In tropical countries like Nigeria, prioritising heat-tolerant is critical.

in tropical countries like Colombia, prioritizing heat-tolerant breeds may be more profitable long-term than chasing maximum production alone.

The choice of a poultry breed depends entirely on the operational goals, as breeds are specialized for different purposes like egg production, meat production, or dual-purpose (both meat and eggs). Key factors to consider are the climate, available housing, and the specific market you aim to serve. For example, Leghorns are excellent layers, while specialized breeds like Isa Browns are chosen for commercial egg operations, and broilers are selected for fast meat growth.

The breed I choose depends on the purpose of my operation. If I focus on broiler meat production, I would choose a fast-growing commercial strain such as Cobb 500 or Ross 308 because they have excellent growth rate, FCR, and uniformity. If I focus on table eggs, I would choose a layer strain like Hy-Line Brown or Lohmann Brown for their high egg production and shell quality. And for breeding purposes, I would select Cobb or Ross parent stock to produce high-quality commercial chicks.
