The study determined the level of perceived effect of climate change on (PFPs), adaptation strategies used by the respondents during the hike in (PFPs), and the level of respondents’ awareness of climate change’s effect on poultry production. An interview schedule was used to collect data with percentages, means, and standard deviation, while inferential statistics were used to test for hypotheses. Results show that the herder-farmer crisis due to open grazing (x ̅=3.52) ranked highest of all the perceived effect variables, while more than half (57.4%) of the respondents had a negative perceived effect of climate change on poultry feed price. Further results show that reduced labor costs (82.2%) ranked highest among all the adaptation strategies used in response to a hike in the price of poultry feed. The majority (70.4%) of the respondents indicated a high level of awareness of climate change’s effect on the price of poultry feed. Further results show that years of experience in poultry (β= 0.540; r=0.00) had a significant relationship at p ≤ 0.01 with the effect of climate change on poultry feed price. The study suggests the adequate usage of e-extension technologies that will provide adequate information on climate variability to help the farmers predict when and when not to produce to prevent low productivity.
