The stakeholders stressed the need for government to increase support for NVRI, to meet poultry farmers demand for vaccines and drugs. Nigeria AnimalVaccine VaccineProduction

Stakeholders in the poultry sector have called on the federal government to ease the importation of animal vaccines and drugs into the country, even as they called for privatisation of the vaccine manufacturing unit of the Nigerian Veterinary Research Institute.

This was contained in a communiqué issued yesterday, in Abuja, at the end of a one-day advocacy roundtable on poultry and palm oil, organised by the DFID-funded, Market Development in the Niger Delta in collaboration with PropCom Mai-Karfi, and Foundation for Partnership Initiatives in the Niger Delta .

NVMA Representative, Dr Oladotun Fadipe, speaking on the theme, “Past, Present and Future of Agricultural Value Chain: A Case Study of Poultry sector,” stressed the need to identify and map poultry health distribution channels across Nigeria, and trace vaccines to ensure that small doses get to smallholder farmers, instead of large commercial farmers.
