Covering science, management and husbandry systems, this book reviews the biological science and background to breeding meat poultry, specifically broiler, turkey and duck. It is suitable for researchers and students in animal science, as well as technical staff of breeding companies and poultry meat producers.

This book reviews the biological science and background to breeding meat poultry, specifically broiler, turkey and duck. These commercial birds have been changed by genetic selection to such an extent that they are substantially different from traditional breeds and laying hens. Covering science, management and husbandry systems, this book is an essential reference for researchers and students in animal science, as well as technical staff of breeding companies and poultry meat producers.
Part of the Poultry Science Symposium Series.
