I do believe that only with best welfare practices to animals, you could give best production results and best behavior from animals, may be production animals or companion animals.
It is good informative paperabout challenge for Poultry but with academic value only.
Best welfare practices for animals are no doubt very important for animals but economically these lower the production of birds. e.g. the production of layers in cage system is greater than the birds on the floor and similar results are for broilers. what will we have to do to achieve the same production?

Thanks for delivering such an important issue about challenge for Poultry. Developing countries like ours government will take initiatives to maintain the welfare of poultryand the professionals engaged with the industry will come out to impliment the work properly by creating awareness and other necessary initiatives. Thanks again..
