Download or read book Sustainable Rice Straw Management written by Martin Gummert and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book on straw management aims to provide a wide array of options for rice straw management that are potentially more sustainable, environmental, and profitable compared to current practice. The book is authored by expert researchers, engineers and innovators working on a range of straw management options with case studies from Vietnam, the Philippines and Cambodia. The book is written for engineers and researchers in order to provide them information on current good practice and the gaps and constraints that require further research and innovation. The book is also aimed at extension workers and farmers to help them decide on the best alternative straw management options in their area by presenting both the technological options as well as the value chains and business models required to make them work. The book will also be useful for policy makers, required by public opinion to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, looking for research-based evidence to guide the policies they develop and implement.

Download or read book Animal Production Based on Crop Residues written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2002 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's population accounts for about 22 per cent of the world's total population, but the country has only seven per cent of global farmland. In order to ensure a sufficient food supply to feed its population, the Chinese government has explored the use of non-traditional feed resources. This publication looks at China's national programme (APCR) to establish an animal production system based on the use of crop residues such as wheat and rice straw, abundant and widely spread fodder resources, rather than using the grain supply. Over the last decade, this programme has been expanded to cover the rearing of beef and dairy cattle, sheep, goats and buffalo; and has been regarded as the turning point to resolve the nation's feed problem.

Download or read book New Protein Foods written by Aaron M. Altschul and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Protein Foods, Volume 4: Animal Protein Supplies, Part B covers the realities of the world food problems, with special emphasis on protein supply. The book discusses the upper limits of livestock production; the government policy and the production of animal protein; and the nutritional and metabolic impact of variable protein intake in human. The text also describes the developments in pork production; issues in poultry production; as well as the use of small ruminants as food producers. The role of lysine and methionine fortification in animal and human nutrition is also considered. The book further tackles the use of microorganisms as feed and food protein; noncompetitive sources of carbohydrates for animal feeding; and recycling of animal wastes by feeding. The text concludes by discussing issues of affluent society malnutrition as the counterpart to the problems of scarcity. Nutritionists, agriculturists, economists, and people involved in public health and animal research will find the book invaluable.
