Poultry Feathers and Skin
The Poultry Integument in Health and Welfare
by Oluyinka A Olukosi, Ariane Helmbrecht, Victor Olori, Nick French, Sarah Lambton
Description
Based on the proceedings of a recent symposium, this book documents the significant developments that have been made in our understanding the importance of the integument to poultry species. It traces the development of the skin and feathers over time and discusses our current understanding of the integument's embryonic development. A broad range of studies are included, covering: genetics, welfare, health, nutrition, and management. The book provides a comprehensive yet concise summary of information that will be useful both in the poultry industry and for researchers in animal science and welfare at a postgraduate level.
