      abstract = {Using data from 104 small scale poultry farmers in Oyo  state of Nigeria, this study examined the role of poultry  production in rural poverty reduction. The results show  that majority of the farmers were male (87 percent),  married (87 percent), having family size of 5 to 7 persons  (53 percent), above 44 years of age with farming experience  of 7.5 years on average and with formal education (95  percent). The average net farm income (NFI) is N788,164 per  annum indicating that, the business is worth investing in.  Poverty incidence, poverty depth, and severity of poverty  are 49 percent, 23 percent and 13 percent respectively, the  poor farmers need to generate an additional 23 percent of  the fixed amount of income to cross the threshold of  poverty. The result showed that male headed households and  farmers without tertiary education are poorer. Poultry  income and education level of the household head have  significant, negative effects on poverty status of the  households indicating that, additional increase in these  variables will reduce the probability of being poor.},
