Readers will also find entries for relevant farming, medical, descriptive, and industry terms encountered when keeping and treating poultry. Every entry in this Handbook covers the topic in depth and the text is accompanied by up-to-date photographs, and historical images to show the development of poultry breeds.

Written by two highly qualified authors with significant experience in the field of poultry, The Complete Handbook of Poultry includes information on:
