This guide to the management of poultry under both intensive and
extensive systems is still the only text to present the partical
aspects of poultry science concisely, conveniently, comprehensively
and readably.
Since the third edition was published in 1992 there have been
many more developments in the poultry industry, which have made a
new edition necessary. These include new systems which are
environmentally and welfare 'friendly'; much more emphasis on
hygiene and vaccines in disease control and the role of molecular
biology and cloning; further advances in management with special
reference to feeding, drinking, lighting and egg collection;
advances in genetics; developments in housing; nutritional
advances; and increasingly restrictive legislation concerning the
safety to the public of poultry products (particularly zoonotic
diseases and drug residues) and welfare.
Another chapter, on organic poultry production, has also been
added to this edition.
