Review
...the chapters are easy to read and provide a comprehensive summary of the currently accepted state of knowledge. The chapters on nutrition and growth, lighting, housing, disease and welfare were particularly pleasing. For an edited book authored by so many people, the style and depth of coverage are remarkably consistent. -- Animal Feed Science Technology
1996 ...the editor deserves congratulation for having welded such a wide-ranging series of topics into a coherent whole.
...this book is both a useful reference volume to poultry science as a whole and an excellent introduction to each of the specialised topics covered.
Every librarian with the responsibility for maintaining a first-class collection of poultry science books and journals should consider purchasing a copy. -- B.O. Hughes, British Poultry Science
