Analysis
Most farmers reduced their stock on poultry thereby prophylactic and vaccination treatment reduced compared to last quarter 2022 due to the following reasons;
- High cost of feed
- High cost of day old chicks
- Expensive rate of medication
- Unavailability of land for poultry business
Note however that, Marek’s disease is mostly a recombinant vaccine carried out at the hatchery hence no records were gathered.
