Increasing the Profitability of Village Broiler Chicken (Tok Pisin version) - PNG NARI
Like 2 Dislike 0 Published on 1 Oct 2016
Improving the profitability of village broiler farming through the use of locally available feed resources has been identified by NARI to be the highest priority initiative in the PNG livestock sector. This sub-sector produces about 6.7 million birds per year valued at A$67M, using high genetic potential birds and commercial feeds. The future viability in the regions is threatened by rising costs of imported ingredients for the commercial feeds.
