Kadaknath Poultry Farming as an Emerging Way to Increase Farmer’s
Income in Rainfed Farming Systems in Jhabua
Chandan Kumar, I.S. Tomar and Anil Kumar Sharma
Krishi Vigyan Kendra Jhabua, RVSKVV Gwalior (M.P)
Animal husbandry is an integral component of rainfed farming systems and, is a significant
revenue stream for farmers. The livestock including sheep, goat and poultry which are integral
to many rainfed areas go unnoticed, or get lesser than deserving attention. To conserve the
native breed which is adaptive to local environment and having good potential of income
generation known for its black colour which is very rare and precious known as Kadaknath in
India found in Jhabua district of M.P. The Kadaknath chicken meat from Jhabua district of M.P
received GI Tag in ‘Meat products, poultry & poultry meat’ category. The meat & egg of
Kadaknath are rich source of Protein (21-24%) and lower source of Fat (1.96-2.6 %). Black
meat of Kadaknath is very popular and delicious; its flesh is of higher value and is being used
for the treatment of many human diseases by tribal living in Jhabua district. To maintain the
purity of the birds and to increase their productive and reproductive efficiency, the scientific
kadaknath production technology which includes balance diet, scheduled vaccination & proper
medication as suggested by KVK Jhabuain NICRA adopted villageshas reduced the mortality
rate from 50% to 10-12% and thus increases the survival percentage. The intervention of
feeding Azolla Microphylla to kadaknath birds in the adopted village of NICRA shows
significant effect and performs much better than traditional rearing system in Jhabua. This
intervention not only checks mortality but also increase their body weight when fed 5% extra
from recommended dose of grower feeds to 1 month old kadaknath grower birds. The bird is
gaining the body weight in faster way and attaining saleable body weight of 1.10 kg in 105-120
days. This technology gave higher monetary return to farmers due to huge demand for
Ecosystem based approaches for climate change adaptation, ecosystem services, integrated farming system
models, Land degradation neutrality
