Poultry science covers raising and managing healthy chickens, turkeys, and ducks for eggs or meat. From live poultry up until retail production, Handbook of Poultry Processing provides an updated and comprehensive reference on everything related to the poultry industry, including scientific, technical, and engineering principles, methods, and product categories. This definitive resource covers the link between meat quality and production process, which can help in solving potential quality problems, making this two-volume set an essential tool for all practitioners, libraries, scientists, researchers, and academics in this field.
