Poultry are the most widely used animal protein source in the
world: billions of meat birds are produced globally each year,
using 360 million tons of feed. Within Europe, over 30,000
companies involved in the production of poultry create an annual
turnover of 107 billion. However, maintaining the sustainability of
the industry as it moves towards antibiotic-free production is one
of the key challenges. Starting with an overview of antibiotics as
growth promoters and the challenges faced as the industry moves
away from their use, this book then thoroughly considers the
potential of pre and probiotic additives in poultry gut health. The
book: Includes thorough definitions of additives in the pre and
probiotic space and examples of how they work; Addresses how to
test pre and probiotics and other similar additives, and how they
interact with other products, with learning from both poultry and
allied sectors; Combines authors from both academic and industry
backgrounds on all chapters, to ensure coverage is balanced, robust
and commercially relevant. Based on the renowned World Poultry
Science Association UK Branch Poultry Science Symposium 2022, this
book provides a thorough and valuable contribution to the field for
all involved with the nutrition and production of poultry.

Examining sustainable poultry production systems across Europe,
this book contains a selected cross section of papers from the 2014
UK Poultry Science Symposium. It reviews essential topics such as
resources and supply chains, the global poultry market, risk
management, zoonoses and green issues. Providing a compilation of
the most current research in the poultry science and production
industry, this book is an important resource for both researchers
and professionals.

Archaeological evidence is enriched when it is viewed against the
backdrop of its natural landscape setting. This setting is not
readily apparent in the lower Lea valley, where evidence for the
natural topography has been cut away by quarrying and reservoir
construction or buried by metres of alluvium and modern made
ground. The Lea Valley Mapping Project, funded by the Aggregates
Levy Sustainability Fund, has taken a geoarchaeological approach to
reconstructing the past landscape and its relationship to
archaeological distributions by using existing borehole information
to model the buried topography and past environment of the lower
Lea valley from the M25 to the confluence of the Lea and the
Thames. The results place the known archaeology within its past
landscape context and also predict the archaeological potential of
the study area, which readers can investigate by referring both to
the maps in the monograph and to the accompanying gazetteer. They
can also download the interpreted geo-referenced datasets produced
for the project from the ADS website. This book will be an
indispensable guide not only for those wishing to know the
archaeological potential and past landscape characteristics of the
lower Lea valley but to anyone proposing to investigate the buried
landscape in other river valleys or wanting an introduction to
Quaternary deposits, environments and landscape processes in
Greater London.
