Nutritional deficiency diseases Book review by Dr, Smith Jackson For over 35 years of veterinary practiced. I work with many poultry farms and backyard farmers. I am often asked severally, what books could I recommend to help them to learn, the best management and gain better understanding of keeping birds healthy and productive. I have been unable to help them much with their requests, as most of the text on are written for veterinarians and large-scale poultry farmers.With limited usefulness to a layperson.Few books are available for the fancier, and those that I have seen are generally incomplete and not accurate. However, I am delighted to see this publication is made available to the poultry fanciers.Philip Kansas Perry has covered the all the topic related to the keeping your birds healthy and productive for better management very competently and completely.Dr. Philip k. Perry has also presented his information in a quite accessible format for the fancier to understand. Prevention of diseases through good management is essential when raising poultry, especially the backyard birds, which are not always vaccinated for many of the diseases. Having a book such as this which outlined good management strategies as well as diseases prevention is a valuable asset to the poultry fancier.I believe the best use of this book is to read it through for the diseases prevention management information.Implement whatever management practices that you are not already using.Then keep the book handy as a reference if you observed any disease problem with your chicken refer to it.
