520 3 _aThis book is divided into 4 parts (poultry, biology and welfare), which are in turn subdivided into several sections. The origin of different poultry species (fowl, turkey, Japanese quail, Bobwhite quail, guineafowl, pheasant, duck, muscovy, goose, pigeon and ratites), including their domestication and their biology (senses, body systems and physiology) are discussed in the first part. The second part deals with the feeding, social and reproductive behaviour of poultry, especially fowls. The welfare of poultry species in relation to slaughter, diseases, stress, housing conditions and environment are discussed in part 3. The fourth part discusses poultry husbandry, poultry housing, legislation with regard to animal welfare and management and economics of egg and meat production.
