Book synopsis

This fascinating work is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of all turkey enthusiasts and historians of the breed. Equally as valuable to an amateur turkey keeper as to those in the agricultural industry its 333 pages contain a wealth of information and anecdote on a variety of aspects of poultry husbandry. It focuses mainly on commercial turkey-keeping and acts as a simple, practical guide to the everyday work of the turkey-farmer. Extensively illustrated with text and full page photographs. Contents Include: Preface; The Growth of the Turkey Industry; Structure and Make-up; Varieties of Turkeys; Nutrition and Balancing the Diet; Incubation; Brooding and Rearing; Principles of Breeding; Management of Breeding Stock; The Motley System; Marketing; Ailments and Diseases; The Appendices - Marketing, Standards of Perfection, Incubation and Embryology, General, Nutrition; and an Index. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
