Full Description
Demand for chicken and eggs has surged with population growth, rising income levels, and urbanization. Meeting the demand has proved a challenge for farmers and other stakeholders. Non-chicken Poultry Production focuses on modern production of non-chicken poultry birds as alternatives to diversify animal protein options and complement conventional chicken production. The book offers a general review of the sustainable production of non-chicken birds, followed by nutritional considerations for each bird of interest. Various strategies to improve the nutrition, welfare, and health of the birds, will be covered, with an emphasis on long-term economic viability and sustainability. Non-chicken Poultry Production ultimately examines the future outlook for establishing long-term, sustainable production systems. It aims to aid academic and industry researchers in meeting the demand of the growing population and contributing to global food security.
