National Poultry Day

Poultry refers to domesticated birds that are raised for their meat, eggs, or feathers. Common types of poultry include chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, and quail. Poultry is a popular source of protein and is consumed all around the world. Chicken is the most commonly consumed type of poultry, followed by turkey. Poultry can be prepared in many ways, including roasting, grilling, frying, and baking. It is often used in a variety of dishes, such as soups, stews, salads, sandwiches, and curries. In addition to their meat and eggs, poultry can also provide other products such as feathers, which are used in clothing and decorations, and chicken manure, which is used as fertilizer. Poultry farming is a major industry, with millions of birds being raised for consumption each year. The industry has come under scrutiny in recent years due to concerns about animal welfare, environmental impact, and the use of antibiotics and hormones. Many consumers now seek out organic or free-range poultry products that are produced in a more sustainable and ethical way.
