Abstract
Poultry meat production has crossed 120 thousand metric tons mark today, with the introduction of newer species of birds like quail, duck and turkey in the country in addition to the chicken population already existing. There is no exact estimate as to indicate what percentage of this total is actually derived from turkey alone. However, one thing is clear that the farmers living around the cosmopolitan cities of the country are slowly realising the utility of turkey growing.
