tailieunhanh - Recommended code of practice for the care and handling of poultry from hatchery to processing plant

In part, this small-scale sub-sector of poultry production has grown in response to a market demand for poultry that is raised using production systems outside of the conventional, confinement, industrial model. Free-range poultry, heritage poultry varieties, organic certification and other characteristics are used by farmers to distinguish their products and to help earn a margin that enables them to be profitable despite their small volume of production. In this small-scale, alternative model, farmers typically raise poultry in an effort to diversify and complement other income sources. This model is termed ‘alternative’ because these producers do. | Recommended code of practice for the care and handling of poultry from hatchery to processing plant Agriculture Canada Publication 1757 E available from Communications Branch Agriculture Canada Ottawa KIA OC7 Minister of Supply and Services Canada 1989 Cat.
