Expediency of returning to the extensive poultry industry in the production of organic products

Abstract

Poultry farming is one of the most technologically advanced and efficient sectors of the agricultural sector, which today ensures food security for a large part of the world's population. Analysing the dynamics of the poultry industry, it should be noted that poultry farming for meat, eggs and feathers has been the main source of food production since the advent of agriculture. Historically, human activity of raising poultry on backyard plots for personal consumption was widespread throughout the world. However, over time, systems have been industrialised and intensified to the level of industrial poultry production to meet growing market demand for meat or eggs.
