It helps to improve soil fertility, provides draught power, and produces food and fiber. Animal husbandry also helps to improve the economic condition of rural people.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Impact_of_Animal_Husbandry_On_Environment\"><\/span>Impact of Animal Husbandry On Environment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Animal husbandry is the process of breeding and raising livestock. Livestock are domesticated animals that are raised for their meat, milk, eggs, or hides. Animal husbandry has a significant impact on the environment.<\/li>\n<li>Livestock farming is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. Livestock farming accounts for 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, which is more than the emissions from all the cars, trains, planes, and ships in the world combined. Livestock farming is the leading cause of deforestation, and it is a major contributor to air and water pollution.<\/li>\n<li>Livestock farming also adversely impacts the environment in other ways. For example, livestock farming can cause soil erosion, lead to the depletion of water resources, and create toxic run-off. In addition, livestock farming can have a negative impact on local ecosystems and biodiversity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Poultry_Farming\"><\/span>Poultry Farming<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Poultry farming is the process of breeding and raising domesticated birds such as chickens, ducks, turkeys and geese for the purpose of meat or eggs. Commercial poultry farming has become a major industry in many countries and produces large quantities of poultry meat and eggs for human consumption.<\/li>\n<li>The modern poultry industry is based on the use of high-yielding hybrids, which are selected for their ability to convert feed into meat or eggs quickly. Broilers (meat chickens) and layers (egg-laying hens) are the two main types of poultry that are raised in large numbers by poultry farmers.<\/li>\n<li>Broilers are bred and raised specifically for meat production and are usually slaughtered at around six weeks of age. Layers are bred and raised for egg production and can lay eggs for up to three years. In addition to meat chickens and egg-laying hens, poultry farmers also breed and raise turkeys and geese for meat or eggs.<\/li>\n<li>The poultry industry is a major user of antibiotics, which are used to prevent and treat disease in the birds. In some countries, antibiotics are also used to promote growth in the animals. The use of antibiotics in poultry farming has raised concerns about the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Poultry_Farming_Business\"><\/span>Benefits of Poultry Farming Business<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several benefits to poultry farming businesses. One of the most obvious benefits is the financial gain that can be made. Poultry farming businesses can be profitable if done correctly. In addition to the financial gain, poultry farming businesses provide a source of fresh, healthy meat for consumers. Poultry farming businesses can also help to create jobs in rural areas.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Some_of_the_Importance_of_the_Poultry_Farming_Business_are_Listed_Below\"><\/span>Some of the Importance of the Poultry Farming Business are Listed Below<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Poultry farming is a major source of income for many small-scale farmers and rural families.<\/li>\n<li> Poultry farming is a major source of food for many people.<\/li>\n<li>Poultry farming is a major source of employment for many people.<\/li>\n<li>Poultry farming is a major source of revenue for many businesses.<\/li>\n<li>Poultry farming is a major source of protein for many people.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction to Animal Husbandry Animal husbandry is the branch of agriculture that deals with the care and breeding of livestock.
