Features: To further promote agricultural production, revitalize rural economy, improve the scientific and cultural literacy of farmers, accelerate the modernization of agriculture, and build China into a strong agricultural power and Guangxi into a strong agricultural province, we have organized and published this series of "Three Rural, Three Processes Book Library." This library revolves around the purpose of revitalizing the agricultural economy and serving the "Three Rural" sectors, featuring multiple series such as introductory, popular, and advanced. Using declarative, Q&A, chart, and illustrated () writing styles, it systematically introduces high-yield cultivation techniques for staple crops, cash crops, fruit trees, vegetables, as well as content on animal husbandry, veterinary medicine, aquaculture, and agricultural product processing. The entire library emphasizes a "new" approach and prioritizes "practicality." The text is concise and accessible, the techniques are advanced and innovative, the measures are effective, and the methods are feasible, aiming to make the content easy to understand, learn, and apply. We hope this library will play a significant role in promoting agricultural production, revitalizing the rural economy, and helping farmers escape poverty.
The rapid development of China's poultry industry has not only enriched the pockets of breeders but also greatly enriched the "vegetable baskets," improving people's living standards. All of this is thanks to the deep-rooted belief that "science and technology are productive forces" and the widespread promotion of advanced poultry techniques in rural areas. However, compared to developed countries, we still have significant gaps in production methods, economic efficiency, and consumption levels, and we must continue to strive to catch up. At the same time, the poultry industry, whether now or in the future, remains an indispensable and permanent industry. Continuously updating and promoting practical poultry science and technology will remain a long-term focus of science popularization.
When publishing science popularization materials, it is essential to tailor them to the readers' economic and cultural conditions, ensuring they are affordable, understandable, and applicable. Drawing on years of experience in poultry teaching, production, and research, and incorporating the latest domestic and international poultry development data, we have compiled this book. The book is divided into seven parts: superior chicken breeds, chicken ration formulation, chick raising and management, broiler raising and management, layer raising and management, poultry farm management, and poultry disease prevention and control. The content is designed to be concise, addressing practical technical issues in production, with a focus on practicality, applicability, and effectiveness. The appendices include a diagnostic and differential diagnosis table for poultry diseases, which can provide emergency treatment methods for readers lacking veterinary knowledge, enabling them to apply what they learn in practice.
