Abstract
Poultry farming in India was a backyard practice till 1970 and now
it has made rapid strides and transformed itself to become increasingly
specialized and integrated agribusiness to meet the increasing demand
for human food production and contributing its part to National GDP. At
present, India stands 4^^ among the world’s egg producing countries,
with an increase from meager 1800 million eggs during 1960 to 40,000
million in 2004 (FAO 2004). Such a commendable achievement was
possible largely due to concerted efforts of several poultry entrepreneurs,
including geneticists and nutritionists. Chicken is one of the best , feed
converting livestock among the food animals and also low space
requirement involved in their production have significantly contributed
towards the phenomenal growth of the poultry sector. But stiU there is a
wide gap between recommendation (180 per annum ICMR) and the
present per capita consumption level of eggs (48 eggs per annum) with
an eventual provision of tremendous scope for growth of poultry industry
especially that of layers.
