This book addresses poultry nutrition and disease management from a practical yet scientifically grounded perspective, presenting the subject as a balance between biological understanding and farm-level decision-making. It considers how feeding strategies directly influence bird health, growth efficiency, and resistance to disease, placing emphasis on the careful selection and management of nutrients in different production systems. Alongside this, the text explores the occurrence and control of infectious conditions that affect poultry populations, outlining how environmental factors, hygiene practices, and management choices contribute to disease risk. The narrative also reflects on contemporary poultry farming systems and the need for integrated approaches that combine nutrition, prevention, and monitoring to maintain flock stability. Rather than treating health and feeding separately, the book presents them as closely interconnected elements within a sustainable production framework.
The book aims to support readers in developing practical judgement and informed decision-making, enabling them to manage poultry health and nutrition effectively while maintaining productivity and long-term sustainability.
