Abstract


India is supposed to be the original home of poultry and it is pre- sumed that the genus Gallus originally migrated from India to other parts of the world, although it is difficult at the present time to trace this migration in all its stages, through the passing of time. In Indian literature, ancient, medieval and modern, references also abound, mentioning the superior qualities of poultry-flesh and its aphrodisiac, health-promoting and disease-eradicating properties: Proverbs and pithy sayings about what human beings might learn from the life of poultry, as among other animals and birds, are to be found in the writings of Chanakya a great Hindu politician and naturalist who lived about 400 B. C.
