Discuss the implications of the following statement: “It is interesting to note that poultry is India’s most efficient converter of low fibre food stuff into highly nutritious animal protein food.”
The basic aim of poultry farming is to raise domestic fowl for egg production and chicken meat. These poultry birds are not only the efficient converters of agricultural by-products, particularly cheaper fibrous wastes (which is unfit for human consumption but can be formulated into cheaper diets for poultry birds) into high quality meat but also help in providing eggs, feathers and nutrient rich manure. For this reason, it is said that, “poultry is India’s most efficient converter of low fibre food stuff into highly nutritious animal protein food.”
