“…Among the top 20 journals that are relevant in researches on village chicken production and food security include Tropical Animal Health and Production and Food Security journals with H_index of 4 and 3, respectively. These journals are well known in promoting research studies related to livestock and food production with respect to improving food production and security [ 1 , 14 , 16 ]. More journals should be encouraged to make calls like the United Nations and the Food and Agricultural Organization [ 22 , 59 ] on topical issues and researches related to promoting studies that will enhance livestock production and food security due to the global threat/challenges of hunger and poverty by vulnerable people.…”

Background The present study aimed to reveal outputs of research works on village chicken production as a tool to combat food insecurity, taking into account the recurring challenge posed by food shortage and high rise in hunger among vulnerable people of several countries. Results On aggregate, 104 publications were obtained in a BibTeX design for analysis using bibliometric package in R studio. The obtained data comprised, but not limited to authors, citations, institutions, key words and journals. Published articles on village chicken production with relation to food security retrieved from web of science (WOS) and Scopus data banks were utilized with a rise in research publications of a yearly growth of 12.93% during the study period. With regard to country, USA was ranked first with an aggregate sum of publications (n = 16), and a huge global academic influence with most top article citations (n = 509). The frequently used authors’ keywords in this studied research area were food security (n = 23), poultry (n = 9), chickens (n = 7), backyard poultry (n = 5), gender (n = 4), which all together created a hint on related studies on village chicken production and food security. Conclusions The present study provides a worldwide situation that traverse the intellectual quandary on village chicken production and food security research, and a direction for further researches in this field. It is very vital to emphasize that the current study only dealt with principal areas of village chicken production as related to food security research, hence, it is projected that new empirical research and prospective research findings would afford new knowledge and insight on village chicken production as a means to address food security challenges as new studies evolves.

“…In Pakistan, poultry farming has developed from a small scale family operation to a large scale, big business operation, resulting in closure of traditional open-sided poultry houses (Rehman 2017). This alarming situation urges poultry geneticists to explore such chicken breeds, which would be suitable for natural meat production in open environment, reviving the prestigious agro-based poultry culture and rehabilitation of livelihood in rural households (Rehman 2017;Desta 2021). Slow-growing chicken, being scavenging in nature, has an ability to survive on insu cient feed resources under traditional free range conditions (Fanatico et al 2005a).…”

A study was conducted to investigate the effects of free-range, part-time free range, and confinement rearing systems on growth performance and slaughter traits in Lakha, Mushki, Peshawari, and Sindhi Aseel for 10-week duration (7-16 week). In total, 216 Aseel cockerels (6-wk-old), 54 from each variety, were allotted to 12 experimental groups, in a 3 × 4 (rearing system × Aseel variety) factorial arrangement under a randomized complete block design, replicated 3 times with 6 birds in each. Final body weight, weight gain, folds of increase, and mortality parameters of growth performance and carcass yield, breast, thigh, drumstick, wing, liver, gizzard, and heart parameters of slaughter traits were evaluated. Data were analyzed by using 2-way ANOVA under factorial arrangement. The results indicated increased body weight gain, folds of increase, breast and drumstick in both confinement and part-time free range (P<0.05), whereas enhanced body weight, dressing, thigh, liver, and gizzard only in confinement rearing system. Among the Aseel varieties, Sindhi showed enhanced final body weight, weight gain, thigh and drumstick yields, whereas breast and gizzard weights were found to be greater in Lakha and Sindhi. Carcass yield, however, remained higher in all varieties except Peshawari. In conclusion, indoor rearing system had positive effects on growth and carcass-related parameters. Among the varieties, Sindhi showed better growth and slaughter-related performance traits in alternative rearing systems and hence, can be used as slower growing meat chicken in the aforesaid systems of poultry production in developing countries for better livelihood.

The growth of poultry farming has enabled higher spread of infectious diseases and their pathogens among different kinds of birds, such as avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) and avian influenza virus (AIV). IBV and AIV are a potential source of poultry mortality and economic losses. Furthermore, some pathogens have the ability to cause zoonotic diseases and impart human health problems. Antiviral treatments that are used often lead to virus resistance along with the problems of side effects, recurrence, and latency of viruses. Though target hosts are being vaccinated, the constant emergence and re-emergence of strains of these viruses cause disease outbreaks. The pharmaceutical industry is gradually focusing on plant extracts to develop novel herbal drugs to have proper antiviral capabilities. Natural therapeutic agents developed from herbs, essential oils (EO), and distillation processes deliver a rich source of amalgams to discover and produce new antiviral drugs. The mechanisms involved have elaborated how these natural therapeutics agents play a major role during virus entry and replication in the host and cause inhibition of viral pathogenesis. Nanotechnology is one of the advanced techniques that can be very useful in diagnosing and controlling infectious diseases in poultry. In general, this review covers the issue of the poultry industry situation, current infectious diseases, mainly IB and AI control measures and, in addition, the setup of novel therapeutics using plant extracts and the use of nanotechnology information that may help to control these diseases.
