3. Rationale
Nearly all rural and peri-urban/urban families in the developing world keep a
flock of poultry, either in a free-range system or in a small scale confined
system. The birds are mainly chickens. In small scale confined systems the
chickens are kept for commercial purposes in order to support family income.
Small-scale poultry production is an obvious and well-documented opportunity
for poor people to start an income generating activity.
Poultry are cheap, easy to rear, and easy to manage. Consequently, there has
been and there is a growing attention and interest in poultry production in
villages as well as in peri urban and urban areas of Dire Dawa. Such trends are
expected to generate peri urban, urban and rural employment opportunities in
the poultry subsector. Unemployed youth from the rural and urban origins have
recently started to establish micro-enterprise business centers for raising poultry
to take advantage of growing markets and market demand in urban areas.
In spite of such a substantial potential and opportunity, the poultry sector is not
developed to the expected level. The low productivity of the city’s poultry
production system is mainly attributed to shortage and high cost of breed
supply, shortage and high cost of feed supply, lack of institution that provides
poultry related information, difficulty to get land, disease prevalence, lack of
technical support, and lack of poultry related technologies whereas problems
related to poultry product marketing include lack of quality control, poor quality
of poultry product supplied from rural/urban areas and lack of veterinary
services.

The major opportunities for the development of the poultry sector in Dire Dawa
include high demand for egg and meat, presence of enabling policy that
encourages investment in the poultry sector and easy access to transportation
systems. Thus, in order to develop these poultry sector in Dire Dawa, all the
challenges identified by value chain analysis conducted before need to be
carefully considered and addressed.
4. Objectives
5. Technology Description
The production of eggs is the motivation for enterprise and so anything, which
causes a reduction of the number of eggs available for productive use, reduces
the viability of the enterprise. Egg laying nest box is an important feature in
poultry for several reasons. If they are laid egg on the floor, the eggs may
become contaminated or stepped on, kicked or otherwise damaged. Chickens
tend to eat damaged eggs, which can lead to egg pecking and eating as behavior
problems. This problem can be addressed by using a broody nest box, which can
offer laying egg while providing a safe and comfortable place for layers to do
their business. Our technology sought to design three levels egg laying nest box
that can be used both for large scale and small scale enterprises. The eggs are
laid on to nest box floors. The designed poultry nest can be manufactured from
raw materials which are available in local market and also all parts of the nest
box are manufactured locally. The direct Materials for constructing laying nest
box are plywood, MDF and timber. The overall size of this broody nest box is
7
100% Technology Imitation Proposal for Three Levels Egg Laying Nest Box
May 1, 2017
1525L*400W*1480H mm. It has 3 levels and each floor contains 4 laying nests
boxes. Each nest boxes have the capacity to serve 7 - 9 range of egg layer hens
per nest, total range 84 – 108. (Average 8 egg layer hens per nest * 4 laying nest
box per level * 3 levels = 96) egg layers can be use in this laying nest boxes.
The top level’s roof of the nest box will have a slope towards front. The slope of
the roof is 80 mm or 11 o . Total manufacturing cost and selling price of the
product is 1842 and 2210.4 ET birr respectively.
6. Feasibility Analysis
This section concerns the feasibility analysis on Three Levels Egg Laying Nest
Box. It addresses the major parameters that need to be considered when
evaluating the importance of the identified technologies in order to construct or
100% technology copy: economic, technical and environmental securities.

Selling price = 1155.52 ET birr Selling Price: - 4,416 ET Birr or 192 dollar
As one can see from the above table if one furniture making enterprise construct
these poultry nest box product, he or she will be productive due to the
minimized price of the manufacturing cost. In addition to this, the maximum
selling price of metal box product which comes from abroad - China is about
4,416 ET Birr or 192 dollar before wholesaler profit. The user (poultry man) of
this product will be benefited from the product. Because they can buy a poultry
nest at minimum price which has maximum serving capacity (12 hole broody
nest box). Due to this and other facts this poultry nest is cost effective as well
as productive.
B. Resource utilization
The designed poultry nest can be manufactured from raw materials which are
available in local market. The direct and indirect Materials for constructing
laying nest box are plywood, MDF and timber and glue, nail, varnish and
sandpaper respectively.

In order to keep the nest in good and clean condition, it is necessary to check
and maintain/replace litter regularly. At least 2 inch of new wood shavings
should be placed quarterly in nest box. Annual repair of nest box is a must. Old
nest floor material must be discarded. In general, the maintenance/repairing cost
of the nest are much less because of the nest material which is cheap and long
repairing period.
Litter is spread on the floor to prevent the direct contact with the floor. Straw,
rice husk and wood shivering are generally used for making the litter. It should
be dry and free of moulds. Caked or moldy material should be removed and
refilled with fresh materials. Extensively wet and dusty litter should also not be
used. Using new litter for each flock is good for collecting clean egg and to
fulfill the nature of hen. A litter material is available in the local market.
