The study was conducted to assess the impact of village poultry technology adoption on smallholder farmers in central Oromia Region, Ethiopia.Using multi-stage random sampling method, 180 technology participants were selected for face to face interview. Structured questionnaire was employed to collect data. Propensity score matching (PSM) Logit model was used to test the impact of the technology. The study revealed that adopters were significantly benefited by 68.5% from the technology and could produce 101 more eggs per/layer, consumed 18 more eggs/year and got 168.65 Birr more income per layer/year as compared to non-adopters. In conclusion, improved chicken breeds intervention had positive impact on average treatment effect on treated (ATT) and average treatment effect (ATE) on study population. Except livelihood change, the significant differences between adopters and non-adopters on outcome variables were not due to hidden bias but due to the treatment effect of technology intervention.
