Backyard poultry farming is a social phenomenon rather than an economic proposition. It is popular among the communities who have no inhibition against keeping birds, eating eggs produced and the meat. Keeping the importance of backyard poultry system in rural areas the present study was undertaken to compare free range/backyard poultry rearing practices with battery cage rearing in Main Agricultural Research Station (MARS), Raichur of N-E Karnataka during 2012-13 and 2013-14 to examine productivity, economic structure, employment generation, nutritional value addition and resource recycling.Keywords

The experiment was conducted at Main Agricultural Research Station (MARS), Raichur of Karnataka to study the impact of poultry bird droppings on physico-chemical, parameters of pond ecosystem and overall production of fish. The pond was stocked with common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and integrated with broiler poultry birds (Giriraj breed) which fertilizes the pond with their excreta during rearing. No supplementary feed was given to the fish while the birds were fed with leftovers of maize, cowpea and bengal gram which are easily available commodities in rural areas. The mean dry matter loading rate of birds excreta was 64 and 65 kg/year during first and second year into the pond resulting considerable influence on physico-chemical parameters viz., dissolved oxygen, pH, alkalinity changed and plankton volume also improved considerably. These parameters in totality affect the overall fish production ranging from 114.81 to 156.56 kg during 2012-13 and 2013-14, respectively. The average bird meat produced was 2.46 to 2.56 kg/bird. The results conclude that, integration of fish with poultry birds is more sustainable and profitable than farming fish farming alone.Keywords
