Abstract

The results show that there are serious problems of availability of canal water and other inputs. Farm productivity can be significantly increased by strengthening the irrigation infrastructure, and improving the quality of other inputs. There are serious problems observed in poultry production particularly management and houses. Lack of proper technical knowledge and method of vaccination are other bottlenecks.
