Poultry is a significant contribution to the economy, agriculture precisely is very important and I can say that agriculture is the backbone of Nigeria, there are so many fields in agriculture but in this dynamic, I would be discussing "Poultry" which is the hint of the contest.

Poultry refers to domesticated birds raised for their eggs, meat, and feathers. Poultry is a significant source of protein worldwide.
This definition has explained it all, but let's move further,
Birds are animals with feathers, e.g., chickens, ducks, turkeys, quails, etc...

They're all different animals but are classified as birds for their likely features and are all raised in poultry.
