Abstract
Nepal is an agricultural country where 68% of people are dependent upon agriculture for their livelihood (USAID, 2019). Total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contribution of Agriculture sector in Nepal is 33.7%, out of which poultry sector contributes about 3.5% of GDP (CBS, 2012). Poultry are domesticated avian species that can be raised for eggs and meat. The term “poultry” covers a wide range of birds, from indigenous and commercial breeds of chickens to muscovy ducks, mallard ducks, turkeys, guinea fowl, geese, quail, pigeons, ostriches and pheasants (FAO, 2019).
