Desk Report: Commercial poultry production has been growing rapidly in Bangladesh since early 1990 by using improved genetics, manufactured feeds and management. This dramatic growth of poultry farms throughout the country has taken place without judging feasibility of the farm in the area. This improvement is done mainly in the private sector as a device for additional source of income and employment opportunities particularly in rural area. This process has been influenced by the programs of different NGOs and the public sector. Poultry refers to domestic birds that produce eggs, meat, manure and feathers that can be used or treated by their owners. But in this paper only chicken is considered. Two types of chicken have been reared, one for egg and another for meat. In general, poultry provide animal protein in the form of meat and eggs. Indigenous chicken is widely reared throughout the country by rural people since time immemorial.
