The geographical factors, affecting the poultry farming and production projects, were studied in (320) private licensed working projects, licenses, with no government project, distributed in eight districts of the province of Baghdad, (255) projects for meat production, the largest one of them was in Mahmudiya district with (23.9% ).

While (65) projects for eggs production, the largest of which was in the district of Tarmiyah with (24.6% ).

Some factors contributed to the establishment and spread of these projects, such as the extrusion of the surface of the study area and the degree of decline and soil, despite the salinity of a large part, which affected the cultivation of some feed crops, as well as the spread of main and secondary roads, which contributed to the transfer of products and requirements of projects and marketing, while solar radiation, temperature, evaporation and humidity were not suitable for the conditions of poultry farming, so the adoption of the closed halls system with 15% and most of the projects were semi closed halls.

Labor was available in the study area but the projects suffered from the lack of government support and the lack of the provision of vaccines and medicines and fuel energy to operate the projects, even at low prices, and lack of price control, and stop the provision of agricultural loans needed by projects as capital, and that's leads to lack of Cages Farming System with only 2.5% and spreading Ground System in most projects with 97.5% .

The results showed that there were 8 feedstocks and 13 hatcheries, all of which were private investment and no government massacres.

The study area also suffered from a lack of veterinary centers, only one veterinary hospital and (13) clinics, and the lack of efficient medical staff.

Chicken diseases also varied from infectious epidemic diseases to malnutrition or mismanagement, , which grew more in winter and summer with 32.8% 30.2% respectively.
