poultry breeding programs

Poultry breeding programs involve carefully selecting parent birds to enhance desirable traits in future generations, such as growth rate, egg production, disease resistance, and feather quality. By choosing the best breeders and controlling mating, these programs aim to improve the overall quality, productivity, and efficiency of poultry flocks. The process includes evaluating bird characteristics, maintaining genetic diversity, and sometimes using advanced techniques like genetic testing. The goal is to develop stronger, healthier birds that meet specific production needs, ensuring consistent quality and sustainability in poultry farming.
