1.2STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Poultry farming in Tanzania has become a major source of income in families in the rural areas. In earlier days, farmers used only a traditional way of farming by letting free poultry in the morning to fetch for food and later in the evening let them in the small houses for shelter. The farmers were not using vaccination or methods of treatment against diseases, but instead they slaughter and eat a poultry if seems to be weak. Currently, this situation is changing due to many efforts put in modernizing poultry farming in rural areas in Tanzania.
Poultry production accounts for the major part of all meat produced in many developing countries, and is an integral component of nearly all rural, peri-urban and urban households. Poultry are of considerable significance to rural as well as national economies and an important source of animal protein.
Poultry production systems should provide fresh air, clean feed and water, protection against predators, shelter from cold, rain, wind, sun and excessive heat; as well as a source of heat when birds are young.
