Poultry Farming describes that Poultry science is the study of principles and practices involved in the production and marketing of poultry and its products. Poultry farming is raising chickens, turkeys, ducks and other fowl for meat or eggs. Poultry farms can be:

History

The poultry production commenced in Pakistan in 1963. Poultry as on a commercial scale in the private sector started due to pioneering effect made by PIA (Pakistan International Airline) in 1965, when the first modern hatchery unit in Karachi was established. Later on, the investments have taken keen interest in this sector, as was result of which substantial development has taken place towards expansion of this industry. The commercial poultry farming emerged through the combined efforts and foresight of the government and the private enterprises. Now commercial poultry production is concentrated around the large urban centers in the provinces of Sindh and Punjab and initially at Karachi, Lahore with the passage of time, it is now fairly well spread all over the country. Hen birds were mostly maintained in the backyard of the houses in villages on a small scale, with very little investment by the villagers in terms of money and material. The return on those birds was too little, and there was hardly any attraction for investments to operate the same on large scales.

    Monica Gisolfi's “From Crop Lien to Contract Farming...” uses a case study of Upcountry County, Georgia to examine how poultry farming replaced cotton as the mono-crop of the South. Like sharecropping, it put farmers in debt by putting the bulk of burden and cost on the worker. According to Gisolfi, a major problem with “King Cotton” was the crop lien and the related sharecropping and tenant farming practices. In spite of farmer expectations, the poultry industry failed to solve these issues, instead it created a far more expensive system of debt and top down profiteering. Her article is spent outlining the parallels between the two and concludes with a dismal portrait of the current poultry industry: a skewed ratio of few benefactors reaping…

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).
