Poultry farming means raising various types of domestic birds commercially, like chicken, ducks, geese, quail, turkeys, pigeon, peacock, ostrich etc. for the purpose of farming meat or eggs as food and feather for various purposes. The most farmed poultry birds are chicken. About 5k million chickens are being raised every year as a source of food (both meat and eggs of chicken). The chickens which are raised for eggs are called layer chicken, and the chickens which are raised for their meat production are called broiler chickens. The UK and USA consume more meat and eggs of chicken than other countries of the world. On an average the UK alone consumes more than 29 million chicken eggs everyday. However, in a word commercial poultry farming is very necessary to meet up the demand of animal nutrition (eggs and meat). Commercial poultry farming is also very profitable.
