Scheme No. 3 - Poultry Development

The Scheme aims to promote the backyard poultry farming among the people by introducing the low input technology poultry birds for increasing the production of eggs and poultry meat in the State.

Poultry is an important sector of Animal Husbandry. Though poultry development in the country has taken a quantum leap in the last three decades, the growth has been mainly restricted to commercial poultry. Rural backyard poultry, though still contributing nearly 30% to the national egg production, is the most neglected one. This is, in spite of the fact that the poultry eggs and meat produced from backyard poultry farming fetch a much higher price than that from commercial poultry. Most of the poultry products and eggs are consumed in urban and semi urban areas and the rural consumption is quite low.

Backyard poultry requiring hardly any infrastructure set-up is a potent tool for upliftment of poorest of the poor. Besides income generation, Rural backyard poultry provides nutrition supplementation in the form of valuable animal protein and empowers women. It has also been noticed that the demand for rural backyard poultry is quite high in tribal areas.
