Abstract

Backyard poultry farming is especially popular in rural and resource-poor areas of India, where it provides money, nutritionally rich food sources (meat and eggs), employs women and jobless youth, and bridges the demandsupply gap for poultry eggs and meat. There is little infrastructure required for backyard poultry farming, and it is readily managed by women, elderly family members, and children. Poultry eggs and meat are the greatest and cheapest forms of protein that are readily available to meet the protein needs of rural Indians. This study examined the potential for chicken production in Lucknow, India. The Desi chicken used in the study was one that was present in the flocks of many Lucknow locales. Data were gathered using a standardised questionnaire, formal and informal interviews, and focus group discussions with local livestock keepers. 360 individuals were interviewed, with men making up 21% of the total and women making up the remaining 79%. The entire family was in charge of managing the chickens in 79% of the families; however, in 38% of the homes, only women were involved, and in 9% of the homes, only men were. Since the majority (66.6%) completed primary and secondary education, their literacy level was high.
