Abstract

There are two major poultry sub-sectors in India, viz. Commercial organized sector, which is contributing nearly 77% of poultry production and backyard unorganised sector which contributes approximately 23% of poultry production. The major challenge of providing good source of protein to the increasing population requires the breeding plan to increase productivity. Besides, research is going on developing breeds/ strains having high immune competence for adaptability of future stocks to changing farming systems and climate. For smallholder systems, creepupgrading or nucleus crossbreeding, community-based breeding programs and strategies to generate sustained replacement stocks in systems where crossbreds are the best option is being explored further. This paper mainly gives an overview of country’s poultry breeding plan currently going on, with pureline and grandparent operations primarily using improved strains in the commercial sector and low-input technology varieties developed for unorganized rural sector. The alternate species farming with ducks, geese, guinea fowl, turkey and farm-bred variety of Japanese quail alongwith information on registered indigenous breeds is also shared to give an overview of diversified poultry breeding and farming approach in the Country.
