Purpose of the Study
The
broad objective of the study is to investigate climatic change
implication on poultry production in Delta State. The specific
objectives are to:
i. Examine the demographic characteristics of poultry farmers in Delta State.
ii. Assess the level of awareness of the farmers on implication of climatic change
iii. Examine the sources of information on climatic change
iv. Ascertain the implication of climatic change on poultry production
v. Examine measure adopted by poultry farmers to control the implication on climatic change
Hypothesis
The following hypotheses were formulated to guide the study:
i.
There is no significant relationship between demographic characteristic
and measure taken to control climatic change implications
ii. Demographic characteristics of poultry farmers have no
significant relationship with awareness about climatic change
implication
Significance of the Study
The poultry sub-sector of the livestock sector is seen as viable sector to boost deficiencies in Nigeria.
However,
the sector faces some constraints for future development especially the
trends from climatic change. This investigation on the implication of
climatic change on poultry production will therefore be useful as the
findings will be useful tools in enhancing production as guides for
policy makers. The result of the findings will assist poultry farmers
identify indigenous technologies that could help in adapting to climatic
change threats.
Limitation of the Study
During the course of this
research work, I was confronted with some problems which militated
against a thorough investigation. Finance was a major constraint as the
research mandated my travelling from my location to the study location,
also, the procurement of materials for the study was another constraint
put forward by lack of finance.
Again as an undergraduate student,
the work load do not leave much time for a wider research. Finally,
there was difficulty in locating materials for the research.
