A Vermin-Proof Poultry Loft

Abstract

Only a small percentage of farmers in East Africa specialize in intensive poultry farming,but on most farms a few fowls are kept for household use.These fowls are usually indifferently housed and are subject to frequent ravages by kicheche1 and other vermin. A plan is appended of a vermin-proof poultry loft which is easily constructed and well within the means of most East African farmers. This is essentially a design for the farmer and is not meant for the poultry specialist.
