Egg Production

Egg farming involves raising domesticated birds (mainly chickens, ducks, turkeys, and geese) for meat and egg production. The farming methods vary based on the scale and purpose of production.

Types of Poultry Farming:
  • Broiler Farming: Raising chickens for meat (harvested at 6-8 weeks).
  • Layer Farming: Raising hens for egg production (starts at 18-20 weeks).
  • Free-Range Farming: Birds roam freely and forage naturally.
  • Organic Poultry Farming: Birds are fed organic feed without synthetic additives.
  • Cage & Battery Farming: Intensive system where birds are kept in cages to maximize efficiency.
