Overview

Analysis demonstrates small ruminant production boosts income in households, indicating its role in poverty alleviation.

  • About 90% of participants earn between ₦10,000 and ₦100,000 through secondary occupations monthly.
  • Regression analysis indicated that education, flock size, and experience bolster gross margins in ruminant farming.
  • Cost of feeding is a significant factor negatively influencing the gross margin of small ruminant production.
