It begins with a section of traditional poultry farming where aspects on management, reproduction, feeding, lodging, ethnoveterinary, breeding and fattening are shown. It continues describing the typical way of slaughter and consumption of their meats. Next, a review of customs, games, folk tales and phraseology is made. Also abundant ethnographic parallels with pigs in the same area are shown.
