For this reason the future prospects of improved live-stock husbandry are most encouraging. Both types and breeds are receiving greatly increased attention, and many more are seriously interested in constructive breeding than ever before.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hints on the Breeding and Rearing of Farm Animals The Author of the following "Hints on the Breeding and Rearing of Animals" had the privilege of reading a paper on the subject in the summer of 1886 to the Fife Farmers' Club. The members present at the meeting expressed a unanimous wish that the paper should be published, and with this wish the author has now (though somewhat late) the pleasure of conforming, but in doing so he has thought it advisable to interpolate (where in his opinion it was advantageous to do so) remarks made by him in other addresses and papers published on various occasions during the last few years. These interpolations are enclosed in brackets. The author, in view of the large amount of public attention recently directed towards the subject, has materially extended his original remarks on abortion.

Download or read book Community and Cooperative Breeding of Farm Animals Classic Reprint written by Charles S. Plumb and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Community and Cooperative Breeding of Farm Animals Community breeding of farm animals is a feature associated with breed development and improvement. The history of the breeds of farm animals shows that, in communities more or less restricted in area, people first became interested in developing a type of livestock which, in their Opinion, was best suited to the local conditions, and rendered the largest returns for the food and care involved. Very naturally some breeders were more intelligent and more progressive than others, which was re eted in the class of animals they produced. These men found t selves working to ward a common end, even tho the effort was free of organization. In time the community became prominent for the excellence of the herds of these breeders. In Europe we find many sections, in each of which a certain breed has developed that has seemed to be pecu liarly fitted to the local environment. Examples of this sort may be found in the Hereford cattle of Herefordshire, the Percheron horses of La Perche, France, the Jersey cattle on the island of Jersey, the Berkshire swine of Berkshire, and the Shropshire sheep of Shropshire. These are illustrations that might be extended into a large number. Cooperative breeding of farm animals has invariably resulted from community breeding. Until in recent years, the plan of co operation has been a rather natural one - a group of men combining to establish a breed standard, to protect its purity, and provide means of record for herds or individuals. The first cooperative movement for the systematic promotion of a breed, was perhaps with the people on the island of Jersey, who in 1763 by legislation prohibited the introduction of other cattle to the island, excepting for slaughter. In England, thru cooperative effort, as early as 1820, a herd book showing the breeding of Shorthorn cattle was published. Eventually, cooperative organization became a necessity in promo tion of each of the established breeds, otherwise there would have been no means of standardizing the breed and protecting its purity.

Download or read book Breeding Plants and Animals Classic Reprint written by W. M. Hays and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Breeding Plants and Animals The Farm Students' Review in publishing in book form these papers by Prof. Willet M. Hays, now Assistant Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture, believes it is doing a public service, as well as undertaking a profitable enterprise for itself. These articles published in discontinuous parts covering two years in a weekly periodical, have not had a fair presentation even to the readers of the Breeders Gazette. While they were not designed to be brought together in a book, but rather became a part of a rapidly developing subject currently discussed in the periodical mentioned, they give in an emphatic way many of the theories of the author. The body of knowledge he gathered - after commencing investigations in animal breeding, but using many plants for theoretical experiments, for demonstrating that the science of breeding can be developed, and for the addition to wealth of the State and Nation - is here better ex-than in any of his earlier publications. It is believed by the Farm Students Review that breeders of animals, breeders of plants, scientists who are studying related problems, and students in agricultural schools will appreciate these papers in book form. The price has been placed low for a book of this size and character. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Farm Animals: A Practical Guide to the Choosing, Breeding, and Keep of Horses, Cattle, Sheep, and Swine From the above, it will be seen that the author's purpose is to discuss the general care and management of farm animals rather than the breeds. However, a knowledge of the breeds is necessary. To economize space and the reader's time, the writer has adopted the method of freely inserting pictures of good animals of many breeds, with liberal legends, letting 'them run as a minor motive throughout the book. By this plan it is hoped that some of the main characteristics of the breeds may be taken away by the reader with little effort on his part.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal Breeding Breeding a Science and an Art - Animal breed ing is at once a science and an art. It is a science in so far as it discovers and systematically arranges the truths and principles which relate to the improve ment of live stock. The value of in-and - in breeding, for instance, as a quick means of improvement illus trates such discovery. (see Chapter X.) It does not appear to have been known to the ancients. If it were thus known the knowledge was subsequently lost. The systematic arrangement of the truths and principles which relate to the science is yet far from complete, and it may be added, that many of these truths and principles are not yet understood. It is an art in so far as it successfully uses those principles in effecting improvement. The importance, there fore, of understanding the principles which make improvement possible will be at once apparent, since, until so understood, they cannot be turned to profit able account.

Davies and published by Vintage Dog Books. This book was released on 2005-09-01 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF BREEDING TO TYPE - ITS APPLICATION TO THE BREEDING OF DOGS, FARM ANIMALS, CAGE BIRDS AND OTHER SMALL PETS. By C.J. Davies. A VINTAGE DOG BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT. Originally published in 1928, this scarce early work on breeding to type is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have republished it, using the original text and photographs, as part of their CLASSIC BREED BOOKS series. The author was a highly respected breeder of his day who states: - "Breeding to type is the business of every farmer and fancier. No matter whether the breeder is dealing with show or merely useful stock, he is always consciously or unconsciously selecting and breeding for certain definite qualities which please his eye or promise to increase the value of the stock in which he is interested." The book's one hundred and eight pages consist of ten comprehensive chapters including six full page photos. Chapters deal with: - Breeding to Type. - False Doctrines. - Pedigree. - Modern Heredity. - Mendelism. - Establishing a Strain. - Inbreeding. - Methods of Mating. - Colour. - Heredity and Disease. - Early Maturity. - Sterility. Etc. Also included are a Breeders Table and a Table of Breeding Data. Breeding to type comes within the province of a great number of animal and bird fanciers, and is a subject upon which so many erroneous ideas are held. The author successfully attempts within these pages to place before breeders of every class of animal the rules which govern the production of standard types. Many of the earliest dog books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce, and increasingly expensive. VINTAGE DOG BOOKSare republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
