Since 1995, commercial poultry production has been growing rapidly in Bangladesh. The poultry industry serves as an additional source of income and employment in rural parts of the country. However, since the outbreak of bird flu in 2007, the viability of many farms is uncertain. This case provides an overview of the industry and its challenges, which include lack of experience in managing farms, management proper feed ratio among birds, common flus and viruses that affect birds, and the need for properly vaccinating birds. Addressing these challenges is crucial for entrepreneurs in this sector for their survival. Students are asked to evaluate some of these challenges.
Poultry meat is known as global product and it is the fastest growing component of global meat production, consumption and marketing. In the line of global market demand of poultry meat, poultry farms in Bangladesh are growing fast in recent times. Again, agriculture generated 39% of the GDP and the share of the livestock sub-sector is 2.8% (Brammer et. al., 1996). Further, with increasing population and decreasing land holdings, the poultry population is increasing at the rate of 6.5% per year (Huque & Stem, 1993). Mainly due to population growth, there is a gap between supply and demand of poultry meats and eggs. As such, a number of studies were found to have been conducted over the various aspects of this sector of economy in Bangladesh or elsewhere in the subject area. But study on “sustainable development of environment friendly commercial poultry industry in Bangladesh” seems to have attracted little attention embracing various relevant aspects of sustainable development of poultry industry in Bangladesh. The discussions made below will clearly support this assumption: Huque and Ukil (1993) studied the distribution of poultry birds according to land holdings in Bangladesh. Huque and Stem (1994) made an analysis of the current status of poultry production and marketing system of Bangladesh. Das et. al. (2007) reviewed the current status of poultry production and its future prospects in Bangladesh covering both rural and commercial poultry production. He opined that industrialists need to come forward to provide funds to universities and research works on poultry industry covering its different dimensions. Raihan and Mahmud (2008) studied the linkage between trade and poverty alleviation. They argued that the poultry sector should protect from fierce foreign competition adopting various measures like high levels of import duty, import levy and the likes. Alam (1997) identified that the poultry contributed the improvement of socio-economic status, consumption capability, empowerment, new income and employment opportunities for the poultry farmers. The review of the early works on the same subjects area in Bangladesh and else where evidence that sustainable development of environment friendly poultry industry as a whole or various aspects of sustainability in context of poultry industry was not examined in detail through research works. This research gap motivated the present researcher to undertake this study on “sustainable development of environment friendly commercial poultry industry in Bangladesh”
Poultry is a substantial contributor to food supply of Bangladesh. Many small and medium farmers are rearing poultry birds in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is considered as one of the most appropriate countries in the world for poultry rearing. Development of poultry has generated considerable employment through the production and the marketing of poultry and poultry related products. Small improvements in this industry will, in productive and economic terms, give substantial increases to the benefits of the household may obtain from poultry, measured as a relative increase of output. In real terms, output may go up to $150 per year-a small amount of money, but in a situation where total income do not exceed $476 a year, such possibilities for improvement of livelihood deserve to be pursued. The revolution in poultry industry has achieved more than 200 percent growth last 5 years though they are facing scarcity of efficient or skilled workforce, mainly because of new technology, using locally available feed ingredients, breeding, hatching and other inputs. Having such potentiality for a long time, Bangladesh could not be able to prepare her human resources for this industry. If Bangladesh will be able to do so, the human resources can contribute much more than what they are performing now. It will generate much more protein in our domestic needs. This paper aims to show the picture of the growth of poultry industry, status of existing labor or workforces and some recommendations regarding its policy matter.
The poultry industry continues to expand in the warm regions of the world at a much faster rate than in temperate zones. Not only can it be quickly and easily developed in these hot climates but poultry meat and eggs can serve as important sources of animal protein in those areas of the world that have protein insufficiency. Fully revised and updated, this new edition describes how the detrimental effects of heat stress can be reduced through the manipulation of housing, breeding, nutrition and management, and includes new contributions on controlled-environment housing, waterfowl, and breeding fast-growing broilers.

This publication is part of a series which seeks to raise awareness amongst policymakers and agricultural support services in low and middle income countries about sustainable income generation opportunities for small-scale farmers and local communities. It contains guidance on the keeping of poultry, and topics discussed include: the history of domestic poultry production, its contribution to sustainable rural livelihoods, key components of rural poultry production, diversification and intensification issues, utilisation of poultry products. It includes examples of case studies of poultry production schemes in Bangladesh, South Africa, Guatemala, Cambodia and the Philippines.
This technical guide seeks to promote sustainable small-scale, family-based poultry production, by reviewing all aspects of small-scale poultry production in developing countries. It includes sections on feeding and nutrition, housing, general husbandry and flocks health, regional differences in health practices.
