The sustainability of local poultry businesses in Southeast Asia is gaining increasing attention due to their contribution to food security, rural economies, and natural resource conservation. However, related research remains fragmented and tends to focus on a single aspect, necessitating a systematic review based on the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) framework to obtain a more comprehensive picture of sustainability. This systematic review followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines and conducted a search of Scopus, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect (November 19, 2025) to identify primary studies assessing the sustainability of local poultry businesses in Southeast Asia. Of the 59 initial records, four studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed in depth using a narrative thematic synthesis approach. The results indicate that the economic dimension was the most dominant focus, particularly related to profitability, feed costs, business efficiency, and the economic impact of reducing antimicrobial use and agritourism. The social dimension was reflected in studies of community cohesion, cultural values, and farmer norms and motivations for adopting circular economy practices, although empirical evidence remains limited. The environmental dimension primarily relates to antimicrobial use and the risk of antimicrobial resistance, as well as organic waste management through circular economy practices. Overall, research on the sustainability of local poultry in Southeast Asia remains focused on economic aspects, while studies that integrate social and environmental dimensions within a single TBL framework are rare. This review highlights the need for multidisciplinary research and more comprehensive study designs to understand the interrelationships between sustainability dimensions and provide a scientific basis for policies and interventions to strengthen the resilience of local poultry enterprises. © 2026 by the authors.
