Description

The sustainable and all-encompassing method of growing chickens that puts an emphasis on human health, environmental sustainability, and animal welfare is known as organic poultry farming. We will examine the essential ideas, advantages, and difficulties of raising organic poultry in this chapter. 1.1 What is farming poultry organically? Raising chickens, ducks, turkeys, and other poultry species in conformity with organic standards and principles is known as organic poultry farming. The use of synthetic chemicals, antibiotics, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and other artificial inputs in the manufacturing process is usually prohibited by these regulations. Rather, to enhance the health and welfare of their birds, organic poultry producers depend on natural and organic means. 1.2 Organic Poultry Farming Principles Several fundamental ideas underpin organic chicken farming: 1.2.1 Care for Animals: For organic poultry producers, the well-being, comfort, and instinctive behavior of their birds come first. They provide the flock plenty of room to roam about, access to the outside world, and hygienic living arrangements to guarantee their wellbeing. 1.2.2 Care of the Environment: The focus of organic poultry production is on environmentally friendly, sustainable methods. This entails lowering pollution, preserving resources, and fostering biodiversity in the agricultural setting. 1.2.3 Organic Sources: To maintain the health and immunity of their birds, organic chicken producers employ natural inputs including probiotics, herbal supplements, and organic feed. They stay away from using growth accelerators, herbicides, and artificial chemicals. 1.3 Advantages of Raising Organic Poultry There are several advantages to raising chickens organically for customers, farmers, and the environment. 1.3.1 Product Healthier: Because organic chicken products don't include artificial chemicals or antibiotics, eating them is safer and healthier. Additionally, they often include greater levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids among other nutrients. 1.3.2 Preservation of the Environment: Soil, water, and air quality are protected by organic poultry farming, which prioritizes sustainable techniques. It encourages biodiversity on the farm and lessens the need for chemical inputs. 1.3.3 Care for Animals: Birds raised at organic chicken farms are given a more compassionate and natural environment, which reduces stress and enables them to display their natural behaviors. 1.3.4 Need in the Market: The market for organic poultry products is expanding as a result of increased consumer knowledge of the advantages organic goods provide for their health and the environment. Farmers of organic poultry now have the chance to sell their produce at exclusive marketplaces and for a higher price.
