Step-by-Step Guide to Desi Poultry Farming

1. Planning & Breed Selection

Choose hardy desi breeds (Kadaknath, Aseel, Nirbhik, Gramapriya).

Consider egg vs. meat demand in your area.

Desi breeds fetch higher prices due to taste, nutrition, and medicinal value.

2. Housing & Infrastructure

Options: Free-range, semi-intensive, or protected housing.

Provide:

Ventilation and sunlight

Predator-proof fencing (dogs, snakes, mongoose)

Dry flooring with litter (paddy husk, sawdust)

Protected setups are safer than open free-range in rural areas.

3. Feeding & Nutrition

Balanced diet: grains (maize, bajra), protein (soybean, groundnut cake), greens, and minerals.

Supplement with kitchen waste, vegetables, and insects for natural immunity.

Ensure clean drinking water at all times.

4. Health & Biosecurity

Vaccinations: Ranikhet, Marek’s, Fowl Pox.

Deworming every 3–4 months.

Maintain hygiene: disinfect housing, avoid overcrowding.

Isolate sick birds immediately.

5. Breeding & Egg Production

Desi hens start laying at 5–6 months.

Average: 120–200 eggs/year depending on breed.

Eggs are smaller but fetch premium prices in local markets.

6. Marketing & Sales

Target niche markets: organic stores, local mandis, restaurants.

Sell live birds, dressed meat, or eggs.

Highlight “desi” branding—chemical-free, natural rearing.

Kadaknath and Aseel meat can sell at 2–3x the price of broiler chicken.

7. Profitability & Challenges

Advantages: Low investment, hardy breeds, high demand.

Challenges: Slower growth vs. broilers, predator risks, disease outbreaks.

Profit improves with proper breed selection and direct marketing.
