The Backyard poultry farming is an age-old practice in India and plays an important role to reduce poverty among the most under privileged sections of the Jammu & Kashmir, particularly in far flung areas of rural J&K, India. There is not any specific arrangement required for backyard poultry farming and is mostly popular in backward and resource-deprived areas of J&K and provides rural families with good source of income, healthy food sources in terms of meat and eggs. Backyard poultry farming alleviates women status in rural society and provide employment to rural people and also reduces the demand and supply gap of poultry products viz meat and eggs. Significant limitations of backyard poultry farming in J&K are high death rate in chicks because of a frequent disease outbreaks, absence of framework, lower potential of desi chickens, absence of scientific information, predation, hunger, climate change and fluctuating feed supply and price all throughout year. Being the best option for the marginal and small farmers of J&K to their backup salary with very small input this farming needs an upliftment. However, Government of J&K has launched 29 projects under Holistic Agriculture Development Programme (HADP) in which P25 is exclusively for poultry development in J&K. Backyard poultry farming results in socio-economic development, nutritional and livelihood security, empowerment of women etc. among rural people. Birds are kept mostly on scavenging system, where they acquire their feeds through natural foraging, kitchen wastes etc. Rural poultry farming has been responsible to produce 40 per cent meat and 44 per cent egg requirement in J&K. Chicken eggs and meat are the only cheapest and best sources of protein, vitamin and minerals with high biological value for rural poor and marginal sections of people. The additional income earned from indigenous chicken farming has improved their socio-economy stability.
