Achieving sustainable production of poultry meat Volume 1
Reviews latest research on zoonoses affecting poultry meat such as Salmonella and Campylobacter as well as methods for their control on the poultry farm and in the slaughterhouse Summarises advances in understanding and optimising poultry quality traits such as flavour, colour, tenderness, shelf life and nutritional quality Discusses developments in measuring and reducing the environmental impact of poultry production
Achieving sustainable production of poultry meat Volume 3
To meet growing demand, the FAO has estimated that world poultry production needs to grow by 2-3% per year to 2030. Much of the increase in output already achieved has been as a result of improvements in commercial breeds combined with rearing in more intensive production systems. However, more intensive systems have increased the risk of transmission of animal diseases and zoonoses. Consumer expectations of sensory and nutritional quality have also never been higher. At the same time consumers are more concerned about the environmental impact of poultry production as well as animal welfare. Drawing on an international range of expertise, this book reviews research on poultry health and welf...
