Download or read book Grass Productivity An Introduction to Rational Grazing written by Dr. Robert C. Worstell and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-01-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SIMPLE questions often help us to understand problems better; and I think it indispensable, at the beginning of this work, to ask a question which appears simple in the extreme: "What is grazing?" The answer is generally as follows: "Causing grass to be eaten by an animal." That is correct! But here is another answer which, to my mind, is more realistic: "Causing the grass and the animal to meet." Since this book is almost exclusively concerned with grazing by cattle, I propose the following definition to the reader, requesting him to allow it to become well impressed upon his mind: Grazing is the meeting of cow and grass. It is by satisfying as far as possible the demands of both parties that we will arrive at a rational grazing, which will provide us with maximum productivity on the part of the grass while at the same time allowing the cow to give optimum performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toxic Plants of North America, Second Edition is an up-to-date, comprehensive reference for both wild and cultivated toxic plants on the North American continent. In addition to compiling and presenting information about the toxicology and classification of these plants published in the years since the appearance of the first edition, this edition significantly expands coverage of human and wildlife—both free-roaming and captive—intoxications and the roles of secondary compounds and fungal endophytes in plant intoxications. More than 2,700 new literature citations document identification of previously unknown toxicants, mechanisms of intoxication, additional reports of intoxication problems, and significant changes in the classification of plant families and genera and associated changes in plant nomenclature. Toxic Plants of North America, Second Edition is a comprehensive, essential resource for veterinarians, toxicologists, agricultural extension agents, animal scientists, and poison control professionals.
Download or read book Periparturient Diseases of Cattle written by Tanmoy Rana and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-12-24 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manage the health of cattle at a critical stage with this essential reference Milk is one of the backbones of the global food economy, with its high vitamin content and key contribution to bone health. As a result, dairy farming is one of the most essential sectors of the global agricultural market, and the health of cattle is an issue of global importance. Periparturient diseases, those sustained in the period immediately before, during, and after giving birth, have a potentially devastating impact on the reproductive cycle of cattle, and an understanding of these conditions is a critical aspect of food production. Periparturient Diseases of Cattle offers a comprehensive overview of these diseases, their pathogenesis, and their treatments. Summarizing all of the major periparturient disorders, their etiology, and their management, it is a critical resource for veterinary practitioners and others for whom cattle health is of fundamental importance. As a reference, a diagnostic aid, and a tool in farm management, this volume is indispensable. Periparturient Diseases of Cattle readers will also find: In-depth description of disease advancement Detailed treatment of disorders including metritis, mastitis, ketosis, and many more Color figures and line drawings to illustrate key concepts Periparturient Diseases of Cattle is ideal for student and working veterinarians, academicians, farm managers, industrialists, farm owners, and many more.
Download or read book Forages Volume 1 written by Michael Collins and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-09-14 with total page 767 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forages, Volume I, Seventh Edition is the most comprehensive text available for teachers of undergraduate Forages courses. This edition will provide students with a good balance of scientific principles, to aid in integrating the concepts they learn, and practical information on forage identification, plant characteristics, management, and utilization that can be used by forage management practitioners. Grassland ecosystems are extremely complex, including the plant/animal interface as well as the soil/climate/forage interface and the text must support understanding and integration of all of these considerations. The coverage of the science behind the plant characteristics and responses make the book applicable in many parts of the world, while other region-specific management information relates mainly to North America. This edition has been updated to address emerging areas of study, including the use of forage plants as bioenergy crops. The editors also address the renewed national interest in environmental issues such as water quality, global climate change and eutrophication in the Gulf. This edition also addresses the role of forages for wildlife habitat and food sources, another area of increased interest in recent years. These revisions respond to the generational change taking place among forage scientists and teachers in recent years.
