Certificate in Poultry Farming CPF ++

Poultry Farming has been one of the most important subsidiary occupations of the farming community in India. It is a remunerative business both in rural and urban areas due to the requirement of small space, low capital investment and quick return throughout the year. It has a significant role in the eradication of malnutrition and poverty as well as eliminating un- and under-employment among the rural masses. However, due to the lack of a modern and updated method of poultry farming, the farmers are practising their own way which is unproductive and not commercially viable. The
