Advances in Poultry Welfare provides a targeted overview of
contemporary developments in poultry welfare. The reviews in the
volume address topical issues related to poultry welfare research
and assessment, with a focus on identifying practical strategies
for improvement as well as information gaps that remain to be
filled. Part One provides an introduction to poultry production
systems and gives a broad overview of current poultry welfare
issues. Part Two moves on to review several aspects of poultry
management, focusing on hatchery practices, early rearing, and
slaughter. Part Three deals with welfare assessment on the farm,
while Part Four explores continuing challenges, such as feather
pecking and skeletal problems. This is followed in Part Five by a
discussion of emerging issues, with chapters covering alternative
parasite control methods, backyard poultry production, mass
depopulation, and genetic approaches to reducing the impact of
environmental stressors on welfare. This book is an essential part
of the wider ranging series Advances in Farm Animal Welfare, with
coverage of cattle, sheep, pigs, and poultry. With its expert
editor and international team of contributors, Advances in Poultry
Welfare is a key reference tool for welfare research scientists and
students, veterinarians involved in welfare assessment, and indeed
anyone with a professional interest in the welfare of poultry.
