The first edition of this book was published in 1995 that deals with various sectors of the poultry industry in hot climates. The new second edition includes 12 chapters, wherein three are new and not included in the first edition. Chapter 1 covers an overview of the poultry industry in the warm region which is completely revised with new tables of production and consumption figures. Chapters 2 and 4 are not revised or changed in any way that discusses the breeding for heat resistance, and the behavioural, physiological, neuroendocrine and molecular responses of chickens to heat stress, respectively. Chapter 3 discusses breeding fast-growing, high-yield broilers for hot climates and serves as an update of Chapter 2. Chapter 5 discusses housing improvement and designs for hot climates. The Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 are all updated that discusses the topics on nutrient requirements, feedstuffs used in hot regions, mycotoxins in poultry feeds, broiler feeding and management in hot climates, and replacement pullet and layer feeding and management in hot climates, respectively. Chapter 12 which is new to this edition discusses waterfowl production in hot climates. The second edition has over 300 new references in addition to the 950 that were included in the first edition. This book is intended for veterinarians, animal scientists, animal nutritionists, geneticists, farm owners, farm managers and students.
