"A question and answer method of presentation is adopted in this book wherever appropriate with maximum emphasis on practical aspects so that the farmer can easily locate his question and find a solution quickly; scientific reasons are made as simple as possible so that the literate farmer will be able to understand them. Details regarding record keeping, profitability and insurance of the layer farm are given in addition to the information on the rearing of layers.

It is hoped that this publication would be useful to the farmers, who want/ can only start a small scale layer unit, as a handy ready reckoner on various aspects of production activity."
