5-0 out of 5 stars Great basic how-to-cook any meat book!
I love cooking and collect cookbooks that are written for day-to-day use and this is one I value highly. A lover of seafood I have always been weak at purchasing, preparing and cooking meats and poultry. This book explains all - without the hoity-toidy sous chef flamboyance of many cookbooks. I recommend this highly for new, curious and just married cooks who like to eat well and appreciate a well served dish. The text and graphics are well done and easy to understand andd follow - after all, I want to cook not read!I bought mine used and in great condition. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
Successful poultry production must be based on sound biological principles. It is evident that poultry biology and behavior must be taken fully into account in the design and management of systems, and in the production and overcoming of problems. This book considers the ways in which the biology and behavior of the birds concerned influences the performance of different systems and are in turn influenced by the environment. Reflecting current concern about intensive methods of farming, the authors also assess the implications of different production systems for poultry welfare. Balanced and scientific throughout, the authors synthesize results from an extremely active area of research. Aspects of economics and legislation are considered from an international perspective. The book is a major addition to the literature in this field and is aimed at advanced students, research workers and professionals concerned with poultry production, as well as those with an interest in animal behavior and welfare. ...

I give this book only 4 stars, because it does not cover at all that poultry can be eaten and how to butcher and prepare poultry for the table.
But the rest is very good. It covers day to day topics and the herbal cures given are not exotic and you can grow most of the herbs in your own garden.

Product Description
The book, over 30 years in the making and based on worldwide research about the history and evolution of Oriental poultry races with a detailed description, their origin, distribution and current day breeding status worldwide, is a long needed work while nothing like it has been published for over fifty years. This book provides in detail educational information about the ancestors of domestic chickens, whereby it traces the origin of many ancient poultry breeds, how and where they were developed many generations ago for the purpose of sportsmanship before cockfighting was banned in most countries. But that has not stopped enthusiasts and fanciers to save many of these species from extinction and rather promoting them through a worldwide interest in exhibitions competitions, whereby in Germany alone are national poultry exhibitions with over 40,000 and even to 60,000 entries every year excite the public in tough competitions as covered in this work. Moreover, the reader will learn everything essential about purposeful breeding and preserving these breeds for future generations to come. The over 250 pictures of some 35 breeds shown in this book have been collected from various sources worldwide, many are of birds bred and photographed by the author giving the reader information not available elsewhere, which includes a today's analysis of the sport of cockfighting as well as extensive information on genetics of the rarest species. ...

After reading the raving reviews from different sources about this book I had to buy it and must say, it is the most concise and informative book on the subject with hundreds of excellent color photos of gamefowl breeds from all over the world, Japan, Thailand,Pakistan, Europe etc. The book goes beyong just the description and development of the many gamefowl breeds all over the world, it deals with their breeding, feeding and maintenance and the use for cockfighting in countries where it is still a national sport and part of their culture. I can recommend it to anybody connected with gamefowl and interested in such research. ... Read more

Product Description

When the first edition of Poultry Meat Processing was published, it provided a complete presentation of the theoretical and practical aspects of poultry meat processing, exploring the complex mix of biology, chemistry, engineering, marketing, and economics involved. Upholding its reputation as the most comprehensive text available, Poultry Meat Processing, Second Edition is thoroughly expanded and updated.

Understand the Theoretical and Practical Aspects of Processing Poultry From Farm to Fork

Now containing even more illustrations, this completely revised second edition features:

  • Three new chapters - Nutritive Value of Poultry Meat, Coproducts and By-products from Poultry Processing, and Poultry Processing Under Animal Welfare and Organic Standards in the U.S.
  • New techniques for assessing poultry meat tenderness, equivalency scales for sensory and instrumental tenderness measurements, and calculations for marination
  • Significant updates on primary, secondary, and further processing to reflect changes in the processing industry

This extremely informative textbook covers the gamut of poultry processing, including live bird production, muscle protein functionality, processing plant operations (primary, secondary, and further processing), quality and safety of poultry products, inspection systems, and wastewater management. It provides the steps and conditions used in poultry processing and discusses why they are necessary. In addition to its academic use, this valuable work serves as an essential reference for researchers, industry personnel, and extension specialists and agents seeking to expand their knowledge.

Product Description
This book describes the biological basis of reproduction in poultry and places this information in the context of poultry production. The author has collated and integrated recent information from a variety of sources in order to highlight the principles of the reproductive biology of poultry. This is achieved through a well-illustrated and tabulated text which emphasizes integration rather than comprehensive literature citations. The book begins by considering the egg, proceeds to a brief description of embryonic and chick development as they relate to poultry production, and describes the physiological processes that lead to formation of the fertile egg. It concludes with a discussion of the relationship between measurements of reproductive success that are commonly used in the poultry industry and their ability to reflect the physiological processes that contribute to successful reproduction. The book is aimed at advanced undergraduates or graduate students studying animal reproduction or agriculture, as well as scientists working in the poultry industry. ... Read more

Product Description

From the acclaimed author of Population: 485 and Truck: A Love Story comes a humorous, heartfelt memoir of a new life in the country.

Living in a ramshackle Wisconsin farmhouse—faced with thirty-seven acres of fallen fences and overgrown fields, and informed by his pregnant wife that she intends to deliver their baby at home—Michael Perry plumbs his unorthodox childhood for clues to how to proceed as a farmer, a husband, and a father. Whether he's remembering his younger days—when his city-bred parents took in sixty or so foster children while running a sheep and dairy farm—or describing what it's like to be bitten in the butt while wrestling a pig, Perry flourishes in his trademark humor. But he also writes from the quieter corners of his heart, chronicling experiences as joyful as the birth of his child and as devastating as the death of a dear friend.

Amazon.com Review
Book Description

In over his head with two pigs, a dozen chickens, and a baby due any minute, the acclaimed author of Truck: A Love Story gives us a humorous, heartfelt memoir of a new life in the country.

Last seen sleeping off his wedding night in the back of a 1951 International Harvester pickup, Michael Perry is now living in a rickety Wisconsin farmhouse. Faced with thirty-seven acres of fallen fences and overgrown fields, and informed by his pregnant wife that she intends to deliver their baby at home, Perry plumbs his unorthodox childhood—his city-bred parents took in more than a hundred foster children while running a ramshackle dairy farm—for clues to how to proceed as a farmer, a husband, and a father.

And when his daughter Amy starts asking about God, Perry is called upon to answer questions for which he's not quite prepared. He muses on his upbringing in an obscure fundamentalist Christian sect and weighs the long-lost faith of his childhood against the skeptical alternative ("You cannot toss your seven-year-old a copy of Being and Nothingness").

Whether Perry is recalling his childhood ("I first perceived my father as a farmer the night he drove home with a giant lactating Holstein tethered to the bumper of his Ford Falcon") or what it's like to be bitten in the butt while wrestling a pig ("two firsts in one day"), Coop is filled with the humor his readers have come to expect. But Perry also writes from the quieter corners of his heart, chronicling experiences as joyful as the birth of his child and as devastating as the death of a dear friend.

Alternately hilarious, tender, and as real as pigs in mud, Coop is suffused with a contemporary desire to reconnect with the earth, with neighbors, with meaning . . . and with chickens.

Amazon Exclusive: Marshaling Memories by Mike Perry

In forming a recollection of that compelling moment when I laid my tongue upon a frozen hammerhead--an act some forty years past--I trust my memory completely. I give this trust based on the electric clarity with which I can resurrect the physical sensation of my taste buds tacking themselves to the subzero steel with a merciless subcellular crinkle. I see no need to verify this reminiscence by licking additional frozen hammers. Still, memory is a notoriously unreliable narrator, and therefore, whenever possible, I rummage around for verification. Sometimes it is as simple as calling Mom. When you took my brother Jud to the Frost-Top Drive-In on his first day with the family after the social worker dropped him off, did he (as I recall) really eat his hamburger, wrapper and all? He ate the wrapper, says Mom, but it was a hot dog. And so the correction is made.* In other instances the verification is archival. Seeming to remember that I experienced my first religious conversion after a spate of bad behavior in third grade, I traveled to the grade school of my childhood and was allowed to rummage through a box in the subterranean boiler room until I found my third grade report cards. The following excerpt served as evidence that yes, the third grade me was in need of spiritual improvement. Also, my third grade teacher wasn’t a top hand with the typewriter:
Student Attitude to Date:
Work Habits: Continues to Waste Time. Mike appears to belligerent\when asked to get to work.

A mother's handwriting.Welcome home.
In other cases we strive not for verification but elicitation. In looking at the first photo on the right I can recall what it was like to be a shirtless farm boy in the sun; the straw-like smell of the stubble and how it pricked the soles of my bare feet; and, out of the blue, an unexpected emotional wallop as I recognize my mother’s handwriting and realize that the evocation of a person hardly requires their likeness. Literal traces will do.

Sometimes--and I am not speaking here of fabrication--we must construct memories we never retained. Poorly-lit as it is, the secpnd photo tells me much about my world as it was on my third day of life: that my father was the type of man who would grab a sheet of discarded stock from the paper mill of his employment and fashion a sign to welcome his wife and firstborn son home from the hospital; that the big ship painting currently hanging upstairs in my parents farmhouse has been in the family since the beginning; and finally (this required close study until I made out the rocking chair in the shadows, and further realized that the two strips of shininess visible toward the right side of the piano were reflected from the gilded pages of two bibles), I was able to conjure the week-old me, safe in my mother’s arms, the Word of God close at hand, belief and unbelief yet to come.

*The question of Mom as unreliable narrator is not to be raised. Shame on you.

1-0 out of 5 stars What a Fraud!
While I wouldn't say that I enjoy every book I read, it is not often that I feel I have actually been defrauded in the purchase of a book.But this is that rare example.

"Coop" purports to be about a family and their efforts to raise chickens and hogs.This is one of my favorite genre, so I picked it up at an airport connection.(I should have looked more carefully - the blurbs are from essentially nobodies.)

I'm up to about page 200 and so far the total number of pages discussing chickens, chickens coops, eggs, and pigs is probably less than 15....! Where is that "pursuit of one good egg" in your next book?

The 200 pages have basically been made up of folksy reminiscences that are so gauzy and positive as to essentially be treacly.This candy is way too sweet.The author's constant attempts to be self-effacing are also not convincing.

When you finally thrown this down in disgust, go read Noel Perrin's "First-Person Rural" series, you will not be disappointed.Page after page of the rank amateur trying to make a part-time farm function.

5-0 out of 5 stars Best so far
Michael Perry continues to provide humerous and emotional insight to his rural life.He certainly is walking his own path.

4-0 out of 5 stars Life On A Farm Is Not Simple
Many memoirist have a hard time pulling off the self-depreciating humor angle, Perry is definitely a writer that stands out from the rest.He uses his humble beginnings and his misadventures in farming and family to bring the reader into his world. With just the right amount of wit, you see Michael Perry for the kind and considerate father and man that make this world a better place.

In Coop, Michael and his wife share a one-year adventure on 35plus acres of land, with the combining of family, farm and a new child on the way life just is not the simple journey that he remembers with parents that made due in rather unique ways and friends that come to the rescue with inventive solutions to the daily traumas that farm life brings.

If you are looking for a true "farming" book, this is not it, but if you are looking for laugh out loud moments on a farm with a clueless farmer and his flock of family and friends than I highly recommends this book.However, do note that there are gut wrenching moments that will bring tears to your eyes and that will take the reader on a full circle of human emotions.

4-0 out of 5 stars This is a delightful little book......
It outlines the ordinary lives of ordinary people and provides many chuckles.By all means, read this light-hearted story.You will find a tear or two mixed in but it's feel good writing from beginning to end.

5-0 out of 5 stars Give this book to EVERYONE!
"Coop"
"A Year Of Poultry, Pigs, and Parenting"

by Michael Perry

Book Review by Jay Gilbertson

The widely popular author of "Population-485, Truck" and many others (and he sings too) is back doing what he does best--chronicling Wisconsin rural life. If you ever considered having a pen full of pigs and chasing chickens while trying to make various writing deadlines--toss in a wife and kids, an array of colorful memories, and you have the basic ingredients of Perry's latest work; "Coop."

The author has penned a memoir of a year in the life of a dairy farmer's son who struggles with the fact that--he an't like his Daddy. Meaning--Perry is no farmer. That's the underlying root that Perry wrestles with, and boy does it seem to drive him crazy. It's the writing that kept me turning the pages even though, more times than not, I had to consult the computer for definitions of Perry's unique word choices. Though it's obvious he's a brilliant wordsmith, he shines brightest when describing his world as he trudges his way through it. The man drinks up experiences and reflects back on them in a refreshingly imaginative way that carries the seemingly mundane daily farm life into new realms.

Throughout the year, Perry laments that he has yet to build his dream coop and from the constant self-deprecating banter he unfurls about his lack of building skills, I really had to wonder why in the world he didn't just hire the job out? Standing by his side is the near-saintly wife who can inspire affection in Perry by simply performing a farmer-snort, (think air hanky and you're close) births their baby at home and can butcher a deer on the dining room table like no one's business. Sounds like a match made in heaven and perfect material for a darn good read.

Perry adopts his wife's child from a previous marriage and `Amy' begins asking about God and this, in turn, throws Perry into a really sticky situation. It seems that his parents were (and still are) Fundamentalists belonging to a rather obscure sect called simply "Truth." Though he never comes right out and says it, Perry seemed less than impressed with religion overall and disappointed in the specific one his parents hauled him off to as a young boy. Yet, after their second child is born, Perry and family head off in search of the right church in hopes of re-creating the foundation that his parents had given him.

The most moving passages in this work were the horribly sad deaths that Perry experienced during the writing of, "Coop." Several friends pass away and leave Perry in a mist of memories that have the power to pull and tug him in countless directions. Then his brother's son drowns in a pond and it is here that Perry lays all bare, displaying his greatest gift. Perry understands loss and despair in all its endless depth and expresses it with a full pallet of emotion; his introspection within this realm is simply extraordinary.

And yes, in the end, Perry builds his coop--and--it's cool.

Editorial Review

Product Description

This authoritative book will be of enormous value to all those with an interest in hobby poultry keeping and breeding. Comprehensive in its coverage, it examines housing, feeding, incubation, and chick rearing, and the care of a wide range of pure breeds, some of which have special requirements that are not provided for by normal poultry keeping methods. All of the most popular breeds of chicken, bantams, and turkeys are considered and attention is also paid to commercial hybrids. Those breeds of chicken that are not covered in the book are very rare and are unlikely to be available to beginners. Poultry clubs and shows, the meeting places of pure breed enthusiasts, are also discussed and the author provides advice on how to exhibit pure-bred chickens at officially organized shows.
