Description Development of organized poultry has marked the contribution of backyard or household poultry
in rural areas of Telangana where rural poultry constitutes about 27% of the total poultry
population. In order to improve nutrient availability of poor households in rural areas of
Vikarabad district, Telangana, low input technology backyard poultry farming using Srinidhi
breed was introduced under Farmer FIRST Programme for supplementing the earnings of poor
farmers and landless labourers. The nutritional status pre-and post-intervention was assessed and
as per the production and reproduction performance data obtained on Srinidhi poultry, their role
in reducing the nutritional deficiency in the area was demonstrated to the farmers. The study
revealed significant higher production performances of Srinidhi variety over the indigenous
poultry birds and has a better support system to livelihood and nutritional security under
backyard poultry production in the dryland region.
