A broiler is not a species of animal. It is a category used by the meat industry to designate a certain group of breeds of chicken or turkey raised for its meat (as opposed to types of chickens raised for eggs). The scientific name of the domestic chicken is Gallus gallus domesticus. Domestic turkeys are usually Meleagris gallopavo but may be Meleagris ocellata in South America.
