60 - 70% compared to the potential 80 - 90% in more advanced farming systems. Management difficulties also abound, such as manual feeding and cleaning, which not only consume a large amount of labor but also increase the risk of diseases. For instance, without proper environmental control, the incidence of common poultry diseases can reach up to 20%.
