The East African Agricultural Journal, 5(3), 235–240. https://doi.org/10.1080/03670074.1939.11663970012-8325https://kalroerepository.kalro.org/handle/0/9933The financial losses incurred by poultry farmers are normally much higher than is generally realized, and at intervals may reach such proportions that not only do running expenses show a deficit, but large inroads are made into working capital through the decimation of flocks by disease. Even on farms that show a profit, such losses are often considered unavoidable and incidental to the business of breeding, hatching, rearing,and maintaining flocks of high egg-laying strains. I hope in this article to focus the attention of East African poultry keepers on some of their main sources of loss, and, by doing so, to indicate where a greater concentration of effort is most likely to be repaid.enhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Journal ContributionPoultryLossesFinancial analysisHatchingBreedinghttps://doi.org/10.1080/03670074.1939.1166397
