Poultry Production Books
Nutritional approaches to arresting the decline in fertility of pigs and poultry
Authors: Edited by J.A. Taylor-Pickard and L. Nollet
Continued genetic development of pigs and poultry has been the foundation of profitable production within a competitive market. However, the challenges of these production increases have undoubtedly taken their toll on reproductive function in all breeding livestock, with the incidence of infertility increasing at an alarming rate. For example, it has recently been estimated that over 40% of sows are culled due to fertility problems, compared to just 2% with feet and leg issues.
