About this Research Topic
For the growing population in the next 20 years, a 70 percent increase in global food production, including 200 million tons of meat, is required as countries develop (FAO, 2009). The necessary increase in meat production can be achieved by increasing reproductive efficiency and maximizing the genetic potential of poultry animals. Therefore, this Research Topic aims to describe the current state of production efficiency research, especially in poultry.
With the economic development of many countries, the meat, dairy, and seafood markets have witnessed a huge demand from developed countries. Increasing demand for protein components is one of the important and interesting issues in animal nutrition and poultry farming, and there are many important developments in this field. It also encourages the effort to find improved alternatives to increase the production and growth performance of carcass traits at a reasonable cost. Many studies conducted today discuss increasing quality and growth performance. Further studies should be carried out with an interest in increasing growth performance and carcass yield, as this will be one of the important issues in the coming years.
