摘要

The poultry industry has seen remarkable progress over the years and has been consistently contributing to majority of several country’s gross domestic product across the globe. The key factor for the rapid growth in the poultry sector is the ease in production with remarkable success in scientific integrative approaches. Another factor for poultry meat being the most relished food among different meats is because of its superior sensory qualities, nutritive value, low cost, and no religious taboos. Poultry meat and eggs are a rich source of nutrients required by humans and are high in biological value when compared to other foods. With the growing popularity and demand for poultry products, the processors are coming with more and more innovations in product processing. Poultry products range from a vast variety from comminuted, non-comminuted, shelf-stable products, and egg powders in the form of ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat. Almost every eatery and market contains different poultry products along with other foods, and they are found readily available for the consumers. Designer meat and eggs, functional meat products, and low-fat meat products have become the choice of most health-conscious consumers, and these products started to occupy a steady place in the market. The awareness about different residues in poultry products sparked alarm among consumers to choose wisely the food to be consumed. This further posed a challenge to farmers and processors to produce safe and wholesome poultry products by implementing stringent practices in traceability from farm to fork operations. When compared with other species, poultry’s relatively sustainable production practices make it a preferred choice for those looking to reduce their ecological impact. With almost a promising pavement for the future of the sector, poultry products will occupy a key position in the food industry and will meet the different trends demanded by the consumer.
