Abstract:

Poultry constitutes the largest group of livestock that are kept all over the world. They play an important role in poverty alleviation and food security. Unfortunately, the existing veterinary clinics especially in Nigeria are not sufficient to provide the needed services in the management of poultry diseases. In this paper, an alternative strategy is provided by developing models for assessing the severity and management of some poultry diseases using Fuzzy cognitive maps.
