Visualization of Global Chickens Farming and Their Production Systems

Abstract

The global chicken population has reached an astounding 26 billion in 2024.Thisfigure primarily reflects the total number of domesticated chickens worldwide, encompassing stock chickens raised for meat and egg production in commercial farms, backyard flocks, and other agricultural settings. While it includes those kept as pets or on small farms, it generally excludes wild or feral chickens, as these are not tracked systematically in agricultural statistics. Chickens are one of the most ubiquitous and economically significant animals on the planet, thriving in diverse climates and regions. Global Chickens Farming and Their Production Systems has been visualized: (1) Global Systems of Poultry Farming (traditional free range, backyard or subsistence, semi intensive, small-scale intensive); (2) Global  Life Cycle of Chickens Development in Body Weight for Broiler from 1957 – 2024 : 1957 (905g); 1978 (1,808g); and 2005-2024 (4,202g); (3) Global Integrated Poultry Industry (broiler operation and layer operation); (4) Global Meat Production By Species and Their Prices (poultry-pork-beef-sheep; $3.01 vs $3.70-$3.15 vs $3.87-$6.24 vs $7.48); (5) Top 10 Global Poultry Production and Companies (China, Indonesia, Pakistan, Brazil, United States, Iran, India, Mexico, Russia, Vietnam – JBS S.A, Tyson Foods, Wen’s Food Group, CP Group, Koch Food Inc, Industrias  Bachoco; and Gargil); and (6) Global Poultry Economic Roles for Many Countries (income, protein, employment, taxes, economic diversification, malnutrition, social status, and religious and traditional ceremonies): (1) The United States of America and (2) Indonesia.
