Native chicken is the only source to supply 100% of the total chicken
meat requirement of more than 50 per cent of rural farming community
of A&N Islands. Desi birds including Nicobari fowls comprising of native
chicken production at backyard level contribute significantly to nutritional
security of islands’ farming community. As per the 19th census (DAHVS,
2012), the total indigenous poultry population in A&N Islands has been
estimated to 10,58,400 that is 98% of the total 10,80,000 poultry
population of these Islands. In view of changing climatic scenario, due
importance is thrust upon the conservation and propagation of native
poultry germplasms. The population of native Nicobari fowl is on the
declining trend. The native poultry production, being integral component
in the nutritional security,must be improved by studying the various
bottlenecks present in the rural poultry production system in these Islands.
Hence, knowledge onhousing, feeding and health management of native
indigenous Nicobari fowl for the improvement of native poultry breeds and
their conservation for future use on community basis should be given due
concern.
