Description Poultry production is the fastest growing sector of Indian agriculture having long history of backyard farming. It has been transformed into a full-fledged industry in order to cope with the higher demands for valuable animal proteins (eggs and poultrymeat) by an ever increasing human population. Even though India has emerged as the fourth and fifth largest producer of eggs and poultry meat, respectively in the world, the per capita availability is just 40 eggs and 1.2 kg poultry meat as against the ICMR (1995) recommendations of 180 eggs and 11 kgs of poultry meat (Johri and Shrivastava, 2005).

Importance of backyard poultry production has been globally recognized to overcome some of the worsening problems like poverty, hunger and malnutrition in developing countries especially in India (Singh, 2002). But however, the rural small-scale poultry, mainly managed by women (Aparna Kolte and Swaroopa Rani, 2008) is confined to the economically weaker and tribal people who rear the birds under traditional scavenging system. Backyard poultry production system involves no expenditure for chicks, feed and medicine including vaccine. That apart, the backyard rearing is within the reach of an ordinary farmer who with minimal input canmanage independently, skillfully and successfully.
