Abstract: This study was conducted at different selected areas of Tangail district in Bangladesh. The Basail Thana of Tangail district was selected for the study. The study was carried out to know about the present status of the backyard poultry in the rural areas. This study shows that in the backyard poultry farming system there is no organized way for poultry rearing. No scientific methods & techniques are followed in this system in relation to housing feeding, breeding & management. There is no vaccination medication facilities. The bio-security measurement is very poor. They usually do not clean the poultry house in a regular basis. So mortality due to disease is one of the problems faced by the rural people. For this reason the economic loss is occurred. On the other hand, the cost of feeding, housing, medication & labour cost is very low. Backyard poultry lives on scavenging on natural recourses. The average egg production per year per bird was 40-50. The benefit cost ratio was 1.987:1. Despite some problems backyard poultry farming by women is profitable. Ultimately the backyard poultry farming can plays an important role in the economical development & sustainability of the rural households and also helps in the alleviation of the poverty.
