The study investigates some of the impediment in poultry farming that were found in Katsina state, Nigeria. The researcher observed that if care is not be taken the issue of poultry farming in northern Nigeria may come to an end due to those impediment. Some of the impediment occur naturally; while some are human induce factors. But the major ones were grouped in to bacteria, fungal, viral, protozoa and helminthic. In due course the research work intended to use the research sample of 100 poultry farmers were selected based on the random sampling technique. The data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics such as standard deviation and percentages to analyze the constraints to poultry production in the study area. The multiple linear regression models were employed to analyze the productivity of poultry production i.e. economic impact. The empirical findings based on the regression results indicated that, backyard poultry had a positive coefficient and statistically significant in influencing output. In other way round, costs of labour and feeds had a negative coefficient and significant in explaining output. The R2 -value of 0.678 implied that the regress or accounted for 67.8% of the variations in the output, while the F-value (4.57) was significant and therefore implies that all the predictors considered for the analysis jointly exerted significant influence on the output, However, the result of the respondents based on the challenges facing by the backyard poultry owners revealed that out of ten (10) problems identified, inadequate fund (98.0%) was ranked highest as the problem encountered by the sampled respondents therefore the research recommended that government should establish agricultural banks close to the farmers with minimum interest rate and as well help the poultry farmers in stabilizing the price and create conducive market environment most especially during the festive periods.
