Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
Challenges in Balancing Optimal Welfare and Sustainability in Poultry covers systems that simultaneously prioritize animal welfare and sustainability. A variety of poultry species are covered, as well as various management practices that prioritize health and wellness of birds along with reduced carbon footprints, reduced use of non-renewable resources, and improved production efficiency. The book is grounded in research that has guided what constitutes optimal animal welfare across a range of poultry species and how the housing and management practices may align with sustainability goals across production efficiency, natural capital, carbon footprint, and social acceptance.
Academic and industry researchers and stakeholders won't want to miss this forward-thinking book that has gathered research from top experts in the field from around the globe.
