This review paper provides a comprehensive overview of sustainable poultry farming practices, focusing on integrating genetic improvements, alternative feed sources, precision technologies, waste management, and biotechnological innovations. The paper highlights the importance of these strategies in minimizing ecological footprints, upholding ethical standards, improving economic feasibility, and enhancing industry resilience. It explores various sustainable strategies, including eco-conscious organic farming practices and innovative feed sources like insect-based proteins, single-cell proteins, algal supplements, and food waste utilization. The review also addresses barriers to adoption, such as technical challenges, financial constraints, knowledge gaps, and policy frameworks, and emphasizes the need for structured roadmaps, education, and extension services through digital platforms and participatory learning. The paper discusses the benefits of organic poultry farming, such as reduced pesticide use and improved animal welfare, and proposes transformative strategies like holistic farming systems and integrated approaches to improve resource use and nutrient cycling. It underscores the importance of collaboration and knowledge exchange among stakeholders and the role of researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals in shaping a sustainable future for the poultry industry.This review paper provides a comprehensive overview of sustainable poultry farming practices, focusing on integrating genetic improvements, alternative feed sources, precision technologies, waste management, and biotechnological innovations.
