Information From The First INFPD/ FAO Electronic Conference On Family Poultry 7 December1998 - July 1999

Abstract

Family poultry comprises extensive and small-scale, intensive poultry production and is still important in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the South Pacific. This is merely a working definition and there are very many exceptions. For example, Aini (1990) has reported large-scale production of indigenous chickens (Ayam kampung) by means of the extensive system in Malaysia.
