Poultry Farming in Rural Egypt

Discussion The purpose of this survey is to explain the current poultry production and sales system in the rural area of ​​Gharbiya in Egypt, and policy makers will develop effective and appropriate disease monitoring and management strategies according to local customs and circumstances It is to be able to design and implement. Area As can be seen from this result, households with 80% or more of the surveyed population have poultry, most of which simultaneously breed multiple species simultaneously. Keeping multiple poultry in the same place is usually asymptomatic in ducks and geese and is a risk factor for many poultry diseases such as HPAI H5N1 which may silently spread to others.

Poultry agriculture is one of the major forms of agriculture practiced in Nigeria and many other countries around the world. We provide high-income employment to many people in rural and urban areas. For example, in the United States, "The average net income of poultry farmers can range from $ 13,900 per year to over $ 20,000 per year" (Poetry Farmers Job Description, 2010). In addition, poultry farming contributes to the gross domestic product of many countries. According to our survey, we have found that poultry produces about 27% of the share of livestock share in Nigeria's gross domestic product (GDP). "The proportion of poultry eggs and meat in GDP has increased from 26% in 1999 to 27%" (Ojo, 2003).

Poultry is the process of breeding poultry such as chickens, ducks, turkeys, goose, etc. for the purpose of eating meat and eggs. Poultry - mainly chickens - are grown in large quantities. Whether it is meat or egg, farmers keep more than 50 billion chickens annually as a source of food. Chickens raised for eggs are often called layers, and chickens raised for meat are often called broilers. According to researchers and scientists, 74% of poultry meat and 68% of eggs in the world are produced in a "strengthened" way. An alternative to enhanced poultry breeding is the use of lower breeding density for free breeding. Poultry producers usually use approved drugs such as antibiotics for feed or drinking water to treat diseases and prevent the occurrence of disease. Several FDA approved drugs are also approved for improving feed use
