Publisher's Synopsis
Poultry production is a biological process, and a sound understanding of poultry behaviour and other aspects of biology is an important prerequisite for designing and maintaining husbandry systems, and for preventing or overcoming management problems. In reviewing the poultry production industry this volume presents coverage of the systems which are available or are being developed. It also considers the ways in which the biology and behaviour of the birds concerned influence the performance of different systems and are in turn influenced by the environment.
