Tropical Layer Chicken Management Guide: A Sustainable Approach

Tropical Layer Chicken Management Guide is designed to provide the layer-grower a broader understanding of the impact of animal production on our social and economic environment as well as methods to reduce its footprint on our physical environment. In other words, the layer-grower will explore ways to be sustainable using local feed resources, renewable energy and integrating different agricultural production systems.
