ABSTRACT
Poultry egg has assumed industrial, commercial and nutritional importance in Nigeria. Despite the importance, poultry farmers still face several problems. This study was conducted in Nasarawa South geo-political zone of Nasarawa State to examine the status of poultry egg production, distribution and consumption. The egg production and distribution in the study area were profitable statistically at 1 per cent level of probability. Egg consumption per household was estimatedat 1.83 crates per month. This implies that in a household of more than one person, individual consumed less than one egg per day; which is inadequate.
