Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) was established to match theoretical and practical scheme together. Agricultural students have been doing their industrial attachment with the poultry farmers for more than a decade. Hence, it becomes pertinent to examine poultry farmers’ perception of Student Industrial Work Experience in order to ascertain the extent to which SIWES general objectives have been achieved. The sample for the study was drawn from a list of population of poultry farmers in Oyo Zone of Agricultural Development Programme. Poultry farms which accepted industrial attachment students were purposively selected out of which 10% of the poultry farmers that made up of 69 were randomly selected for the study. Findings revealed that 86.1% of them fell within age range of 30-40 years and majority (93.3%) of them were literate while the greater proportion (65.8%), kept 100-2000 birds. Students attitude to work pooled mean score was 3.42, and poultry feeding and management 3.22 while poultry health care,1.14 and knowledge of poultry house construction 1.34, attracted lower perception scores. The findings further revealed that farmers perception scores varied across  selected perception variables such as students attitude to work, feeding and management of birds, poultry health care and poultry house construction. The variation was significant at 5.0% level of significance.  Hence, it is suggested that, the curriculum for Students Industrial Work Experience should be reviewed based on the identified perception of poultry farmers about SIWES students.
