“…Variable of vaccine could increase broiler's production risk in the Regency of North Minahasa since breeders sometimes gave unsuitable dosage and plasma company sometimes delayed in distributing broiler to plasma breeders, so it could decrease broiler's productivity and increase broiler's production risk. This result is in line with Adepoju, Timothy, and Oyekale (2013), Gocsik et al(2017), andSuwarta andHanafie (2018), stating that factors of breeder's behavior, DOC cost, cost of feed, the dosage of drug and vaccine and business volume had a significant impact against broiler's production risk and income risk.…”

The broiler is one of the potential husbandry commodities to be developed, but its development faces various risks, particularly production risk. This is indicated by fluctuating mortality of broiler in each period. This research aimed to analyze some production factors determining production and production risk of broiler production activity in the Regency of North Minahasa, Province of North Sulawesi. In addition, the research's site was purposively determined, such as six villages representing three districts (District of Dimembe, Kauditan, and Kalawat) having the largest population of breeders under partnership program in the Regency of North Minahasa. From each village, then, breeders were selected by sampling method, comprising 27 breeders of Village of Dimembe, 18 breeders of Village of Matungkas, 19 breeders of Village of Kauditan Satu, 16 breeders of Village of Kauditan Dua, 13 breeders of Village of Kolongan and 10 breeders of Village of Suwaan. The sample of breeders was 100 respondents of the breeder. Further, data collected by survey and analyzed employing Just and Pope Analysis to know some production impacts against production and production risk of broiler. In conclusion, the research shows that the variable of a total of feed, heater, ammotrol, rice husk, and a total of labors could improve broiler production, and variable of Day Old Chick (DOC) could decrease broiler production. Variable of a total of feed, vitamin, rice husk, and a total of labors could decrease production risk of broiler, but a total of a day of chicks could increase production risk of broiler.

“…The RBM model captured the influence of selected farmer's socioeconomic and farm-level factors on the different mitigation strategies adopted by the surveyed farmers to cope with each of the reported risk categories. Following the studies of Adepoju et al (2013) and Babalola (2014), the implicit form of the RBM regression model fitted to the data is given as:…”

“…These results were in line with documented research outcomes on similar subject. For instance, a study by Adepoju et al (2013) revealed that most poultry farmers in remote parts of Nigeria often engage the services of veterinary doctors to ensure their farms are free from disease attacks. Also, Adeyonu et al (2021) reported timely medication/vaccination intervention as key factors in minimizing risks that are linked with high morbidity and mortality in poultry enterprise.…”

Poultry farming provides rich source of animal protein and contributes significantly to food security among Nigeria households. However, the poultry sector is largely vulnerable to risk conditions, ranging from natural events, climate disturbances, and human lapses resulting in tumultuous performances of the poultry enterprise. This study was carried out in the agrarian suburb of Lagos State, Nigeria to determine the dominant risk sources in the poultry egg sector, and the determinants of mitigation strategy adoption among egg farmers. Primary data were obtained in a crosssectional survey of 125 poultry egg farmers drawn by multi-stage random sampling across major communities in the study area, and were analysed by both descriptive and quantitative techniques. A risk behavioural model (RBM) was used to estimate the determinants of farmers’ adoption of specific mitigation strategies. From the findings, 62% of the respondents were male, married (64%), formally educated (74%), and of mean age and household size 40 ± 15 years and 4 ± 2 persons, respectively. Average farmer’s flock size was 524 ± 327 layers, 6 ± 5 average years of farming experience, and average gross income of N1,490,000/production cycle. The identified risk factors (response scores and survival propensities in parentheses) were; disease epidemic shocks (1.82, 44.67%); egg glut shocks (1.85, 39%); adverse weather shocks (2.01, 53%); and input price instability shocks (2.21, 60%). Identified lead risk mitigation strategies were strict adherence to routine vaccination regime; advance egg sales arrangement; proper timing/frequency of bird stocking, and advance/wholesale inputs purchase arrangements. Findings from the study established that medically disenfranchised (2.974; p<0.01) and non-remotely located farms (1.682 p><0.1) had higher propensity for routine vaccination/drugs administration to mitigate disease outbreak. Likewise, experienced farmers (2.780; p><0.01) operating farms with less capital-based assets (2.655; p><0.01) would more likely adopt advance sales arrangement to mitigate egg glut shock. With better human skills development (2.173; p><0.05), poultry farmers would likely engage proper timing for birds stocking to mitigate the effect of adverse weather condition on their farms. To enhance farmers’ timely access to major inputs (feeds, drugs and stocks) for a sustainable poultry egg industry in the study area, localisation of farms within policy-regulated areas and proximity to input supply firms were recommended.

“…Poultry and pig farmers face many risks affecting their livelihoods, income and poverty reduction efforts [1]. Livestock farmers face idiosyncratic risks that affect their farms individually and covariate risks that affect farmers in a community [2]. Epidemics like Highly Pathogenic Poultry Influenza (H5N1) and African Swine Fever (ASF) are covariate risks affecting poultry and pig farmers, respectively.…”

Several risks threaten poultry and pig farming in the West Region of Cameroon. Notwithstanding, the absence of insurance has limited farmers’ risk management options and prevented them from bouncing back rapidly from significant losses. This research explores poultry and pig farming risks and the implications for farming insurance schemes in the West Region of Cameroon. To achieve this, 430 poultry and pig farmers were sampled through a cluster and snowball sampling technique in the Mifi, Bamboutos, Upper-Plateau and Koung-Khi Divisions. The risks farmers faced were assessed as low, medium and high, depending on their likelihood of occurrence and potential impact. Farmers' experiences of livestock losses supported this information. Data on the risks farmers would like to get insurance for was analysed using descriptive statistics. Research results revealed that 75% of risks faced by poultry farmers are ranked low, while 25% are medium. For pig farmers, 64% of risks are low, 27% are medium, and 9 % are high. Diseases (epidemic and non-epidemic) and market/price risks are among the top three risks pig and poultry farmers face. Many farmers are willing to get insurance for epidemic diseases (31.5%) and non-epidemic diseases (26.6%). Most farmers in the Bamboutous Division are more willing to get insurance for non-epidemic diseases (54.5%) and epidemic diseases (32.8%). Comparatively, farmers in the Mifi Division are more willing to get insurance for epidemic diseases (46.7%) and less for non-epidemic diseases (1.5%). Insurance companies can start piloting a disease and market/price fall insurance scheme in the Mifi and Bamboutos Divisions. These companies can create awareness of the importance of livestock insurance through the Interprofessional Association of Pig Farmers and the Interprofessional Association for Poultry Farmers in the West Region.
