dc.description.abstractThe present study was conducted to assess the availability of hatching eggs, hatchability of desi birds eggs, demand for day old chicks and to establish rural hatchery through LIG. Participatory action research design was adopted to conduct the study. The study was conducted in six villages of 2 taluks of Davanagere district. Out of 600 backyard poultry farmers, 180 were selected as respondents. The data collected was through participant observation, focused group discussion and personal interview. Further, on the basis of critical gaps, constraints and the interest of the community, 14 and 12 farmers were selected to form an LIG in Gurusiddapura and Ragimasalwada villages respectively. The LIG members were sensitized and trained to establish rural hatchery unit with the input support from Sujala project. Accordingly both the LIG members established rural hatchery unit and put into work to pull out 5 batches of chicks in a year. The performance of hatchery unit was encouraging with hatchability of 77-79 per cent. 2385 chicks of one week were sold to the needy farmer in and around the village; rest 465 chicks were reared upto 4 months and marketed. The LIG members gained a profit of Rs.45613 and Rs.46125 in Ragimasalwada and Gurusiddapura respectively. To conclude, community led rural hatchery units by livestock interest group were found to be successful enterprise to augment backyard poultry production with better hatchability. Further, backyard poultry production is viable, economical, generated supplementary income for the LIG members and sensitized the rural community to venture into backyard poultry farming.en_US
