1.1     Background to the Study

Poultry refers to all birds of economic value to man as source of meat, egg and fibre. Egg production involves the use of good layer birds for the purpose of table egg production (Ogunlade and Adebayo, 2012). Eggs are major sources of animal protein in human diet. According to Oji and Chukwuma (2013), the poultry goes a long way in providing animal protein for the populace because it yields the quickest returns and provides for meat and eggs in a very short time.
