Question:
What would happen if poultry birds are larger in size and have no summer adaptation capacity ? In order to get small sized poultry birds having summer adaptability, what methods will be employed?
Solution:
Larger sized birds require more feed. Summer adaptation is connected with egg laying. Little summer adaptation reduces egg laying. In order to obtain small sized poultry birds having summer adaptability, it is desirable to
1. Either introduce the required exotic birds from outside and
2. cross breed the local birds with exotic birds from outside. Small sized birds are preferred for
1. Lower requirement of feed
2. Higher egg laying capacity
3. Lower requirement for space.
