Descripción

Non-chicken Poultry Production focuses on the 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 are covered, with an emphasis on long-term economic viability and sustainability. It ultimately examines the future outlook for establishing long-term, sustainable production systems, helping aid academic and industry researchers meet the demand of growing populations and contributing to global food security.

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.
