This is a very resourceful publication very worthy of commendation. However i wish i can understand the following better: 1. What is the correlation between high concentration of poultry farms and low potential of behavioural disease occurrence in the earmarked areas. 2. Reduced potential for metabolic diseases in some areas was attributed to proximity to Benin Republic. The ensuing illustration isn't very clear. Thanks

Behavioural disease occurrence in poultry is relevant to poultry production and it could probably be observed in places where poultry are kept either as commercial or domestic consumption. If this is true, it means that behaviuoral diseases such as aggressive pecking, cannibalism etc. could be experienced in places where birds are kept and the occurrence/frequency would be factor of population if monitored. Therefore, potential is a function of concentration within pen, farm and location.

Once poultry is located in a place there is possibility of disease occurence in that area this fact is in turn depend on managment practice by that farmer. If there are high concetration of poultry farms then the possibility increases again
