Breeding chickens

Poultry farming is done for egg production and chicken meat. Improved poultry breeds are developed to produce layers for eggs 

and broilers for meat. 

Cross-breeding between Indian varieties like Aseel and foreign 

varieties like Leghorn is done to develop new varieties. 

For good production of poultry birds they are given proper nutrition 

and kept in hygienic conditions and proper temperature conditions. Broiler chickens are fed with vitamin, protein and fat rich feed for
