It traces the development of the skin and feathers over time and discusses our current understanding of the integument's embryonic development. A broad range of studies are included, covering: genetics, welfare, health, nutrition, and management. The book provides a comprehensive yet concise summary of information that will be useful both in the poultry industry and for researchers in animal science and welfare at a postgraduate level.
