The role of poultry meat and egg is an undisputable fact and has always been an integral part of human nutrition.

The benefits of chicken meat consumption on various factors viz., maintenance of body weight, body tone, bones and teeth, metabolism, and protection from cancer were examined. Also, the myths about consumption of chicken meat and broiler are reviewed in detail. In addition, the benefits of egg consumption are illustrated with many health attributes viz., Strong muscles, brain health, energy production, healthy immune system, risk of heart disease, healthy pregnancy, eye sight, weight loss and maintenance and skin benefits. It can be concluded that a comprehensive search of peer – reviewed databases revealed that poultry meat and egg production have the power to alleviate/eradicate poverty among the developing nations through various schemes for rearing of rural poultry. This would help in decreasing the malnutrition by making the availability of “poultry protein”. Further research is needed to explore optimal intervention of predictive modelling, artificial Intelligence and IoT technologies to identify the popularization on the production and consumption of poultry and its products
