      abstract = {This study was undertaken with a view to determining the  poultry and egg production and their consumption behaviour  with variation in income in rural and urban areas of  Bangladesh. For this purpose, 800 households from 4 regions  were interviewed. Results showed that the number of local  poultry per urban and rural households were 0.56 and 16.26  respectively. The numbers of commercial layer per urban and  rural households were 0.38 and 3.31 respectively. Annual  egg production per layer were 48.16, 280.40 and 57.64 for  local, commercial layer and duck respectively. It is  revealed that per capita daily consumption of poultry meat  and egg were respectively increased to 7.64g and 6.31g in  2002 compared to 6.04g and 4.82g in 1995. The calculated  value of coefficient of income elasticity of demand for  poultry meat and egg were +1.20 and +1.28, respectively.  The most responsible factors that affected the demard for  and supply of poultry meat and egg were identified. Some  suggestions were made to improve the production and  consumption of poultry and egg in the country.},
