Leveraging Mobile Technology to Optimize Market Information Dissemination and Improve Productivity Among Poultry Farmers Gbemisola Janet Awotunde, Olusegun Adetokunbo Adekunle, Kayode Samuel Obaniyi, Ebenezer Ayorinde Kolawole, Abdulrazaq Kamal Daudu, et al. Nipes Journal of Science and Technology Research, 2025 The increasing demand for effective communication tools in agriculture has made mobile technology crucial in enhancing poultry farmers' access to vital information and improving overall productivity. This study aimed to explore the use of mobile technology in optimizing information dissemination and increasing productivity among poultry farmers in Kwara State, Nigeria. Specifically, the study aimed to: (i) identify the mobile platforms and tools used by poultry farmers for information dissemination, (ii) assess their benefits on poultry farm productivity, (iii) examine the socioeconomic, production, institutional, and technological factors influencing mobile technology use in poultry farming, and (iv) identify the challenges faced by farmers in utilizing mobile technologies effectively. A survey design was employed, with a simple random sampling technique, and 130 poultry farmers participated. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results indicated that mobile phone technology is widely used in Kwara State and shows significant potential for economic impact. WhatsApp (92%) was the most commonly used platform for sharing poultry-related information. Most farmers viewed mobile phones as convenient, fast, and effective tools for communication. The analysis revealed that mobile technology improved management practices, disease control, and market access. Furthermore, factors such as age, education, and the high device cost significantly influenced mobile technology use in poultry farming at a level ≤ 0.05. The study concludes with recommendations for the design of mobile solutions aligned with the specific needs of poultry farmers to support the sustainable development of the poultry farming.
Gender Differentials in Agripreneurship: Assessing the Impact of Agripreneurship on Household Food Security among Young Rural Agripreneurs in Southwest Nigeria Abdulrazaq Kamal Daudu, Sidiqat. A Aderinoye-abdulwahab, Halimah Egbewole Yuzuncu Yil University Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2025 The study identifies youth unemployment as a critical challenge linked to poverty and instability, while emphasizing its potential to become a catalyst for rural transformation through agribusiness. It investigates the influence agripreneurial activities on household food security among rural youths in Southwest Nigeria, comparing outcomes by gender. Using a multi-stage random sampling technique, 432 rural youth agripreneurs were surveyed between January and March 2021, and data were analyzed with descriptives, Simpson's diversity and food security indices. Food security was measured using modified international indices, including food consumption scores, dietary diversity, coping strategies, food insecurity access, and household food provisioning. Results indicate high levels of diversification, with 92.6% of males and 89.6% of females involved in various agribusiness activities. Male agripreneurs exhibited higher agripreneurial behaviour and food security levels, with a food security index of 0.6513 compared to 0.4993 for females. Significant gender differences in food security were observed. The study concludes that agripreneurship positively impacts food security for both genders but benefits males more. It recommends targeted agripreneurship training programs by government and NGOs to enhance youth skills, bridge the gender gap, and improve agribusiness performance in rural areas.
Adoption of bio-security measures against avian-influenza outbreaks among poultry farmers in Jigawa State, Nigeria Felix Olayinka Oladipo, Oladele Gafaru Bello, Abdulrasaq Kamal Daudu, Ajoke Oluwatoyin Kayode, Oyedola Waheed Kareem, et al. Journal of Agricultural Extension, 2020 The study examined the adoption of selected bio-security measures against avian-influenza (HPAI-A/H5N1) outbreaks among poultry farmers in Jigawa State, Nigeria. A total of 120 respondents selected through a multistage sampling procedure was used for the study. Structured questionnaire was used to elicit information from the respondents. Data collected were subjected to percentages, mean and binary regression. The study revealed that the high level of adoption on biosecurity measures of segregation and traffic control (x̄ =2.82), medium level of adoption for cleaning (x̄ =2.440) and low level of adoption for disinfection of the standard bio-security components (x̄ =1.290). There was a positive and significant relationship between some socio-economic characteristics (age, average monthly income, farming experience and membership of social group) and adoption of bio-security measures of poultry farmers. Constraints to adoption of biosecurity measure poultry tension/veterinary contact, lack of buffer areas (x̄ =3.21) around the farm site and inadequate access to fund (x̄ =3.21). Provision of accessible and affordable credit facilities by government to poultry farmers, and extension agents should intensify more effort on continuous training and constant veterinary services for poultry farmers in the study area towards increased capability to eradicate the negative effect of this acute and highly contagious viral disease on their means of livelihood.Keywords: Adoption of bio-security, avian-influenza, outbreak, poultry farmers
