Features: Broilers are characterized by rapid early growth, high feed conversion rate, high reproduction rate, strong stress resistance, low production cost, quick capital turnover, good economic benefits, and high market demand. They can be raised in both scattered and high-density conditions. Developing broiler production is an effective way to help farmers become wealthy and achieve a well-off life, as well as to rationally allocate rural surplus labor. Broiler production specialists must closely cooperate with breeding farms, hatcheries, feed mills, slaughter and processing plants, and sales markets, raise poultry legally, and honor contracts to form a complete industrialized broiler production system. The entire process of industrialized broiler production is permeated with high-tech and innovative technologies, which requires producers to continuously learn advanced domestic and international experiences and scientific research results, systematically understand new technologies and methods in broiler production, and improve China's broiler production level. In addition to systematically introducing broiler breeds, breeding and hatching, feed and nutrition, feeding management, chicken farm construction, and disease prevention, this book also includes chapters on the environment of broilers, waste disposal in chicken farms, and the raising of high-quality broilers, as well as an overview of domestic and international broiler production and trade, to meet the needs of readers.
