Within livestock sector, poultry segment employs over 3 million people directly and indirectly. Indian poultry industry is valued at Rs.291 billion (broiler and layer), in that broiler segmentâ s value is Rs.156 billion and that of layer segment is Rs.135 billion. Poultry production in India is estimated at around 2.55 MMT of chicken meat and 53 billion eggs and thus regarded as the fourth largest producer of egg and sixth largest in chicken meat. India produces about two billion broiler birds in more than 200,000 farms hence, poultry is considered as a key contributor to the livestock sector (Kumar, 2010).
