Household Commercial Chicken Raising
Cambodia’s daily chicken meat consumption is around 50 grams per person, only half the recognised
requirement of 100 grams. Chicken production, therefore, has an important dual role - improving nutrition and
generating farm income. These are realistic goals as, in very many instances, there is vacant land that could be used for a chicken enterprise.
FLD's five-day course covers all the essential topics for efficient and profitable chicken management and production.
