3. 1. ABOUT POULTRY FARMING
 Poultry farming: Its the process of raising domesticated birds such
as chicken, duck, turkey and geese for the purpose of getting meat
and egg for food. Poultries are reared in large numbers and
chickens being the most common one.
 Rearing of fowls (chicken), ducks, turkeys, partridges and pheasants
for their egg and meat is known as POULTRY FARMING. India is the
5th largest country in poultry producer after China, former USSR,
USA and Japan. The specialized meat producing poultry birds are
called broilers while the ones specialized for egg laying are known
as layers.

4. 1. ABOUT POULTRY FARMING
 Poultry is the most efficient converter of low fiber food stuff
(which is not good for human consumption) into highly
nutritious animal protein food.
 Its raising is more beneficial than livestock as it is easy to raise
and maintain, faster breeding and growth, short life span,
requires little space and can be acclimatized to various climatic
conditions, average yield is 60 eggs per year, but in better breed
it is up to 240 eggs per year.
 In India most of the poultry is done in Haryana, West Bengal and
Punjab.

5. 2. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BROILERS AND LAYERS
 Differences between BROILERS and LAYERS
1. Broilers are reared for obtaining meat
2. Boilers yield more for meat and they grow
well
3. These develop quickly, and thus require a
protein-enriched diet with adequate fat
4. They do not need ample space or high
lighting
1. An egg laying poultry is called egger or layer
2. Layers produce more numbers of large sized
eggs
3. These require less protein and fat
4. These require appropriate room and lighting,
particularly around the laying time

6. 3. INDIGENOUS BREEDS (Desi Type)
 Indigenous breeds: are well adapted to our agro-climatic conditions and are resistant to many
tropical diseases and can survive and produce milk on poor feed and fodder resources. Some of
these breeds are well known for their high milk and fat production.
 Aseel, Malay, Kadaknath, Ghagus, Chittagong, Brahma, Bursa, etc., Aseel is used in cockfighting
game. Aseel and Malay were taken to Europe about 2000 years ago through middle east which
gave rise to present day European breeds.
 The indigenous hens are Aseel, Kadaknath, Chattisgarh and Bursa. The most popular breed is
Aseel. They possess the advantage of being hardy (strong) and possess natural immunity against
common diseases. The disadvantages are: They are smaller in size, slow growing, lay small-sized
eggs and a smaller number of eggs.

7. ANKLESHWAR
 The name of the breed is derived from the Ankleshwar region
of district Bharuch. These birds are mainly reared by tribal
communities in South Gujarat for backyard poultry farming.
The estimated population in the Bharuch and Narmada
districts of Gujarat, is 4,500 birds. They are maintained without
vaccination and medication, and have reasonable feed
efficiency as they survive on 25-30 gms of grains, scavenging
and maintain excellent fertility.

8. MALAY
 A large bird very strong and hardy with a
quarrelsome temperament. Possesses all the
characteristics of a good game bird such
as coloring (primarily bay, chestnut, gray, roan,
palomino, black, etc.), large eyes, long mane and
tail, strong, yet refined legs, high headset when in
action, and low tail set.

9. ASEEL
 The Asil or Aseel is an Indian breed or group of breeds of
game chicken. It is distributed in much of India, particularly in
the states of Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Odisha, it has
been exported to several other countries. The Asil originated
in the Indian subcontinent, the area that includes modern
India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka it is thought to be
among the oldest breeds of fighting cock. The word "Asil" is
from Arabic, and means "purebred".In India, it is a general
term for all fighting breeds.

10. 4. EXOTIC BREEDS
 Exotic breeds: are used for crossbreeding. Exotic means foreign is not native. An exotic is developed somewhere
and brought to an area. An indigenous bred to me place will be exotic to another place. This exotic breeds may
experience difficulties due to environmental changes.
 White Leghorn, Rhode Island Red, Plymouth Rock (Broiler), New Hampshire, Black Minorca, etc., The
White Leg horn is the most popular egg breed all over the world, because it has small sized body and
therefore, it requires less feed for its maintenance. Rhode Island Red is also good egg layer and broiler
(meat yielding).
 Cross breeds of these types have high egg yield while some are good broilers (for meat) with high
nutritive value. Poultry exclusively grown for meat are called broilers, high egg yielding are called
layers. The young growing birds before the attainment of sexual maturity are called growers..

11. WHITE LEGHORN
 The Leghorn is a breed of chicken originating in Tuscany, in
central Italy. Birds were first exported to North America in 1828
from the Tuscan port city of Livorno, on the western coast of Italy.
They were initially called "Italians", but by 1865 the breed was
known as "Leghorn", the traditional Anglicization of "Livorno".
The breed was introduced to Britain from the United States in
1870

12. RHODE ISLAND RED
 The Rhode Island White is a breed of chicken originating in the
U.S. state of Rhode Island. Despite their very similar names and
shared place of origin, the Rhode Island White is a distinct breed
from the Rhode Island Red. However, Rhode Island Reds and
Whites can be bred together to create Red Sex-Link hybrid
chickens.

13. 5. DISEASES IN POULTRY
 Procure the day old chicks, which are free from diseases from reputed hatcheries
 Feeds must be tested to ensure that they are free from microbial agents or toxins at
periodic intervals.
 Storage facilities for feed ingredients/feeds must be managed in a hygienic manner.
 Sheds having infected flocks should be served with feed at the end of a delivery day.
 Always ensure the supply of clean and potable water. If necessary use appropriate
sanitizers.
 Periodic inspection of wells, piping and tanks to ensure that water supplied is clean.
1. Some ways to prevent diseases in
poultry

14. 1. Fowl pox
 The dry form of fowl pox is characterized by raised, wart-like lesions on unfeathered areas (head,
legs, vent, etc.). In laying hens, infection results in a transient decline in egg production. In the wet
form there are canker-like lesions in the mouth, pharynx, larynx, and trachea. The wet form may
cause respiratory distress by obstructing the upper air passages.
 Treatment - No treatment is available. However, fowl pox is relatively slow-spreading. Thus, it is
possible to vaccinate to stop an outbreak.
 Prevention - Fowl pox outbreaks in poultry confined to houses can be controlled by spraying to kill
mosquitoes. However, if fowl pox is endemic in the area, vaccination is recommended.
5. DISEASES IN POULTRY

15. 2. Newcastle Disease
 Newcastle disease is characterized by a sudden onset of clinical signs which include hoarse chirps
(in chicks), watery discharge from nostrils, laboured breathing (gasping), facial swelling, paralysis,
trembling, and twisting of the neck (sign of central nervous system involvement). Mortality ranges
from 10 to 80 per cent depending on the pathogenicity.
 Treatment - There is no specific treatment for Newcastle disease. Antibiotics can be given for 3-5
days to prevent secondary bacterial infections. For chicks, increasing the brooding temperature 5°F
may help reduce losses.
 Prevention - Prevention programs should include vaccination, good sanitation, and implementation
of a comprehensive biosecurity programme.
5. DISEASES IN POULTRY

16. CHALLENGES IN POULTRY FARMING
 Lack of adequate cold storage, warehouses is the major factor affecting
poultry sector in India. Majority of the production is by unorganized
sector as backyard poultry for additional income. Increasing antibiotics
level in poultry products are creating long lasting harmful effects like
drug resistance in people. Feed cost and continuous efforts to get a
better understanding of available alternative feed ingredients. As of
right now, feed cost is probably one of the most serious challenges for
the industry.
