Poultry Environment Problems A guide to solutions
Poultry Environment Problems A guide to solutions
Author(s): David Charles and Andrew WalkerOne of the purposes of practical housing and equipment is to provide for the biological, economic and welfare needs of the birds. Fortunately, the scientific literature contains a great deal of information on these needs, so that a recommended approach to practical problems is to start with an appraisal of the requirements and responses of the birds. Then, designers and engineers can provide for these needs.
This book provides information on the needs and responses of poultry to aspects of the climatic environment, by means of reviews of the scientific literature. Biological responses to environmental factors are discussed, as well as some principles of the movement of air through and within buildings. Many of the principles apply to both indoor production and to the housing attached to free range systems.
This book will be of interest and value to academics, researchers, consultants, producers and engineers involved in the poultry industry.
