Poultry is a major component of modern animal agriculture supporting meat and egg production, household incomes, feed industries, food processing, trade, and food security. Poultry-stock figures measure the number of birds present in a country at the time of enumeration rather than production weight. The Food and Agriculture Organization reports poultry stocks in thousands of birds. The 2024 dataset covers poultry raised for meat, eggs, breeding, and other purposes. Global poultry stocks in 2024 totaled approximately 29.6 billion birds. Asia accounted for approximately 18.3 billion of the global poultry stock. China held approximately 6.41 billion poultry birds.
