Abstract
This study assessed climate change adaptation strategies by poultry farmers in Esan West Local Government Area, Edo State. The specific objectives were to determine the socio-economic characteristics of poultry farmers in the study area and determine the adaptation strategies adopted by the farmers in the study area. Primary data were collected from 50 respondents in Esan West LGA using multistage sampling techniques. Data were analyzed using descriptive and such as frequency, percentage mean and correlation. The findings from the study revealed that most (40%) of the respondents fall within the age range of 31-40years, most of the farmers have either primary school education (40%) or tertiary education (38%). Most of the farmers are married (60%). A significant proportion of the farmers (58%) have less than 100 birds. All the surveyed farmers (100%) have implemented an improved housing system as a strategy to adapt to climate change. While some farmers (40%) have adopted the use of shade nets and vaccines, most of them (60%) have not yet implemented these strategies. The findings indicate that there are significant correlations between certain socio-economic characteristics and the adoption of adaptation strategies. The study concluded that the poultry farmers implemented an improved housing system as a strategic in adapting to climate change. Therefore, the study recommends that addressing the high cost of adaptation strategies and limited financial issues should be prioritize by government and other relevant agencies by supporting poultry farmers to implement effective adaptation strategies and enhance their resilience to climate change impacts.
