Abstract: Population expansion has become one of the major problems of India. Serious attention is needed to solve this issue. There is a prediction by the United Nations that the Population of India will become 1.64 billion by 2050, while the IHME projects it to be 1.61 billion by 2048. To meet the demands of the increasing population, food production has to increase. Foods that are not of ideal taste by simple cooking means, needs to be processed and then consumed .Over the years, the idea of using spent hen meat in processing has proven to be up and running and its contribution has certainly increased the processed food production .The biggest benefit of processed food or processed meat in general is that it falls under ready to eat category , so preparing a meal from processed meat is time saving. Generally, Spent hens are considered to be a by-product of the poultry industry, they are more or less dumped by farmers of poultry farms or sold at low prices in wet markets in India or are used in food processing, so the investment of the investors are also less. This research review article gives an insight to how spent hens are contributing to the food industry.
