About this ebook
Poultry farming has been in practice for over 150 million years. The origin of poultry farming can be traced to South East Asia. Charles Darwin believed that present-day hens came from the "Gallus Bankiva," which originated in a broad area of Asia extending from India to the Philippines. Now, birds such as geese, ducks, pigeons, turkey, guinea fowl, and chickens are included under the general term poultry.
Poultry is a great source of food and fiber for humans. These foods come in the form of meat and eggs. Fiber comes in the form of feathers. You see, there's an increase in the number of people participating in poultry fairs. Many people love them as pets, or for egg production. The thing is, there's a large commercial chicken industry that provides us with lots of meat and eggs.
