Recent Advances in Poultry Management

Poultry production has proven to be probably the most successful sector of animal production. With a wide variety of products, increased productivity, and a series of alternative production systems, poultry production has shown admirable skills of adjustability to the concerns and attitudes of the modern consumer. Nevertheless, there is still work to be done in terms of research and development, especially toward the modern challenges of climate change, welfare issues, and the overall sustainability of production.
This Special Issue focuses on the recent advances in the production of broilers, laying hens, and other types of birds, mainly around the following subjects: a) structural characterization and clustering of production systems, b) housing and management practices, c) the application of innovative IT methods, d) trends in nutrition, e) the technical and economic efficiency of farms, and f) the quality of poultry meat and eggs.
