Descripción
Poultry production is a big business throughout the world. It has become a standard form of cheap protein. It is also a highly competitive industry and feed suppliers, producers, processors, manufacturers of equipment, etc have all appreciated the economies of scale and gone on to develop bigger and more automated systems of operation than ever before to supply an insatiable market. The production of poultry on a small scale is very important in less developed countries, particularly in places some way from the main commercial and industrial centers. There continues to be a need for small-scale processing facilities. Unfortunately, many manufacturers of small-scale equipment have not survived with the march of time and commercial developments. This book has been written however, to show that it is still possible to establish a small operation with the appropriate equipment and facilities. Slaughter of poultry in suitable surroundings by hygenic methods is essential for the production of wholesome meat, extension of the shelf life of the product, reduction of post-harvest losses, and protection of public health. This book addresses these issues and hopes to persuade the producer of poultry on a small scale that it is worthwhile to establish the proper facilities.
