Poultry farming in India has been a huge success in the last decade. Statistics show a 2 percent increase per annum in the agricultural production during the last 30 years, while the growth in the poultry sector has been 12 percent which gives an idea about how well this industry is doing.

The annual average growth shown by the Indian broiler industry is about 10 percent and has been characterized as steady but volatile.

This steady and effective growth is the result of the expansion in the middle class of this country and the rise in their demand for protein-rich food. Though the demand is increasing, production faces fluctuations due to factors like overproduction and avian influenza.
