Poultry Production In Hot Climates (cabi)

Poultry Production in Hot Climate is a valuable book keeping in view the expansion of poultry in the warm regions of the World. In the chapter of Broiler Feeding and Management in Hot Climate, it is mentioned that intermittent lighting is potentially a sound practice for hot climate. Intermittent lighting is basically applied for intermittent feeding in environment controlled houses. Whereas, in hot regions of the World, birds are still kept in open sided houses where, intermittent feeding is not possible under the effect of intermittent lighting. To overcome this problem I developed an intermittent feeding system for open sided houses. This system can generate all types of feeding frequencies by physically up lifting the feeders. Furthermore, this system was applied to study the effect of intermittent feeding in hot and humid climatic condition and it was found that intermittent feeding during hot climatic condition and improves the feed efficiency and reduces the mortality due to heat stress as compare to continuous feeding and feed withdrawal system. I really appreciate the author for compiling such a valuable book for the poultry scientists and hope that this book will be a milestone for the further research in the field of Poultry Production in Hot Climate.
