Résumé

Nigeria is an import dependent country and its excessive importation of animal products has seriously affected the Nigerian livestock sector. This paper discussed the Nigerian production capacity of the beef, dairy and poultry sub-sectors, import substitution and its impact on local production including destruction of local products, decline in revenue and demand, smuggling of frozen poultry meat and high cost of feed input as it affects local industry and economic development in Nigeria. It is recommended that there should be a continuous ban on importation of frozen animal products, improvement of dairy breed, subsidy to assist dairy producers/processors, organization of producer groups (pastoralists), investment in cold chain
technology, development of semen collection centre and fodder farms.
