Prospects of poultry farming in Punjab

摘要

The agricultural production has reached its plateau and there is not much scope of further improvement unless we increase the soil fertility and water resources that are costly inputs. Therefore, the adoption of mixed farming is the solution for raising the economic status of the farmers. Mixed farming ensures judicious utilization of resources for agriculture. In Punjab, the poultry industry has come a long way and it has emerged from backyard poultry to vertically integrated and organized commercial units of broiler & layer birds.
