The challenge facing poultry scientists and industry is therefore to produce enough poultry meat in the most efficient manner. This book deals with state of the art research and reviews on the major health and welfare aspects of poultry production. The egg and poultry meat production practices are discussed, with the main emphasis on housing and management requirements, feed composition and the use of veterinary prophylactic and therapeutic drugs. This book will help future researchers and industry to identify alternative feed ingredients having properties like prebiotics, probiotics, organic acids, and exogenous enzymes.
