Poultry contributes significantly to nutrition and food security, providing protein, essential micro-nutrients, and energy to humans in short production cycles at an inexpensive cost. Thus, chicken meat is considered an essential source of animal protein in human diets due to its nutrient-dense composition, which makes it an integral part of healthy and balanced diets, as well as it is appreciated by many cultural culinary traditions. The poultry industry also contributes to poverty alleviation by assisting household income and market participation (Mottet and Tempio, 2017). Therefore, the poultry industry is rapidly growing particularly in developing countries (Bahri, 2019). Based on statistics, there is over 23 billion poultry around the world (Mottet and Tempio, 2017). Comparatively, the human population is now at 7 billion and growing at a rate of 1.4% yearly, and it is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050 (Jenkins et al., 2020). Hence, there is approximately three poultry for each person, which is five times more than five decades ago (FAOSTAT, 2016). This growth has led to an increase in meat and egg production (Barbut, 2016). In 2016, the global poultry meat production was 116 million metric tons (MT), which increased to 120.5 MT in 2017 and 122.5 MT in 2018, representing a 1.6% increase from 2017 to 2018 (Bahri, 2019). From the total, 20 MT of poultry meat are produced by USA, 18 MT by China, and Brazil with EU around 13 MT yearly. The Asia regions will determine the primary growth in the future. According to the OECD/FAO (2014), poultry meat production in South and East Asia would increase to around 1.8 MT annually by 2025. For example, Malaysia today is trending to develop commercial poultry production largely into big enterprises via the vertically integrated system. Its broiler production has increased from 471.56 million birds in 2007 to more than 720.11 million birds in 2013, and its broiler meat production was 1,520,000 tons in 2015 (Baluch et al., 2017). Consequently, Malaysia is self-sufficient in poultry meat production, which is increasing at an exponential rate in line with domestic demand
