Book excerpt: This book has been extensively prepared for poultry farmers in the tropical regions of Africa and Asia, although a little emphasis was made considering the Nigerian socio-economic and agro-climatic conditions. Small scale farmers make up over 80% of the total output realised from meat and egg production in the tropics, therefore this book was prepared having them in mind. Familiar topics and some terminologies have been well explained for the benefits of poultry lovers who are interested in going into poultry production but lack the "technical know-how". Students of Animal production in tertiary institutions are not left out as this book covers the academic curriculum for undergraduates. Veterinarians, Poultry researchers and consultants will find this book invaluable as the information therein is solid and up to date as regards to the current trend in poultry production. This book is written based on the author's knowledge on poultry farming and the knowledge of various scholars, researchers, farmers and poultry breeders in Africa, India and Great Britain. The following topics have been exhaustively treated 1. Breeds of the domestic fowl2. Incubation and hatching management 3. Poultry housing and equipment4. Poultry brooding (management of day old chicks)5. Management of growers, layers, breeders and broilers6. Poultry nutrition7. Poultry feeds and feeding (including feed formulation) 8.

Book excerpt: "The poultry production systems of Africa are mainly based on the scavenging indigenous chickens found in virtually all villages and households in rural Africa. These systems are characterized by low output per bird. Nevertheless, over 70 percent of the poultry products and 20 percent of animal protein intake in most African countries come from this sector. Therefore, increased rural poultry production would result in a positive impact on household food security both in increased dietary intake and in income generation. ... This study coincided with the World Food Summit, held at FAO, Rome, from 13 to 17 November 1996, where delegations committed their governments and civil society to a global attack on food insecurity and poverty. Poultry, like other short-cycle animal stock, is viewed by the FAO Special Programme for Food Security (SPFS) as a crucial element in the struggle for sustained food production and poverty alleviation. The guidelines provided in this study are particularly pertinent to those countries participating in the SPFS where village chicken production will have a substantial impact on increased household food security and gender equity."--Foreword.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poultry industry continues to expand in the warm regions of the world at a much faster rate than in temperate zones. Not only can it be quickly and easily developed in these hot climates but poultry meat and eggs can serve as important sources of animal protein in those areas of the world that have protein insufficiency. Fully revised and updated, this new edition describes how the detrimental effects of heat stress can be reduced through the manipulation of housing, breeding, nutrition and management, and includes new contributions on controlled-environment housing, waterfowl, and breeding fast-growing broilers.
