In the present study found that constraints in terms of marketing of chicks, non-remunerative price was the main constraints followed by transportation problem, Disease attacked time rumor regarding price fluctuation and late payment. A constraint faced by the farmers in production of chicken water scarcity is the main problem followed by high temperature, mortality problem, availability of labour and feed. Among the Social and natural problems outbreaks of disease was the main problem followed by predator animal likes cats, dog, and pollution of environment. The broiler farming is a profitable venture and has a bright future in the study area of Perambalur district of Tamil Nadu for reducing the constraints faced by the poultry farming community.
