Family poultry production - Introduction to the sustainable control of Newcastle disease

Published by - Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN

The video presentation provides background information about the importance of Newcastle disease control for family poultry producers. It elaborates the selection criteria for vaccines available in the market, and also highlights the importance of earmarking an adequate budget for vaccination and community training programmes. The video describes how community representatives can be trained as poultry vaccinators, which is a cost effective way of reaching out to maximum households.

The content of the video was prepared by Dr Robyn Alders for Associate Poultry Advisers as part of a training programme organized by FAO in cooperation with IFAD.
