The aim of poultry farming is to raise domestic fowls to produce eggs and chicken. For this, the fowls are given animal feeds in the form of roughage, which mainly consists of fibres. Thus, by feeding animals a fibre rich diet (along with adequate fat), the poultry gives highly nutritious animal protein food in the form of eggs and chicken. In India, no other reared animal is able to provide such large amounts of protein rich food with a diet of such low fibre food stuff.
