Abstract/Description

The innovation process involved on-farm testing of 12 chicken strains with 6,348 households living in diverse ago-ecologies of the three countries. Data were collected on traits and, together with a farmer trait preference study, used to develop evidence-based recommendations on the best chicken strains to be promoted in each country.
