Erasmus (2011:11) and SAPA (2012:10) indicate several reasons why poultry farming would be considered a swift way of attempting to alleviate rural poverty:

It is a type of farming of which most rural people will have some knowledge.

A considerably short time is required from the time of inception of project to the time when a farmer is able to sell some produce. Broilers can be sold for meat after six weeks if they are reared under optimal conditions.

A relatively small amount of capital is required for starting out compared with the rearing of cattle, for instance. As few as 50 poultry can significantly change the livelihood of a poor rural dweller.

No hired labour is required for such an endeavour. Family labour is usually sufficient.

1.7 kg of grain-based feed is required to produce 1 kg of poultry since poultry do not eat a lot of food. In contrast, 5.5 kg of feed is required to produce 1 kg of beef.

Poultry production continues to show a growing trend locally and internationally, outperforming other protein sources, such as beef and pork.

"Each year, farmers go on a journey from planning, to planting, to growing, and finally harvesting their crops. Each season has its own story, and that’s where the magic happens."

The info in an organism’s genes provides a biological blueprint for its appearance, function and survival and largely defines its similarities & differences with other organisms. The genetics of livestock are therefore a critical factor influencing animal production & health.
