“…Sambo et al (2015) made similar observations in a participatory evaluation of health and production constraints in Ethiopia. Also, a study carried out in Bangladesh (Billah et al, 2013) revealed that the prevalence of diseases in poultry rearing systems was due to inadequate supply of vaccines and medicines.…”

“…Development program needs to be gender specific and skewed orientation have to be reviewed as it hampers women ability to contribute (Sraboni et al, 2014). The lack of access to credit had limited their participation their participation as well (Sambo et al, 2015). Technical, social and economical support can enable women to contribute meaningfully and such models need to be replicated (Ponnusamy et al, 2015).…”

Technologies, awareness of management practices to overcome diseases, role of stakeholders has been crucial for well-being of livestock and farmers. Efforts are made to provide quality health care with advent of modern techniques, advocating as well as sharing considerable resources with livestock institutions. However, the key component which enhances effectiveness of service delivery is Farm Management. This review paper reinforces necessity to attempt different incubation models for technology demonstrations in improvising it. Collaborative approach involving primary stakeholders (farmers) has been stressed in this endeavour. Models like Non Linear Innovation System [NLIS] and Open Source Innovation System [OSIS] has been shared. Features like development of utilize system, trust, social reciprocity, involvement of information gatekeepers can enhance scope of large scale utilization and diffusion of technologies. The challenge for livestock system is to minimize technological gap between research stations and end users stations. The accessibility of technical knowhow depends on several criteria such as gender, availability of technology, reinforcement strategies among farmers and resource personnel's, networking among institutions, nature of demonstrations and ethical values. It is to be reiterated that more literature evidence needs to be generated in livestock science for In-situ incubation Model of Alternative Technologies [IMAT]. The paper argues for standardizing and providing simple solutions based on revival of knowledge systems. Widening knowledge gap between formal institutions and primary stakeholders can be reduced through IMAT. This enhances bonhomie among different stakeholders during interface through scientific intervention.

“…Poultry production has a major role to play in the economy of developing countries (Shaikh & Zala, 2011;Oladokun & Jonhson, 2012;Sambo et al, 2015) but the cost of feed is thwarting production (Casartelli, Filardi, Junqueira, Laurentiz, & Duarte, 2006;Moreki, 2011;Ja'afar-Furo & Gabdo, 2010;Ntuli & Oladele, 2013). Increasingly the deficit of traditional ingredients such as soyabean (Martens, Temann, Bendelle, Peters, & Lascano, 2012;Mutayoba, Dierenfed, Mercedes, Frances, & Knight, 2011), increasing trends of severe droughts (Sheffield & Wood, 2010) and competition for feed resources between humans and chickens (Ncube, Hamudikuwanda, & Banda, 2012a) continue to be blamed for high cost of poultry feeds.…”

The effect of A. angustissima leaf meal based diets on intestinal physiology and dressed carcass weight was investigated on 150 day old chicks. Three diets, 0, 5 and 10% A. angustissima were used in a three phase feeding programme. At days 14, 28 and 42, two birds from each replicate were slaughtered, dressed and weighed. The weights and lengths of the duodenum, jejunum and colon were measured. Approximately 1 cm specimen was taken from each organ, fixed in formalin and stained for histological analysis. Using a light microscopy, the digestive and absorptive properties of the tissues were assessed. Inclusion of A. angustissima leaf meal increased intestinal wall thickness, epithelial thickness, and villus height of the duodenum (P < 0.05). There was no effect on the proportional weight and length of the jejunum, jejunum villi height and villi width (P > 0.05) but jejunum wall thickness decreased with increasing levels of the leaf meal (P < 0.05). Leaf meal inclusion resulted in an increase in weight, intestinal wall and mucosal thickness of the colon (P < 0.05) and a decline in sub-mucosal fold height and haustra coli width of the colon (P < 0.05). Dressed weight was the same across diets at two weeks (P > 0.05). At four and six weeks, broilers on the control and 5% diet had superior dressed weights to the 10% fed broilers (P < 0.05). It was concluded that for intestinal physiological adaptation that will not compromise weight gain in broilers, up to 5% A. angustissima could be included in broiler diets.
