Abstract

The study investigated the factors influencing poultry farmer's record-keeping behaviour in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. A well-structured questionnaire was employed to solicit information from 150 poultry farmers using a three-stage sampling technique. The research employed descriptive statistics and Probit regression. Research results revealed that the majority (72.7%) of poultry farmers were male, having the age range of 20 to 30 years (34.6%), about 51.3% were married with an average of 4 persons per household and 59.9% attained tertiary education level. Furthermore, the probit regression result revealed that educational level, difficulty in keeping records and cooperative membership were the factors influencing record-keeping behaviour among poultry farmers. One among other recommendations from this study is that policymakers should implement educational programs to enhance poultry farmers' understanding of innovations and improve their record-keeping behavior. Key words: Behaviour, poultry farmers, Probit model, record keeping.
