本书分为两部分，共16章，由多位国际科学家撰写。这是致力于家禽肉类可持续生产的三本书系列的一部分。本卷报告了有关家禽健康（第1部分）和福利（第2部分）的最新知识。所有章节都或多或少地用表格和数字来说明最近的科学成果，但总是有大量引用与相关主题有关的最新文献。此外，在每一章的末尾，一个题为“在哪里寻找进一步的信息”的部分指出了感兴趣的读者可以找到进一步信息的书籍、报告或网站。在书的第一部分，与家禽健康有关，读者被给予关于家禽群的疾病预防和管理的非常一般的信息。特别关注肠道健康和腿部疾病，因为这些特定的病理学可以在亚临床水平上显着影响家禽的性能。另外两章给出了家禽群中最常见的病毒和寄生虫的一般信息，但令人惊讶的是，没有一章涉及细菌感染（除了与肠道健康和腿部疾病有关的细菌感染），如大肠杆菌病、巴氏杆菌病、结核病和沙门氏菌病。本书第一部分的补充章节更有针对性地针对家禽群的疾病管理，特别强调增强家禽免疫系统的方法以及如何使用竞争性排斥治疗来控制家禽中的病原体。这些章节是最有针对性的更可持续的生产，因为它们描述了减少家禽中大量使用抗生素的新趋势。然而，令人遗憾的是，很少有说明性的结果，例如用益生菌获得的鸟类性能。书的第二部分涉及家禽行为和福利的概述。除了一般性问题，有趣的具体重点关注的关键方法学的挑战，行为研究和案例研究的福利肉鸡在一个丰富的环境中，在自由放养或炎热的天气条件下，在运输或屠宰。这些案例很有意思，因为它们明确涉及肉鸡可持续生产的三大支柱之一（社会可接受性）。在这一点上，读者必须被告知，本卷仅限于禽肉生产，因此没有关于产蛋鸡福利或行为的信息。更令人惊讶的是，有整整一章专门讨论孵化温度对家禽胚胎发育的影响。这是做得很好，写得很好，但读者只能想知道它的存在，在一本书致力于禽肉生产的可持续性作为一个整体，这本书提出了两个非常不同的部分，没有真实的联系，他们之间和一个非常脆弱的可持续性。尽管如此，所有的科学报告都具有很好的质量，学生或普通读者会在那里找到关于肉鸡健康和福利的良好信息。
This volume is divided into two parts consisting of 16 chapters written by several international scientists. It is part of a series of three books dedicated to sustainable production of poultry meat. This volume reports recent knowledge relating to poultry health (part 1) and welfare (part 2). All chapters are more or less illustrated with tables and figures reporting recent scientific results but there is always a large citation of updated literature related to the concerned topic. Moreover, at the end of each chapter, a section entitled ‘Where to look for further information’indicates books, reports or websites where the interested reader can find further information. In the first part of the book, related to poultry health, readers are given very general information on disease prevention and management in poultry flocks. Specific focuses are made on gut health and leg disorders because these specific pathologies can dramatically affect poultry performance at a subclinical level. Two other chapters give general information on the most common viruses and parasites that can be encountered in poultry flocks but, amazingly, none deals with bacterial infections (apart from the ones concerning gut health and leg disorders) such as colibacillosis, pasteurellosis, tuberculosis and salmonellosis. Complementary chapters of this first part of the book are more targeted towards disease management in poultry flocks with a special emphasis on ways to boost poultry immune systems and how to use competitive exclusion treatments to control pathogens in poultry. These chapters are the most targeted towards a more sustainable production because they describe new trends to decrease the massive use of antibiotics in poultry. However, it is a pity that very few illustrated results, showing bird performance obtained with probiotics for example, are presented. Part two of the book deals with an overview of poultry behaviour and welfare. Besides generalities, interesting specific focuses concern key methodological challenges for behavioural studies and case studies on welfare of broilers in an enriched environment, in free range or hot weather conditions, during transportation or at slaughtering. Those cases are interesting because they clearly address one of the three pillars (social acceptability) of the sustainable production of broilers. At this point, readers must be informed that this volume is restricted to poultry meat production and consequently no information concerning the welfare or behaviour of laying hens is given. More surprisingly, a whole chapter is dedicated to the effect of incubation temperature on embryonic development in poultry. It is well done and written but the reader can only wonder about its presence in a book dedicated to the sustainability of poultry meat production As a whole, this book presents two very distinct parts with no real links between them and a very tenuous one with sustainability. Nevertheless, all scientific presentations are of a very good quality and students or general readers will find there good information about health and welfare of broilers.
