Poultry: guinea fowl, fowls, ducks, turkeys
Local Chicken/Guinea Fowl Production: Production of indigenous chicken especially guinea fowl can be enhanced with provision of small scale incubators to replace natural brooding and cold chain system can boost processing and transport to southern markets
Swine:
The region is culturally favoured for the rearing of swine. Most of the indigenous households keep swine. The region currently supplies the local and southern markets for slaughter.
Others (dogs, donkeys):
These are traditional animals reared and used for social and domestic purposes. The development of this sub-sector will go a long way to improve on rural incomes, intermediate rural transport and traction for land preparation.
