The study examined the involvement of Women in Livestock Production in Lafia Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, Nigeria. Simple random sampling was used to select 90 women livestock producers. Simple Descriptive Statistics, Participation Index and Multiple Regression Analysis were used to analyse the data.

The grand participation index (2.15) implies that women rarely participated in livestock production.. Women always participated in the feeding of animals (mean=2.94), cleaning of pens and cages (mean=2.90), provision of water (mean=2.90).The regression results revealed that education (p<0.05), income (p<0.01), access to credit (p<0.01) and cooperative participation (p<0.01) were the significant factors influencing women involvement in Livestock Production. Poultry and goats were the major types of Livestock kept by women. The major constraints faced by women in livestock production were inadequate capital, pre-occupation with household chores and dominance by their spouses.

The study recommends that the training needs of women involved in livestock production should be identified. The women should also be linked with micro finance banks in order to have access to capital which can be used to increase their level of involvement in Livestock production.
