2. INTRODUCTION Broiler poultry farming is the process of raising chickens for meat production. These chickens are specially bred to grow fast and gain body weight in a short period—usually within 5 to 6 weeks. The most commonly used broiler breed is the Cobb 500, which is popular for its rapid growth, good feed conversion, and high meat quality. Broiler farming is one of the fastest-growing agribusinesses in India, especially in rural areas. It requires less land, less time, and gives high returns, making it suitable for small and medium farmers. With proper care, feeding, and management, broiler poultry farming can generate a good income in a short period.

11. 4. RESULT AND DISCUSSION Broiler poultry farming in Kamsagara village represents a structured and semi-modern approach to rural entrepreneurship. Farmers rear primarily Cobb broilers due to their rapid growth, efficient feed conversion, and good meat yield. Over the years, the community has developed locally adapted practices while gradually incorporating modern technologies and inputs from private companies and government schemes. Feeding and Nutrition Feed is the most critical factor influencing broiler performance. In Kamsagara , phased feeding is adopted using commercial feeds—pre-starter (0–10 days), starter (11–21 days), and finisher (22 days onwards). Feed consumption per bird is about 4.5 to 5 kg over the rearing cycle, resulting in a feed conversion ratio (FCR) of 1.7 to 1.9. These figures are consistent with performance benchmarks outlined in the Cobb Broiler Management Guide (2023).

12. 5. CONCLUSION Broiler poultry farming is a profitable and fast-growing sector in rural areas like Kamsagara village, Kadur Taluk . With proper housing, feeding, health care, and biosecurity practices, farmers can successfully rear broilers and earn good income in short production cycles of 5 to 6 weeks. Scientific management of 5000 chicks—through controlled temperature, balanced nutrition, disease prevention, and clean water—leads to healthy growth, better feed conversion, and reduced mortality. Moreover, the availability of local resources, labor, and access to markets makes broiler farming a sustainable livelihood option. However, challenges such as rising feed costs, disease risks, and water management must be addressed through regular monitoring and updated practices. Overall, broiler poultry farming, when managed effectively, can contribute significantly to rural development, food security, and employment generation.
