To those uninitiated into th recent activities in avian science the familiar domestic fowl often engenders indifference or aven contempt. this is regrettabble because this bird possesses many fascinating and occasionally unique scientific features which deserve, and indeed nowadays receive, serious attention. we hope that these volumes may improve the appreciation of what has been discovered about this valuable bird.
From more than 5,000 years man has used the domestic fowl as a source of protein. Is growth potential, its reproductive capacity and its efficiency as a converter of vegetable protein have been heavily exploited so that in many countries the domestic fowl is now second the dairy cow as a sources of food.
In multi-authored works some overlap and repetition is often unavoidable; that editing more drastic than we habe attempted woul have produced a less readable and less valuable text. In preparing their contributions the authors, have for the mosts part, been able to survey the literature published to the end of 1970.
