Abstract
The study makes a projection about the current situation and the future of poultry obtained from the broiler sector in Eastern Anatolia Region, which is an important husbandry region of Turkey. 59.63% of the total chicken entity are broilers in 2006. The provinces of Malatya and Elazığ were determined to meet over 85.00% of total poultry production on their own. These two provinces were found to have 91.90% of the poultry of the region. Poultry amount per broiler in 1995 was 1.7 kg and this amount reached 3.3 kg in the year 2007. According to the annual average increase rate calculation, the number of broiler increased 59.58% annually and poultry production increased 22% during the period 2003-2006. According to the long term trend analysis which was made for the period 2007-2017, the number of broilers was estimated to fall behind the number in 2006. On the other hand, the projection made for the poultry production suggested that poultry production which was 20.382 tons in the year 2006 would reach 29.507 tons in the year 2020
