"The poultry production systems of Africa are mainly based on the scavenging indigenous chickens found in virtually all villages and households in rural Africa. These systems are characterized by low output per bird. Nevertheless, over 70 percent of the poultry products and 20 percent of animal protein intake in most African countries come from this sector. Therefore, increased rural poultry production would result in a positive impact on household food security both in increased dietary intake and in income generation. ... This study coincided with the World Food Summit, held at FAO, Rome, from 13 to 17 November 1996, where delegations committed their governments and civil society to a global attack on food insecurity and poverty. Poultry, like other short-cycle animal stock, is viewed by the FAO Special Programme for Food Security (SPFS) as a crucial element in the struggle for sustained food production and poverty alleviation. The guidelines provided in this study are particularly pertinent to those countries participating in the SPFS where village chicken production will have a substantial impact on increased household food security and gender equity."--Foreword.

Successful poultry production must be based on sound biological principles. It is evident that poultry biology and behavior must be taken fully into account in the design and management of systems, and in the production and overcoming of problems. This book considers the ways in which the biology and behavior of the birds concerned influences the performance of different systems and are in turn influenced by the environment. Reflecting current concern about intensive methods of farming, the authors also assess the implications of different production systems for poultry welfare. Balanced and scientific throughout, the authors synthesize results from an extremely active area of research. Aspects of economics and legislation are considered from an international perspective. The book is a major addition to the literature in this field and is aimed at advanced students, research workers and professionals concerned with poultry production, as well as those with an interest in animal behavior and welfare.

Recent interest in how poultry are housed and managed in order to ensure profitability, sustainability, and good levels of animal welfare, are challenging issues that commercial poultry keepers face, particularly where legislation is bringing about legal requirements for housing. This book compares and contrasts alternative housing with conventional and traditional systems for commercial poultry (laying hens, meat chickens, turkeys, waterfowl and gamebirds) with regards to welfare, disease, health, nutrition, sustainability and genotype-environment interaction. It is suitable for researchers and students in poultry science. .

Family poultry encompasses all small-scale poultry production systems found in rural, urban and peri-urban areas of developing countries. Rather than defining the production systems per se, the term is used to describe poultry production practised by individual families as a means of obtaining food security, income and gainful employment. Family poultry production is often perceived as an activity that can easily and quickly generate income and support food security for resource-poor households. However, the essential requirements for the efficient production of healthy and profitable poultry and eggs are frequently inadequately understood by those designing projects for resource-poor settings. This publication provides guidance for personnel in governments, development organizations and NGOs to better determine and plan development interventions for family poultry. The decision tools address the situation of four distinct family poultry production systems and their development opportunities: small extensive scavenging, extensive scavenging, semi-intensive production and small-scale intensive production. They describe the poultry production systems, including their required inputs and expected outputs and the techniques and tools used to assess the operational environment, in order to design interventions suited to the local conditions. Practical technical information are provided about genetics and reproduction, feeds and feeding, poultry health, housing, marketing and value chain development, microfinance and credit, institutional development, training and extension, and creating an enabling policy. Guidance is then provided on how to utilize this relevant information to design and develop projects targeted at specific conditions.

The aim of this study is to provide an assessment of the potential for organic poultry production in England and Wales and, in particular, to identify likely technical, financial and market constraints for the development of organic chicken, egg and table meat production enterpises. The focus of this study is on businesses that might choose to adopt organic poultry production, as well as free-range producers who might wish to convert to full organic standards. It is assumed that organic poultry production systems are unlikely to result from the conversion of intensive conventional poultry units
