Features: With the development of agricultural industrialization and standardized production, large-scale breeding and programmed management have become established in the poultry industry. Particularly after China's entry into the WTO, ensuring the quality of agricultural products and food safety, reducing production costs, improving production efficiency, and enhancing the competitiveness of products in the international market have become crucial issues. This book meets this demand by systematically and comprehensively introducing the fundamental knowledge of poultry farming, especially for brooding periods of laying hens, broilers, ducklings, and meat ducks. Starting from site selection, it covers aspects such as facility architecture, equipment selection and use, superior breeds, nutritional needs and characteristics, ration formulation and requirements, feeding management techniques, and disease prevention. The book also incorporates the latest research findings and successful production experiences, providing valuable references for readers. Aimed at technicians engaged in production, management, and technical services in the poultry industry, as well as professional farm owners, the book is written in an accessible and practical manner. It is believed that this book will bring significant production and economic benefits to readers.
