Recursos de producción avícola
Los animales domésticos productores de alimentos en el mundo superan en número a la población humana, en una proporción de dos a uno. Hay miles de especies animales en el mundo, aunque solo unas pocas han sido domesticadas con éxito de forma permanente y ninguna en los últimos 2000 años. De hecho, cinco especies (bovinos, ovejas, cabras, pollos y cerdos) comprenden más del 95 % de los animales de granja del mundo y las cinco se encuentran en los trópicos húmedos de las tierras bajas. Sin embargo, de todos los animales tradicionales de pequeña escala en los trópicos, los pollos son, con mucho, los más comunes, como de hecho lo son en todo el mundo.
