Ⅰ. Introduction
Bangladesh is an agriculture-based developing country in south-east Asia. Poultry is
one of the most important agricultural subsectors in the country and about 87 percent
of rural household’s rear poultry, with an average flock size of 6.9 birds(Apu and
Saleque, 2012). The commercial poultry sector achieved a significant annual average
growth rate of 15 –20 percent. Currently, the most available broiler strains in
Bangladesh are Cobb 500, Ross 308, Indian River Meat, Tiger Sasso, Habbard and
Arber acre(Shahidur Rahman et al., 2017). The shares of industrial and backyard poultry
sectors in Bangladesh are approximately 60:40 for meat production(Huque et al., 2011).
Therefore, broiler plays an important role to fulfill the meat requirement and economic
growth due to the advantage of quick return. At present, per capita meat consumption
in Bangladesh is 4.5kg per year(BER, 2016). According to vision 2021, poultry meat
consumption target is to increase from 4.5kilogram to 7.5kg (Bangladesh Bureau of
Statistics 2016). But, during the rearing period, several antibiotics like bacitracin,
virginiamycin, flavomycin, avilamycin, tiamulin, colistin sulphate, oxytetracycline,
aureomycin, chlortetracycline, neomycin sulphate, erythromycin and enrofloxacin have
been used for several decades in broiler feed at a sub-therapeutic level for reducing the

beneficial effects of LED light color, period and intensity on broiler performance.
Therefore, LED light and system was applied in the field to optimize productivity,
verification on the influence of light color, source and intensity on the blood properties,
meat quality and immune responses of chicken. On the other hand, to the development
of natural growth promoting agents, antibiotics were replaced with probiotics for the
production of safe poultry meat. In Bangladesh, farmers are familiar antibiotics to add
into poultry feed to improve the performance and disease resistance capacity of poultry.
Therefore, it is important to verify the performance of chicken using natural feed
additives as alternatives to antibiotics. This study was done to assess whether the
implemented project had a positive impact of knowledge transfer to village poultry
farmers and to their society in large.
The composition of this study is to examine the selection of the project area in

execute joint research program, seminar and or workshop, publication of the research
findings, arrangement of the training program, exchange of Masters and PhD students
etc. In 2015, BLRI & JBNU jointly submit a joint project proposal to train the small
holder village people on broiler rearing, development of natural growth promoter for
chicken to replace the antibiotics in Bangladesh and adaptation of LED lighting system
to enhance the performance and reduce the electric cost for broiler production.
The second village is Pandhua Village with the population of 2,500-2,600. Main items
of production are chicken, milk cow, vegetable, rice and others. The joint facilities have
outstanding road, electricity, chick, feed, internet and others, and there is a market that
may sell poultry equipment, poultry and poultry products in the nearby area.

Training is one of the most important factors for successful broiler farming. The
education of poultry farms was conducted three times in April, June and August 2018,
and the education site was conducted at the BLRI. A training programme at two
different locations among 20 farmers were arranged covering, way to keep hygienically
operating poultry and poultry products; benefits of proper uses of drugs and additives;
disadvantage of excessive drug in poultry and ultimate adverse effects of indiscriminate
drug use on human health. More specifically, BLRI researcher was trained to the village
farmer to teach about housing and management of broiler farming, boisecurity, ration
formulation, antibiotic feed broiler production, lighting(light color and intensity), and
vaccination and disease control of chicken. Twenty farmers were attended in this
consecutive three training program.
In each village the selected farmers were invited to the BLRI compound to have brief
explanation on the planned evaluation and scheduling the time of visiting their
households for field assessment. In each village, 10 farmers were selected from the
village involved in the assessment study. Another 10 farmers were considered with no
training program. To know the impact of practicing improved feeding and management
techniques through this project, a face to face interview method was applied following

pretested well-structured questionnaires for this survey. The questions were based on
general knowledge on chicken, chicken management, health, welfare and biosecurity
issues. Any answer if not enlisted or taken into consideration as per questionnaire
requisite, during the time of rechecking the investigator went to the farm area and
collect the data for minimizing the error.
The mean carcass traits of the experimental chicken reared by the farmer using
conventional and improved management system are presented in Table 3. Carcass
characteristics were not significantly influenced by the inoculation of probiotic in the
diet and LED lighting in the poultry farm. Though the dressing percentage was non
significantly different among the treatments, but numerically higher percentage was
found with addition of probiotic in the diet and LED light using farmers. On the other
hand, carcass characteristics(breast, thigh, drumstick, wings, giblet, fat pad, spleen,
shank and bursa weight percentage were not influenced due to differences of feeding
and management techniques. The results showed that meat pH and CIE(a* redness) were
significantly increased by the probiotic and LED light using group. However, cooking
loss, CIE(L*lightness and b*yellowness) were not influenced by using feeding and

Cost benefit analysis of the present study was presented in Table 3. The total fixed
cost(i.e shed, cage. Farming goods, electrical goods, bank interest, miscellaneous) per
batch of broiler was varied from BDT 6095.14 to BDT 6207.68. The total variable
cost(labor cost, feed cost, medicine cost etc) was between BDT 197694.36 and BDT
208726.43. Thus, the total cost per 1000 broiler was within the range of BDT 203789.14
to BDT 214934. Similarly, the gross returns were between BDT 252580.02 and BDT
256373.05. However, after implementation of the project significantly higher gross
returns, return over variable cost and input-output ratio or BCR were found by the
beneficiaries farmers(selected) in compare to traditional farmer(non selected) of that
villages. This income has a positive effect on the livelihood impact of the beneficiaries

in terms of improving the household diet, improving the housing conditions of the
family, household assets and educational expenditures of the children(Sonaiya, 2007).
Findings from the survey indicate that some of the poorer beneficiaries who nevertheless
managed to qualify for project participation did in several instances graduate out of
poverty after which they reduce investment in poultry farming.
addition of probiotics long with LED lighting system may be an alternative way to
produce safe broiler meat production in Bangladesh. Safe broiler meat production can
be an excellent source of low cost and high quality products. This program helps to
develop and monitoring and providing technical support in selected areas leads to rear
chicken without antibiotics in feed and water and increase farmer’s income and
reducing poverty improve livelihood accordingly.
This study found that implementation of this project has a positive impact on
upgrading their knowledge on poultry management. The study exhibits that imparting
knowledge to the selected smallholder farmer can act as a media of transferring poultry
rearing skills to the society. From the findings of the study it is worthy to predict
improvement in the productivity of broiler chicken in the individuals and communities
under coverage of the program. Biosecurity plan should be developed and practiced
before an outbreak occurs, not as a reaction of outbreak.
The study establishes that community oriented projects can have significant impact in
boosting productivity in village poultry keeping. A further, wider supplementation study
is required to understand the performance, immune system, variation in the intestinal
microbial counts, and any other possible alteration in the intestinal biota of the
broilers(Nosrati et al., 2017). Further long term program is needed to replicate this
success stories to other location of the country. Therefore, KOICA should begin a long
term program of more formalized application of safe broiler meat production techniques
under the smallholder village farmers in Bangladesh. Improved smallholder poultry
production has proven itself as a viable and manageable way for poor women to
enhance household incomes, to develop their social status. Poultry rearing may
successfully be combined with general awareness raising programmes for women.
In Bangladesh, a lot of small scale farmers are uneducated or non-trained. Farmers
are not aware about antibiotic uses and its residual impact on human health. Short
duration, limited smallholder farmers were selected to implement this project. Limited
fund allocation, variation of rules and regulation between the countries and donor
agencies are also an important limitation of this project. Therefore, it is judged that there
is a need for a projector that can overcome these limitations in the future.
