Poultry Farms in UAE

Poultry Farms

A Poultry farm is a place where domestic birds like chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys are raised. Poultry farming is the process of raising these birds, which are used to acquire poultry produce like eggs and meat. Out of all domestic birds that are farmed, chickens are the most common source for both eggs and meat. Poultry farms deal with produce on a large scale, raising around 50 billion chickens for produce globally each year. The birds in these farms are generally of two types, layers and broilers. Layers are raised for one purpose only, which is to lay eggs. Broilers, on the other hand, are raised for their meat.

Poultry farms that deal with eggs and raise layer chickens are of several types, based on the way the birds are raised and produce is acquired. Out of these many types, free range, yarding and battery cage farms are the most common. Free range farms are where the birds are allowed to roam free for most of the time and are fed in the open outdoors. However, the birds are confined to a shed at night, to protect them from predators and bad weather. Battery cage farms are designed with modern housing steel cages, with a sloped wire mesh base. This mesh base leads to a conveyor belt that transports eggs that the birds lay to a collection point. These sheds have huge storage capacities, capable of housing hundreds to a few thousand birds.

Governed by strict rules in place with regard to the use of chemicals, each poultry farm in UAE offers healthy produce in and around the UAE and the Middle East. Located at places like Salam Street in Abu Dhabi and Al Saad in Al Ain are some of the most trusted standard and organic poultry farms in UAE.
