Poultry Industry

The poultry industry involves the breeding and raising of birds, primarily chickens, ducks, and turkeys, for food production, specifically meat and eggs. It plays a vital role in global food supply, providing a source of protein that is generally more affordable and accessible than other meats. The industry encompasses various stages, from hatcheries where eggs are incubated to farms where birds are grown, and processing plants where they are prepared for sale. Environmental and animal welfare concerns are increasingly influencing practices within the industry, leading to innovations aimed at sustainability and humane treatment.
