Besides being rich in protein, poultry meat is good source of phosphorus and other minerals, and of B-complex vitamins. It contains less fat than most cuts of beef and pork. Poultry meat is low in harmful trans fats, but high in beneficial monounsaturated fats – which make up about half of the total.

Sustainable poultry production enhances environmental health by reducing waste and minimizing resource consumption, leading to lower carbon footprints. It promotes animal welfare through better living conditions and humane treatment. Economically, it can increase profitability by optimizing resource use and reducing costs associated with feed and health management. Additionally, sustainable practices can improve food security by ensuring a reliable supply of healthy poultry products for communities.Sustainable poultry production enhances environmental health by reducing waste and minimizing resource consumption, leading to lower carbon footprints.
