Abstract
Domestication of poultry is believed to have taken place between 7,000 and
10,000 years ago. Poultry keeping in India was largely a backyard venture until the 1950s
with native birds such as Aseel, Kadaknath and other non-descriptive breeds without
much attention to scientific practices. In India the scientific poultry keeping was first
initiated and advocated by Christian missionaries, by introducing exotic birds during 20th
century. The performance of these birds was certainly better than local (Deshi) fowls.
