Animal Production Systems And Fly Control Programmes

Overview

The descriptions of livestock and poultry production systems in this section of the website are generalized, and considerable local variations occur.
 

However, the basic housing concepts are universal, and the descriptions which follow serve to illustrate the significance of the production system to fly control.
