Amo Farm Sieberer Hatchery Limited, the producers of Noiler dual-purpose chicken breed, in line with the Federal Government food security initiative, has reiterated its commitment to the provision of affordable food protein to Nigerians through agricultural initiatives.
Dr Ayoola Oduntan, the Group Managing Director of Amo Farm Sieberer Hatchery Limited, added that the occasion of Nigeria’s independence celebration resonates with its patriotism and rededication to national developmental goals which the company is entirely committed to, through agricultural initiatives that would erase the traits of malnutrition in Nigeria.
Dr Oduntan stated that the well-being of Nigerians should be a collective effort by the government and the private sector in order to achieve the desired impact, considering the enormous task involved.
“This challenge has inspired Amo Farm’s strategic role in supporting 1.4 smallholder farmers in Nigeria and Africa to partake in small-scale poultry farming in Noiler, the dual purpose yield high-quality chicken,” he said.
Noiler is a genetically improved dual-purpose chicken breed that is similar in looks and taste to the native chicken, but is resistant to diseases and produces four times more eggs and three times more meat.
It was developed by Amo Farm Sieberer Hatchery Limited (ASFH) after several years of research through a pedigree breeding and selection programme along the lines of the indigenous chicken, which is the chicken of choice in Nigeria because of its distinctive taste and texture.
