Abstract

This study investigated the factor responsible for poultry production in the Northern and Southern regions of Nigeria. Using Geographic Information System (GIS) and applying the FAO categories of poultry farm production for the Northern Nigeria: 55.6% of Household free-range (HHFR) farms (
