Poultry (/ˈpoÊŠltri/) are domesticated birds kept by humans for their eggs, their meat or their feathers. These birds square measure most usually members of the superorder Galloanserae (fowl), particularly the order Galliformes (which includes chickens, quails, and turkeys).
The breeds of chickens square measure usually classified as yankee, Mediterranean, English, and Asiatic. whereas there square measure many breeds breathing, industrial facilities have confidence solely a get few that meet the rigorous demands of commercial production. The single-comb White Leghorn, a Mediterranean breed wide used throughout the worldwide egg business, is a prolific layer that quickly reaches sexual maturity. The Cornish Cross, a hybrid of Cornish and White Rock, is one amongst the most-common breeds for industrial meat production and is honored for its compact size and fast, economical growth.
ommercial poultry feeding could be a extremely formed science that ensures a most intake of energy for growth and fat production. High-quality and well-balanced protein sources turn out a most quantity of muscle, organ, skin, and feather growth. The essential minerals turn out bones and eggs, with regarding three to four p.c of the live bird being composed of minerals and ten p.c of the egg. Calcium, phosphorus, sodium, chlorine, potassium, sulfur, manganese, iron, copper, cobalt, magnesium, and zinc are all needed. Vitamins A, C, D, E, and K and all of the B vitamins are conjointly needed. Antibiotics are wide wont to stimulate craving, management harmful bacteria, and forestall malady. For chickens, trendy rations turn out regarding zero.5 kilo (1 pound) of broiler on regarding zero.9 kilo (2 pounds) of feed and a dozen eggs from a pair of kilo (4.5 pounds) of feed.
