First published in 1991, the third edition of this comprehensive reference includes new material on heritage breeds, on-farm processing, pastured feeding methods, and humane raising practices as well as updated organic certification standards."A renaissance is underway," says the author, "a renewed interest in keeping poultry in backyards, homesteads, and small diversified farms. Fueling this movement are concerns about food safety and a craving for better flavor and nutrition."
The contents of the book cover the health, breeds, protection and processing of turkeys as well as the equipment and feeds needed for raising the birds effectively. Illustrations, charts and a glossary of terms are included.
