Résumé

There has been a substantial increase in the number of people keeping backyard poultry in recent years. Whether this is to provide a self-sufficient supply of food, or for breeding and exhibition, these birds are frequently considered as pets, and owners expect access to veterinary care of the standard on offer to dogs and cats. The BSAVA Manual of Backyard Poultry Medicine and Surgery aims to help meet this expectation.
The Manual begins by considering the origins and different types of poultry that may be kept, before moving on to provide general information on anatomy and physiology, behaviour, husbandry and nutrition. This is followed by chapters covering clinical examination and a variety of diagnostic techniques. The subsequent chapters are dedicated to system-specific conditions, ranging from gastrointestinal and nutritional disorders to those affecting the eyes and skin.
Information on anaesthesia and surgery is provided, as well as a chapter covering the post-mortem examination. The species covered in this Manual include chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, guinea fowl, ornamental pheasants and peafowl.
