Extract

In the Middle East in the last decade there has been a rapid expansion in the production of poultry meat and table eggs with the development of associated sectors, such as feed mills, hatcheries and breeding farms. This development has been reported in many articles (Anon., 1978) and is especially true in Jordan (Abdul Rahim, 1978; Anon., 1968–1978; Anon., 1979; Daghir, 1970; Daniels, 1969; and Pitcher, 1977) (Table 5.5.1).
