Introduction

The term poultry refers to domestic birds reared by man for their various economic and other purposes. Examples of domestic birds according to Gillespie (1999) and Iwena (2006) include; Chickens (Gallus Domesticus), Turkeys (Maleagris Gallopavo), Ducks (Anas Boncher), Geese (Anser Anser), Guinea fowls (Numida Maleagris).

Poultry in the opinion of Smith (1999) originated from red Jungle Fowls (Gallus Gallus) of south East Asia which is thought to be the sole ancestors of present breeds of domestic birds.

Hornby (2001) also identified poultry as domestic birds kept in the farm for the purpose of meat (Chicken) and egg production, among other useful products. Olaitan and Omomia (2006) explained that poultry refer to all avian species reared for their various economic purposes.

They further identified three major breeds of poultry which includes: broilers (table-meat producer), layers (table-egg producers) and the dual purpose breeds, reared for the purpose of both egg and meat production.

However, Uguru (2003) noted that of all the species of poultry domesticated by man, domestic fowls are the most populous and most important in Nigeria. Continuing, the author said that in Nigeria, domestic birds are kept for various reasons which may include social, economic and cultural values.
