Abstract: This study aims to investigate factors that contribute to mortality in exotic chicken production among small - scale farmers in the Kusini and Mjini Magharib regions of Zanzibar. The research focuses on key factors influencing mortality rates. The findings reveal the association of education levels, chicken breeds, farm management practices, health management, disease outbreaks, vaccination practices, and rearing methods at different level of mortality contribution. Thus, the study gives insights to the development of tailored strategies to mitigate mortality challenges and foster sustainable exotic chicken production.
