The poultry sector contributes around Rs. 1,500 crores to the Gross National Product (GNP) and employs over half a million people. Yet owing to the teeming human population, the per capita consumption of eggs and poultry meat in India is one of the lowest compared to other developed countries. The role of poultry in improving the nutritional status of our population and argumenting income and employment, specially of the weaker section is unique particularly when an increase in per capita egg consumption by just one egg provides additional jobs for 32,000 people. Each and every poultry farmer needs the latest technical know-how to raise their economical standard by obtaining maximum profit out of minimum investment. Keeping all these facts in view the book was first published in 1976 and since then it has gone through a second revised edition. In this third edition apart from up-dating the previous edition, information about the practical farming of Duck and Quail have been incorporated. For strengthening the management side, care of the chickens during summer and monsoon have also been dealt in length. New illustrative photographs of this edition significantly enhances the merit of the logical treatment. The book thus provides educational concepts and a self study guide for student, researchers, teachers, livestock extension specialists and administrators interested in the study of POULTRY.ISBN-9788120400986
