Abstract: Poultry raising on scientific and commercial lines is relatively new to Pakistan, indeed, to the whole of the Sub-continent. In undivided India village farmers used to keep some fowls which were produced on primitive methods of natural hatching under the broody hen and reared on garbage dumps, leftover meals, and mixed grain, which involved almost no financial investment. No special care was taken to prepare poultry feed or arrange for poultry health and hygiene. The basic idea of such part-time farming was to augment one's income from the sale of eggs and birds.
