  Background: The respiratory system supplies oxygen a crucial component of life, and disperses carbon dioxide a major waste product. Pulmonary parameter studied in the course of this study is Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR). Objective: The study determined the effects of poultry farming on peak expiratory flow rate of farmers. Methodology: A total of 247 poultry farmers and 247 control subjects were sourced from the three senatorial district of Delta State, Nigeria. Stratified random sampling technique was employed in the course of this study, and data gathered from the study were presented as Mean ± Standard Deviation.
