What is Poultry?
Poultry encompasses a variety of domesticated bird species that are raised for their meat and eggs, including chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese. These birds are a significant source of protein and other nutrients in many diets worldwide. Poultry is a versatile ingredient used in numerous culinary traditions, but it is not part of a vegan diet as it involves animal farming and slaughter.
