Egg and Broiler Production
- Broiler chickens are fed vitamin-rich supplementary feed for faster growth and better feed efficiency
- Good carcass quality is important
- Broilers are sent to market for meat
- Good poultry bird production requires temperature, hygienic housing, feed and disease prevention
Fish Production
- Fish is a cheap source of animal protein.
- Fish production includes finned fish and shellfish (prawns, molluscs)
- Fish can be obtained via capture fishing (natural resources) or culture fishing (fish farming)
- Water source can be either seawater or freshwater (rivers, ponds)
