Broiler, also known as Cornish Cross, is a type of chicken raised specifically for meat production. Pro-duced by fast-growing breeds with low mortality, broilers can be reared successfully in standard housing conditions on readily available, custom-formulated broiler feed rations. The broiler producer clearly re-quires birds that will achieve a high body weight, with good carcass quality, over the shortest possible period of time using the minimum amount of regular feed. In addition the producer also wants birds that possess the correct body conformation, which will feather rapidly and have a minimal mortality rate. Management of broiler breeders has become a very specialized task, and to our knowledge. Broiler Breeder Production, Production, Feeding & Management Techniques covers on the biology, produc-tion, housing and management of broiler breeders. Bioavailability and immunity response in broiler breeders on organically complexed zinc supplementation is presented in first chapter. The goal of sec-ond chapter is to trace the inclusion of poultry offal meal (OM) in diets by using carbon and nitrogen isotopic ratios of different tissues in order to contribute for the development of an independent technolo-gy for the certification of the feeding of broilers reared on diets with no addition of animal ingredients. Third chapter concludes that supplementing the breeder hen diet with arginine is insufficient to improve the humoral and cellular immune response, requiring supplementation of the offspring diet. Fourth chap-ter discusses the processing of feeds and potential points in the process that may introduce Salmonella contamination to the feed. The objective of fourth chapter is to evaluate the effect of feeding time on productive performance, carcass composition, and tibia contents of calcium and phosphorus in female broiler breeders. Comparing the profitability of organic and conventional broiler production has been described in sixth chapter. Seventh chapter focuses on the antimicrobial use in Chinese swine and broil-er poultry production. Eighth chapter aims to characterize the biological basis of differences between chickens with low and high feed efficiency (FE) with a long-term goal of improving the ability to select for FE. The objective of ninth chapter is to study the effect of dietary supplementation of Coenzyme Q10 on broiler growth rate, carcass characteristics and cost of production. Identification of novel can-didate genes for follicle selection in the broiler breeder ovary is presented in tenth chapter. In eleventh chapter, we examine the costs incurred by preventive biosecurity for Finnish poultry farms. Inheritance of fertility in broiler chickens is highlighted in twelfth chapter. The objective of thirteenth chapter is to assess the level and consistency of LD between SNPs over consecutive years in two elite layer chicken breeding lines. Fourteenth chapter explores on systematic identification of genes involved in divergent skeletal muscle growth rates of broiler and layer chickens. Fifteenth chapter aims to detect chicken anemia virus (CAV) from commercial broiler breeder farms and characterize CAV positive samples based on sequence and phylogenetic analysis of partial VP1 gene. In sixteenth chapter, costs and bene-fits of two Salmonella control policies for broiler production are described and compared. Last chapter highlights on the broiler breeder management.
