As commercial farming has progressed hybrids became the necessity to keep up with demand in the shops and food processing factories.

However, the breeding techniques to create a hybrid is usually done at the expense of their health. Whereas traditional breeding is a selection process to get an overall healthy bird, hybrids are specifically chosen for their meat or egg output alone.If hybrids are bred with hybrids, the genetic stock becomes weaker and more problematic with time. To ensure healthy hybrid stock, it is best to breed from the mix of pure breeds. Poultry Farming with the help of hybrid poultry animals to get more yields
