Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Poultry farming is the form of animal husbandry which raises domesticated birds such as chickens, ducks, turkeys and geese to produce meat or eggs for food. More than 60 billion chickens are killed for consumption annually. According to the World Watch Institute, 74% of the world’s poultry meat, and 68% of eggs are produced intensively. Many others systems involved lower or high stocking densities exist and this can have an impact on the management and nutrition requirements of these birds under these circumstances, within the production purpose for meat or eggs. Nutritional requirements of the poultry is a science that need to be updated as new ingredients and alternatives are available, and also to follow the genetic selection of the most of the poultry lines, and the changes in environment where these birds are submitted around the globe. This special issue “Management and Poultry Nutrition” have the aim of creating a source of research publications that could serve as reference and guidance for the new changes in the production systems, new feed ingredients, different poultry species and genetic packages. These information can be beneficiary to help the meat and egg production, and at the same time be more environmentally friendly.
