source: FAOSTAT<br />

Notes<br />

(a) FAOSTAT <strong>report</strong>s an overlap between the two categories hence the total number is not the addition of the two.<br />

Other sources (e.g. WB, A203) give a total number of 175 million poultry, of which 143 million are free ranging.<br />

Nigerian official sources give a 140 million poultry total stock and this is the figure used in this calculation<br />

(b) It is estimated that 60% of the total poultry population is scavenging or backyard poultry.<br />

The highly industrialised and integrated poultry production systems represent 25% of the total poultry population and about 15% is kept in semi-commercial sector III farms.<br />

(c) In Africa, it is estimated that 5 % (around 66,000,000 poultry) of the total poultry population (1.320 billion poultry - poultry population of South Africa not included) would be culled within 3 years (A258)<br />
