  • Our overall research goal is to improve the quality of life for rural poor in Africa by increasing returns from family chicken flocks. Poultry production is an integral part of village life in Africa. Households rely on backyard flocks for food and income. Usually, indigenous chickens in family flocks perform poorly.
    Our aim is to substantially increase backyard poultry production by introducing a high-performing, vaccinated hybrid chicken called Kuroiler. This is a low-maintenance, highly productive scavenger chicken that thrives in village environments.
    It's estimated that each family with Kuroiler chickens will produce twice the amount of meat and four times the number of eggs compared to local indigenous chickens, thus generating over three times the income typical from indigenous flocks.
