1.2STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Poultry farming in Tanzania has become a major source of income in families in the rural areas. In earlier days, farmers used only a traditional way of farming by letting free poultry in the morning to fetch for food and later in the evening let them in the small houses for shelter. The farmers were not using vaccination or methods of treatment against diseases, but instead they slaughter and eat a poultry if seems to be weak. Currently, this situation is changing due to many efforts put in modernizing poultry farming in rural areas in Tanzania.

Poultry production accounts for the major part of all meat produced in many developing countries, and is an integral component of nearly all rural, peri-urban and urban households. Poultry are of considerable significance to rural as well as national economies and an important source of animal protein.

Poultry production systems should provide fresh air, clean feed and water, protection against predators, shelter from cold, rain, wind, sun and excessive heat; as well as a source of heat when birds are young.

    Diseases, health risks, unsanitary living conditions, and animal cruelty are just a few of the problems associated with the production of poultry products, resulting from the choices of major food corporations. On farms, typically called broilers, chickens are raised in confined farmhouses, often cramming hundreds of chickens. Forcing these animals to live in their own filth, health factors become a major concern. In the span of four to six weeks, chickens are raised in their own feces, an…

    Because number of small farms declines at a rate of 25% every year, furthermore, 80% of the chicken would be on larger farms around 1970s. Additionally, small farms are normally family-owned thus reluctant to new technologies and have limited resources and salesperson. Besides, Small farms have smaller henhouses and cannibalism in birds may not be a real concern. With these arguments and the fact, ODI can wisely exclude small farms from their marketing focus.…

    As I said before the farmers drug the animals to make the process go faster but in the end it can possibly kill or severely injure the animals. Sometimes in severe cases farmers have to cut of chickens beaks so that when the chickens get in a fight they will not kill each other with their beaks. When the animals are stuck in a stall all day they do not get to experience the outdoors or do normal animal activities. The animals get very stressed and do not produce as well as they would if they did normal animal activities.…

    In Probert 's article she discuss how chickens, turkeys, pigs, and cows are treated unjust while being kept in factory farms. These animals live less than standard conditions. Probert discusses two types of chicken that are found in these factory farms. The first type of chicken is called broilers. These chickens are the meat chicken and are kept in indoor sheds and considered to be free run. Although these chickens are not chained. Probert claims that they are kept in large numbers without much room to run. Not having space to run results in many problems. Battery hens lay eggs and are kept in cages that are as big as the size of a paper. The cages are too small to even move and this has an effect on the chickens. Turkeys are another animal that Probert identifies as being treated unfairly on the factory Farms. Turkeys are bred for their large breasts. As a result of these…

    Essay On Avian Influenza

    The changes in land use and decreased wetland access for migrating fowl may lead to larger fowl densities, flock, stress, and closer proximity to domesticated flocks. It is also suggested that the climate such as changes in temperature or increased areas suffering from drought may have an impact. Migrating fowl tend to congregate where here is more water. Another impact on the environment is the increased consumption of chicken which has tripled between 1960 and 2002 (Vandegrift, 2010). With a higher demand for poultry production, farmers have increased the number of birds on their farms. With a larger poultry population in a smaller area, there is an increased potential for easier transmission between flocks and the possibility of the virus becoming an…

    Broiler chickens, luckily for them, only live up to 7 weeks old until they are big enough to be slaughtered. Their life starts out in incubator trays with hundreds and thousands of other chicks without enough head room to stand up, and not enough room to take 2 tiny steps. So for the first week of their lives it goes from cramp trays, to cramp boxes, to getting dumped onto the filthy floors of the factory farm. They don't clean the floors from the past chickens either. As the chickens grow the walking space gets smaller and tighter for the chickens. The chickens are selectively bred and are given special drugs in the food and water to make the chickens grow incredibly fast. Because of the breeding and drugs, a lot of the chickens develop leg problems which make is sometimes impossible to walk and stand so they either can't get to the food or they can't reach the water. Also, because of the ammonia in the feces, the chickens often…

    ODI wants to focus mainly on medium and large farms which are farms with more than 10,000 chicken and they should avoid smaller farms with less than 10,000 because they are relucant to new technologies, they are family-owned, they have a declining rate and cannibalism is probably not big issue. They should focus on medium and large farms because they are professionally operated, have more employees, large transactions and problem with cannibalism is a serious issue.…

    There is no law against how poultry is treated and so they are one of the most tortured animals there is. Cows and pigs are constantly inseminated to allow there to be milk production and pigs to be slaughtered. Cow’s babies are ripped away from them to be raised to produce milk or slaughtered to be veal. They all tend to live in their filth and are subjected to infection so they need to be given antibiotics to counteract this. Because of that it causes there to be a resistance to antibiotics for humans because humans eat the animals. They are also subject to slaughter practices that are less than humane because workers are forced to work quickly so they take less care in making sure the procedures are done properly and this causes the animal to be fully conscious when being…
