Abstract<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Newcastle Disease (ND) constitutes an impediment to poultry production and health with increasing number of cases reported yearly by private veterinarians in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in commercial farms, but the epidemiological status of the disease in local chickens is unknown and outbreaks are usually not reported. <\/span><\/p>\n

The objectives of the study were to determine the importance of poultry in relation to other livestock, the importance of ND in relation to other poultry diseases, the presence and levels of antibodies to ND and management constraints of rural chickens. <\/span><\/p>\n

The study was carried out between April and June, 2012. Semi-structured interviews (SSIs), proportional piling, ranking, matrix scoring, seasonal calendar, mapping and transect walk were used on 40 informant groups in 40 purposively selected villages of the FCT to determine the perception of poultry owners on the clinical signs of ND in local chickens.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, 400 serum samples collected from local chickens in the villages were screened for ND virus antibodies using\u00a0<\/span>haemagglutination<\/span>\u00a0inhibition test (HI) and information on husbandry and management practices was obtained from 400 selected rural poultry owners using a structured questionnaire. <\/span><\/p>\n

The participatory epidemiology (PE) data were subjected to descriptive statistics and Kendall\u2019s coefficient of concordance (W) was calculated to determine the level of agreement between the informant groups. Also, HI test results and information on husbandry and production constraints were subjected to descriptive statistics<\/span><\/p>\n

Introduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1.1 Background of the Study<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is a growing understanding that rural people are knowledgeable on the many subjects that touch their lives and that they possess a creativity and analytical capacity which can greatly assist in the development of improved agricultural practices (Chambers, 1991).<\/span><\/p>\n

Sriskandarajah<\/span> et al., (1989) suggested that knowledge is not a commodity for transfer from the informed to the uninformed, but the outcome of a dynamic, collaborative process between co-learners.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Mariner (1999), livestock owners are no longer seen as an inert substrate upon which development is to be practiced; they are active participants who can and must bring important intellectual contributions to development. <\/span><\/p>\n

Schwabe (1982) and\u00a0<\/span>Thrusfield<\/span>\u00a0(1995), reported that there are many anomalies that influenced a shift towards a broader-based investigation of animal diseases that were not amenable to conventional investigation and control strategies viz complex infectious diseases<\/span> (e.g. tuberculosis and brucellosis), subclinical diseases, non- infectious diseases and diseases of unknown cause.<\/span><\/p>\n

With regard to rinderpest, Plowright (1998) has indicated that \u2018nomadic cattle owners could give uninitiated professionals a firm diagnosis of rinderpest and had even husbanded mild strains purposely to immunize their young stock\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n

Also, Masiga (1997) observed that scientists\u2019 efforts at controlling\u00a0<\/span>trypanosomoses<\/span> in Africa over many years had met with limited success due to failure of farmers\u2019 participation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>According to Huhn and Baumann (1996), among the problems facing veterinary research in sub-Saharan Africa were insufficient applied researches to solve field problems contributing to development and poor working relationships between research\u00a0<\/span>centres<\/span>\u00a023 and farmers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consequently, ideas about agricultural development are changing to incorporate new ideas on farmer participation and a range of approaches have been developed<\/span><\/p>\n
