Poultry Farming

As per available reports about 80 Open access articles 153 Conference Proceedings, 4 Upcoming Conferences are presently dedicated exclusively to Poultry Farming and about 65 symposiums. Poultry farming is the raising of domesticated birds such as chickens, ducks, turkeys and geese for the purpose of farming meat or eggs for food.

Poultry are farmed in great numbers with chickens being the most numerous. According to the World Watch Institute, 74 percent of the world's poultry meat, and 68 percent of eggs are produced in ways that are described as 'intensive'. One alternative to intensive poultry farming is free-range farming using lower stocking densities. All seasons at a lower cost than free-range production. Poultry producers routinely use nationally approved medications, such as antibiotics, in feed or drinking water, to treat disease or to prevent disease outbreaks. Some FDA-approved medications are also approved for improved feed utilization.

OMICS International Organizes 1000+ Global Events every year across USA, Europe and Asia with support from 1000 more Scientific Societies and Publishes 700+  Open Access Journals which contains over 100000 eminent personalities, reputed scientists as editorial board and organizing committee members. The Conference Series website will provide you list and details about the conferences organized across the globe.

Scope and Global Impact:

Globally, production of the primary poultry products (meat and eggs) has been rising rapidly. This reflects consumption based, in turn, on consumer preference for these high-quality products and the relatively low price because of efficiency of production. Over a 10-yr period between 1995 and 2005, consumption, and hence production, has increased globally (percentage increase) for chicken meat (53%), turkey meat (13%), duck meat (67%), goose meat (53%), chicken eggs (39%), and other eggs (27%). Among the largest increases in the production of chicken meat in the top-producing countries were those in India (217%), China (67%), and Brazil (112%). One of the greatest percentage increases (136%) was achieved in Vietnam (from 0.14 million metric tons in 1995 to 0.32 million metric tons in 2005). The increase in chicken meat production in the United States was 38% over the 10-yr period. This is similar to that for the aggregate for Europe (30%, from 8.75 million metric tons in 1995 to 11.4 million metric tons in 2005) with, for instance, the Russian Federation exhibiting a 40% increase (going from 0.69 million metric tons in 1995 to 0.96 million metric tons in 2005). Globally, total egg production is 78% (by weight) of poultry meat production, with China being the major producing nation. Egg production is growing rapidly (39% over 10 yr) with Asian countries in particular having high rates of increase (e.g., China and India with increases of 42 and 67%, respectively). Despite the increased concerns regarding welfare, the aggregate production of chicken eggs in Europe has increased by 6% from 9.4 million metric tons in 1995 to 10.0 million metric tons in 2005. A breakdown of this data reveals that the main contributions to growth over 2012 will come from increases of almost 400,000 tonnes and 350,000 tonnes in the US and China respectively, some 260,000 tonnes in India and nearly 200,000 tonnes in Brazil.
