dc.description.abstract | In Uganda today, chicken farming has been adopted as one of the income
generating ventures. This involves keeping of chicken for eggs and meat
products. The business requires capital investment so as to get income and in
the process, there are a lot of risks involved such as low returns on investment,
losses, diseases and so on. There are also costs incurred including feeding,
vaccinations, transportations, paying workers salaries among others which
need to be dealt with well in order to achieve success. The problem in
this business is that farmers lack information on how to start and sustain the
business. This has made many startup businesses suffer losses and eventually
decline then shutdown. This calls for farmers to be exposed to quick and
timely access to correct information to the chicken business a success to
many chicken farmers. Thus as a team, we have developed an information
dissemination mobile system that will guide farmers on how to manage the
chicken business. | en_US |
