Following the success of the first edition, this Second Edition has been extensively updated and augmented, to better reflect the requirements of its readers. The author has replaced a large number of the diagrams with labelled photographs and expanded the Anatomy section to allow a clearer and better understanding of the subject. The Diseases of poultry section has also been updated and now includes photographs of some of the conditions following a basic introductory explanation of the disease process and the body's response. The Parasites section has also been improved by the addition of photographs.
Importantly, the author has added a guide to performing post mortem examinations on suspect birds.
As with the First Edition, this book is designed to provide notes for students in poultry meat inspection and as a revision guide for other students for whom knowledge of poultry anatomy, diseases and other conditions is required, such as vets, environmental health officers and poultry scientists in general.
