This book presents the proceedings of the 26th Poultry Science Symposium held in Peebles, Scotland, and is divided into five parts. Part 1 covers the current and future supply of feedstuffs, where political, agronomic and socioeconomic factors are discussed. The second and third parts, respectively,...
