Editorial Reviews
Commercial Poultry Nutrition has been widely accepted as a standard around the world for practical application of feeding systems, in all parts of the poultry industry. This second edition is a major rewrite of the original publication, and in addition to updating all relevant data has been expanded by some 30%.
There is now increased emphasis on description of major and alternate feed ingredients together with details of various ingredient quality control procedures. In dealing with nutrition of meat birds there is emphasis on economics of alternate feeding systems together with details of feed program choice as it affects carcass meat yield and quality.
There are exclusive chapters on nutrition and feeding of both immature and adult egg layers with increased emphasis on both white and brown egg birds. Details of manipulating egg composition are discussed in relation to human health and value-added marketing. The nutritional strategy for all classes of breeding stock are described in terms of egg production, hatchability and also offspring viability and quality. Other specialist sections detail nutrient requirements and feeding programs for turkeys, waterfowl, game birds and ratites.
The authors have produced a unique description of the practical application of nutritional strategies for commercial poultry producers. This new book will be of interest to nutritionists, veterinarians and other senior professionals involved in commercial poultry production.
