Poultry enterprise is increasingly gaining viability owning to successful
preventive measures of vaccination protocols for various diseases of
economic importance. A cross-sectional study involving 45 poultry farms
across the 6 wards in Wukari, local government area, Taraba State Nigeria;
were surveyed to determine the vaccination practices and the vaccines used by
poultry farmers. Purposive sampling was employed by Interviewer administered
structured questionnaires in the course of the study. Fisher’s exact test was
used to test for association between categorical variables. A total of 8 (17.8%),
3 (6.7%), 3 (6.7%), 8 (17.8%), 6 (13.3%) and 17 (37.8%) farms were visited
in Avyi, Bantaje, Chonku, Hospital, Jibu and Puje wards respectively. The 45
respondents were 57.8% male and 42.2% female farmers. A total of 26.7%, 40%
and 33.3% fell within the age categories; 19-29 years, 30-39 years and ≥40 years
respectively. Majority of the respondents never administered Marek’s (82.2%),
LaSota (51.1%), Komarov (75.6%), fowl cholera (75.6%) fowl typhoid (73.3%) and
coccidiosis (68.9%) vaccines. Only 42.2% of the respondents had vaccination
records while 51.1% had vaccination schedules. There was a significant
association between disease outbreak and the use of infectious bursal disease,
fowl typhoid, fowlpox and coccidiosis vaccines respectively. The association
between the handling of vaccines and disease outbreaks were significant
(p<0.05) for Marek’s, infectious bursal disease, fowl typhoid and coccidiosis.
The result of the association between vaccine administration against vaccine
failures was significantly different (p<0.05) in all vaccines used. In conclusion,
poultry farmers in Wukari are aware of routine vaccinations although a majority
of them do not administer the vaccines and the few that use these vaccines
have poor record and storage practices.
