Abstract

The evaluation and demonstration of Potchefstroom Koekoek Chicken were conducted in and around Mehoni Areas of Southern Tigray Zone, Ethiopia. Participant farmers were selected purposively based on their interest to construct poultry house; to cover other relevant poultry package costs, record the required data and to the most was identified by Mehoni Agricultural Research Center in Collaboration with the Raya Azebo Woreda Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Development Poultry experts based on the information given by national poultry research coordinating team (DZARC Poultry Team). The Survival of chicks during the first eight weeks of brooding using 40-watt bulb and traditional pot heater at farmers management condition were 82.86% (319 were survived out 385). On average about 94.56% of the chicken were survived to up to 2 nd eight weeks of age while the overall survivability has attained to be 78.18% in the study areas.
