dc.description.abstractOrganic Poultry Production is a system devoid of the use of cages, synthetic antibiotics, genetically modified organism etc. This study assessed the perception of poultry farmers on organic poultry production in Kwara State, Nigeria. A structured questionnaire was used to elicit information from 158 respondents. Descriptive statistics such as frequency count, percentages and mean score were used to collect data. The results of the analysis showed that 71.5% of the poultry farmers were males, the mean age of the farmers was 42 years, 85.4% were married while the mean years of education was 8.7 years. About 53.7% of the respondents were aware of consumer’s concerns about chemical residues in chicken. The more pressing constraints were lack of adequate information and awareness on organic poultry production. The study therefore concluded that the perception of poultry farmers to organic poultry farming in Kwara state is negative due to lack of adequate information and awareness. Therefore farmers and the general public need to be more enlighten by Agricultural agents and other relevant stakeholders on the health, nutritional benefits and management skills of organic poultry farming in the study area.
