520 _a"This book will be useful for college students in agriculture and veterinary medicine taking courses in poultry production and as a guide to raisers and prospective poultry farmers. The strength of this book is that it discusses poultry production under tropical conditions. Detailed discussions are presented on the status and prospects of the poultry industry, housing and equipment, feeding and nutrition, breeding and breeder management, incubation and hatchery management, and production of broilers, egg-type chickens, and ducks. A chapter on the production of native chickens and other minor poultry species such as geese, turkeys, quails, pigeons, and ostriches is also discussed. A comprehensive chapter on poultry diseases and their prevention and control is likewise included."
