Pages : 228
Year of Publication : 2026

The book begins with the basics—common terminology, scientific classification of poultry birds, and the evolution of the Indian poultry industry. It also traces policy initiatives and developmental milestones under different Five-Year Plans, highlighting how the sector has transformed from backyard rearing to organized commercial enterprises. Detailed chapters cover every critical aspect of poultry farming: breeding management, reproductive system and egg formation, incubation and hatching, housing, brooding, and chick rearing. Special emphasis is given to species-specific farming systems, including ducks, quails, and turkeys, which add diversity and economic potential to poultry production. Biosecurity and health care management, feeding and nutrition, and farm economics are presented in a clear and practical way, enabling readers to plan and manage flocks efficiently and profitably. With a balanced focus on scientific principles and field-level practices, this book is designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students of animal husbandry and veterinary sciences, extension professionals, and aspiring poultry entrepreneurs. It will also serve as a valuable guide for farmers seeking to improve productivity, sustainability, and profitability in poultry farming.
