AB  - Avian Influenza outbreak was reported among Nigerian poultry 
  farmers in 2006. The epidemic had serious implication for poultry farming development 
  because several birds were destroyed and those that did not get infected lost 
  market values due to reduction in demand. This study analyzed the impact of 
  the epidemic on market prices of poultry products using survey data obtained 
  from poultry product suppliers and consumers. The data were analyzed with simple 
  descriptive statistics. Results show that 90% of the marketers reported drastic 
  reduction in sale while 95% of the consumers reduced or totally abandon consumption 
  of poultry products. Prices of poultry products also decline with turkey recording 
  the highest reduction (<img src="http://docsdrive.com/images/medwelljournals/javaa/2012/img1-2k12-3618-3622.gif" align="absmiddle">5,000.00 
  per bird). It was recommended that stakeholders in the poultry industry should 
  design consumer education and risk mitigation media programs for the public 
  before any future outbreak in order to minimize future losses.
