ABSTRACT
Poultry is one of the world’s fastest growing meat sources. Poultry includes mainly broilers, other chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese; however, broilers account for nearly 70% of the total. This growth in the world poultry market has resulted from increased income and demand. Between 1970 and 1990, developing countries boosted poultry output nearly four times, which resulted in an increase of the world poultry meat share from 25 to 36%.
