Description
Poultry Keeping and Poultry Farming have developed tremendously over the last 50 years or more, only to find that the advanced methods being used were reaching the point where the health of the birds was deteriorating, and their produce was suspect; salmonella and other dangers became apparent. There has now been an examination of the methods used and the philosophy behind them. As a result, alternative systems have been developed, and more rational approaches are now possible.
This is a practical book that should appeal to agricultural students, poultry farms, and others who are concerned with efficiency; but who also wish to have an appreciation of the welfare aspects related to this important industry
