Full Description
The book was authored by 30 well-experienced academics to align with the syllabi currently prescribed by the Veterinary Council of India. Additionally, we believe that it will also be beneficial to postgraduate students of Poultry Science and individuals preparing for JRF, SRF, ARS, and NET examinations.
This book has been prepared specifically for students enrolled in the following courses: Poultry Production & Business Management (PPBM), B. Tech, B.Sc Poultry Science, and Poultry Science diploma programs. The title is comprehensive and includes up-to-date information on all topics discussed.
One of the standout features of this book is that each chapter concludes with a Question Bank and Answer key, allowing students to self-test and prepare for exams. The book also includes high-quality photographs, figures, and illustrations to clarify the course material and enhance understanding of the subject. We hope that this book will be a valuable resource for students, as well as teachers, scientists, and farmers.
