• Poultry farming is the process of raising birds such as chickens, quails, ducks, and turkey for obtaining meat eggs for food. In India, poultry farming is done as a side business along with agriculture or as a main profession. 

Minorca, Ancona, and Giriraja are recognized breeds or varieties of poultry known for their egg-laying or meat-production qualities.

Poultry farming is undertaken to raise domestic fowl for egg production from layers and the meat from the broilers

In the poultry industry, hens specifically raised for egg production are termed 'layers', whereas those raised for meat are called 'broilers'.

During the growing period, poultry birds require adequate space to prevent overcrowding, which can lead to stress, disease, and stunted growth. Proper spacing ensures efficient access to feed and water.

Broilers are fast-growing birds specifically bred for meat production. They typically reach market weight within 7 to 8 weeks of age.
