“…The typological analysis allowed us to meet one of the objectives of this study, which is to classify traditional poultry breeding farms according to the values of the synthetic variables taken into account in the classification and the significant links established between the groups of individuals. The results of the present study differ from those obtained by Dzogbema et al (2021), andPindé et al (2020) in Togo, and Burkina Faso with regard to the objectives of the study and the variables introduced for the analysis.…”

“…This trend was previously reported in the results of the General Census of Agriculture and Livestock (RGAC, 2008), indicating that poultry breeding in Niger is practiced by 48% of men, 28% of children, and 24% of women. The findings of the current study are in agreement with the study conducted in Burkina Faso, where Pindé et al (2020) reported that 70.26% of men practiced poultry farming. Conversely, a Zimbabwean study revealed that 88.9% of women dominated poultry activities (Ndiweni et al, 2013).…”

An appropriate agricultural policy that integrates knowledge of endogenous poultry practices should enhance household resilience by contributing to food and nutrition security and sustainable development in developing countries. The current cross-sectional survey aimed to characterize poultry breeding systems and identify types of traditional poultry farmers in Maradi and Zinder in southern Niger. Therefore, 600 households were investigated for the socio-economic parameters of poultry farmers, the breeding methods, the zootechnical parameters of the local chicken, and the health parameters relating to biosecurity and animal care. The results of the descriptive analyses indicated that traditional poultry activity is mainly carried out by men (73.5%) and small farmers (74.2%). Breeding management was primarily free-range breeding (99.3%). The majority of the surveyed herders (67.8%) were illiterate. However, 41.5% of them attended traditional Islamic Koranic schools. Most farmers (80%) were small-scale livestock farmers with an average herd size of 22 ± 24.9. The poultry raised were 93.3% local breeds, with chicken domination (66%). The housing did not meet the required standards, and the feed was mainly cereals. The female chicken can potentially produce 12.64 fertile eggs per clutch and brood 3.53 times per year. The leading cause of mortality in poultry was avian diseases (93.7%) and Newcastle disease in some cases. Poultry vaccination against Newcastle disease was reported by 31.5% of respondents. Of the respondents, 20% have partially observed hygiene and biosecurity measures. About 35.5% of the participants reported the provision of veterinary care, while 44% used phytotherapy to prevent or treat poultry diseases. Based on the results of this cluster analysis, three classes of poultry farmers were distinguished, each with specific characteristics. Poultry farmers in class 1 were particularly characterized by the diversity of their main activity and their level of education, those in class 2 were mostly employed in agriculture and had little school experience, and those in class 3 were characterized by their low level of vaccination practice and their lack of therapeutic animal care. The results also indicated that 15.7%, 70.8%, and 13.5% of poultry farmers belonged to classes 1, 2, and 3, respectively.

“…They had all poultry farming as their main activity with an average of 12 ± 5.50 years of experience, only 5% practiced agriculture in addition to poultry activity. These results differ from those obtained by Pindé et al (2020). Indeed, these authors obtained that 27% practiced poultry farming compared to 67% who practiced agriculture in their study.…”

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the helminth parasites encountered in poultry farms in the peri-urban and rural areas of Bobo-Dioulasso. A total of 160 fecal samples were collected from poultry breeding farms in 2 chicken breeds (exotic and local) and 2 areas (rural and peri-urban). The fecal samples was examined by the flotation method using saturated sodium chloride solution. McMaster technique was used to observe and quantify the oocysts of the different gastrointestinal parasites on the slide. The actors surveyed are all male literate with an average age of 48 ± 8.50 years. The average number held by the actors is 3023 ± 1865 chicken heads. They all have poultry farming as their main activity with an average of 12 ± 5.50 years, only 5% practice agriculture in addition to poultry activity. Of the 160 samples tested, 114 were positive, given an overall prevalence rate of 71.25%. The prevalence rate was significantly influenced by the area (𝜒2 = 11.06, df = 1, 𝑃 < 0.001) and the type of intestinal parasite (𝜒2 = 155.65, df = 2, 𝑃 < 0.001). Three types of gastrointestinal nematodes were responsible of these infections therefore Eimeria sp (53.13 ± 50.06%), Heterakis sp (43.13 ± 49.68%) and Ascaris sp (0.63 ± 7.91%). In positive samples, the number of parasites was found to be between 10 and 85000 for oocysts of Eimeria sp, 15 and 2300 for Heterakis sp and 100 for Ascaris sp. The majority of infections in urban area were caused by Eimeria sp (94.12%, p = 0.003), except on one farm where a Heterakis sp infection was encountered. However, in rural area, all intestinal parasites were encountered, with similar level of infections (p = 0.9) between Eimeria sp (50%) and Heterakis sp (49.30%), and which were significantly higher than infections due to Acaris sp (0.07%, p < 0.001). In rural area, mixed infections with Eimeria sp and Heterakis sp or Eimeria sp, Heterakis sp and Ascaris sp were observed in 41.24% and 1.03% respectively of the positive farms. The chicken breed has no significate on the prevalence (𝜒2 = 0.98, df = 1, 𝑃 = 0.3) but the local breed had the high prevalence of intestinal parasites of 77.92% as compared with exotic breed 65.06%. The results showed a high rate of intestinal parasites in poultry farm in rural and peri-urban areas of Bobo-Dioulasso. Therefore, further investigations and design appropriate control strategies in improving management of farms are necessary and strongly recommended.

“…These introduced chickens have certainly contributed to the dilution of the genetic diversity in local chicken populations and could pose a threat to the existing genetic variability. Local chicken farming in Burkina Faso, as in many developing countries, plays an important role among small-scale producers as the major source of animal protein to humans, income and socio-cultural role [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. However, in Burkina Faso, studies of the genetic diversity of local chicken populations are scarce and often limited to the morpho-biometric characteristics of these populations [ 7 , 8 ] and to farm typologies [ 6 ].…”

The objective of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of local chicken ecotypes from Burkina Faso using microsatellite markers. A total of 71 individuals representing local chicken populations from the Centre-East (18), Centre-North (17), Sahel (18) and South-West (18) were used to estimate genetic diversity indices, population structure and phylogenetic relationships using 20 selected polymorphic microsatellite markers. The number of alleles, mean number of alleles, mean of observed and expected heterozygosity and polymorphic information content were 127, 6.35, 0.391, 0.521, 0.539 and 0.541, respectively. The estimated overall fixation index between loci (F), among populations (FIS) and inbreeding coefficient within chicken ecotypes were 0.239, 0.267 and 0.243, respectively. Analysis of the molecular variance revealed that 77% of the total genetic diversity was attributed to within-population variation and the remaining 1% and 22% were attributed to among-regions differentiation (FST) and among-individual differentiation (FIT), respectively. The highest pairwise genetic distance (0.026) was found between the local Konde ecotype and those from the Centre-North region while the lowest distance was observed between local chickens from the Sahel and the Centre-North regions (0.003). Neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree and principal component discriminant analyses confirmed the observed genetic distances between populations. The results show that local chickens in Burkina Faso have a rich genetic diversity with little differentiation between the studied populations. This study provides important information on measures of genetic diversity that could help in the design and implementation of future genetic improvement and conservation programs for local chickens in Burkina Faso.
