Table 4. Severity of constraints affecting commercialization among smallholder poultry farmers in descending form 4. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS twelfth. This could be justified by the fact that there are enough poultry farmers group such as Agbeloba Poultry Farmers Association, Poultry Association of Nigeria (PAN) among others. Though, some of the sampled respondents are not members of this farmers group due to personal reasons, the respondents do not consider it to be a severe constraint hampering their commercialization activities. The paper established that most of the poultry farmers sell their output at the local markets. Majority of the smallholder poultry farmers were involved in the production of layers only. Many the poultry farmers do not have access to extension officers. Multinomial logit mode results were in two aspects as regards to the determination of the factors affecting the choice of market outlet among the smallholder poultry farmers in Oyo state. The first aspect of the multinomial logit result reveals that four out of the fourteen variables included in the mode was significantly influenced by the choice of local market outlet as compared to the farm gate option. The significant variables were household size, contract agreement, road condition and the total number of livestock on the farm. The second aspect of the multinomial logit result showed that four out of the fourteen variables included in the model significantly influenced the choice of urban market outlet as compared to the farm gate option. The significant variables were years of formal education, years of experience in poultry farming, price information and access to extension officers. The most severe constraint faced by the smallholder poultry farmers was long distance to market and the least severe constraint was the lack of farmers group or co-operatives.
