Abstract

In Africa, where more than 17 % of the world\'s population lives, poultry production amounts to only 4% of world production. In fact, the majority of African countries south of the Sahara, with the exception of South Africa, do not have sufficient food resources to allow for large-scale production of these birds, nor do they have the infrastructure and marketing organizations capable of supplying markets on a regular basis at competitive prices. As a result, African poultry supply still relies at a high rate on relatively rudimentary traditional production systems and this type of farming is therefore developing less rapidly than in other parts of the world.
Through this paper we will discussthe African production of chicken meat in its overall state, then the production in the Northern countries in generally and the case of Algeria specifically with the delays and challenges of this industry.
Finally, we will provide some prospects for an improvement of the Scientific basis of this field in Africa.
