TAILIEUCHUNG - The poultry industry in India

Poultry manure is produced during the normal operation of hatcheries, broiler production and egg laying production. It also occurs in turkey and waterfowl production. Since a majority of poultry manure is produced in broiler and layer operations, special attention will be paid to these two specific parts of the poultry industry. There is a basic difference in the set-up of layer and broiler operations which leads to a difference in the type of litter produced. Caged systems are used mostly for laying operations but their use is growing in the broiler industry as well. In the laying systems, each cage contains 1-25 birds. | 1 The poultry industry in India Rajesh Mehta1 and .

While agricultural production has been rising at the rate around 2 percent per annum over the past two to three decades poultry production has been rising at the rate of around 8 percent per annum with an annual turnover of US 7 500 million. This paper seeks to capture the dynamics of the industry over the more recent past. Utilizing production price and export data from the period 1995 to 2004 the study seeks to a examine the trends and features of development in Indian poultry over the last ten years or so b identify forces that are driving these changes c predict the structure of developments in the poultry sector over the next ten or fifteen years and trace its consequences for income employment public health environmental pollution animal wealth etc. and d shed some light on how smallholders are likely to be affected by the ongoing structural changes . whether it will seriously undermine their competitiveness and if so what are the options available. The analysis shows a sharp jump in India s egg and poultry meat production. Poultry meat has outpaced its two major competitors - beef and veal and buffalo meat. Another major development in Indian poultry production is the spread of integration which is occurring very rapidly especially in broiler production both in southern and western parts of India. The forces that are sustaining this growth are many. High per capita income growth and relatively low prices have played a catalytic role. A moderate shift in the consumption pattern from vegetarianism to non-vegetarianism is also helping the industry by increasing the demand for poultry products. The future outlook for
