Download or read book Animal Agriculture written by Fuller W. Bazer and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animal Agriculture: Sustainability, Challenges and Innovations discusses the land-based production of high-quality protein by livestock and poultry and how it plays an important role in improving human nutrition, growth and health. With exponential growth of the global population and marked rises in meat consumption per capita, demands for animal-source protein are expected to increase 72% between 2013 and 2050. This raises concerns about the sustainability and environmental impacts of animal agriculture. An attractive solution to meeting increasing needs for animal products and mitigating undesirable effects of agricultural practices is to enhance the efficiency of animal growth, reproduction, and lactation. Currently, there is no resource that offers specific knowledge of both animal science and technology, including biotechnology for the sustainability of animal agriculture for the expanding global demand of food in the face of diminishing resources. This book fills that gap, giving readers all the necessary information on important issues facing modern animal agriculture, namely its sustainability, challenges and innovative solutions. Integrates new knowledge in animal breeding, biotechnology, nutrition, reproduction and management Addresses the urgent issue of sustainability in modern animal agriculture Provides practical solutions on how to solve the current and future problems that face animal agriculture worldwide
Download or read book Rangeland Systems written by David D. Briske and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-12 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY-NC 2.5 license. This book provides an unprecedented synthesis of the current status of scientific and management knowledge regarding global rangelands and the major challenges that confront them. It has been organized around three major themes. The first summarizes the conceptual advances that have occurred in the rangeland profession. The second addresses the implications of these conceptual advances to management and policy. The third assesses several major challenges confronting global rangelands in the 21st century. This book will compliment applied range management textbooks by describing the conceptual foundation on which the rangeland profession is based. It has been written to be accessible to a broad audience, including ecosystem managers, educators, students and policy makers. The content is founded on the collective experience, knowledge and commitment of 80 authors who have worked in rangelands throughout the world. Their collective contributions indicate that a more comprehensive framework is necessary to address the complex challenges confronting global rangelands. Rangelands represent adaptive social-ecological systems, in which societal values, organizations and capacities are of equal importance to, and interact with, those of ecological processes. A more comprehensive framework for rangeland systems may enable management agencies, and educational, research and policy making organizations to more effectively assess complex problems and develop appropriate solutions.
Download or read book Population and Production Dynamics written by Chandra Neel Dubey and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present book is the outcomes of the research work carried out by the authors during Post-graduate studies. It consist eight chapter including summary. The purpose of study is to find out the compositional changes, trend and growth rate of various livestock viz., cattle, buffalo, sheep, goat, horse, pig and poultry in different division of Uttar Pradesh and also for livestock production viz., milk, wool, egg and meat for whole state. The chapter-I introduces the subject of investigation and main objectives of this study. The times series data on livestock population pertaining the period 1923 to 2003 and for livestock production the period 1992 to 2007 were used for investigation of trend and growth of livestock population and production. The relevant statistical tool and technology have been used for the purpose of investigation mention above. In present investigation overall it can calculated that the population of cattle, sheep, horse and total livestock have decreased while that rates of buffaloes and goat nominally increased. The population of pig and poultry increased with substantial growth rates in most of the divisions of Uttar Pradesh and in state as whole.

Book excerpt: The book entitled 'Genetics of Livestock Population' has been divided in 3 parts comprising 27 chapters. The first part of 13 chapters has been devoted to the genetic structure of population in equilibrium state for different genetic systems and the changes occurred under the influence of evolutionary forces, population size and mating systems for qualitative characters. The second part comprises 10 chapters covering the partitioning of phenotypic value, variance and covariance of quantitative characters in to different components attributed to additive and non-additive genetic effects. The last part of 4 chapters of the book deal with the biometrical techniques viz. univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis and path analysis. Hope this book will be of immense use to the post graduate students, teachers and those appearing in different All India Competitive Examinations like NET, SRF, and ARS conducted by ASRB (ICAR) as well as by UGC and UPSC. The subject matter has been presented in single volume in a more meaningful and desired manner and simple language with numerical examples.

Download or read book Gridded Livestock of the World 2007 written by William Wint and published by Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO). This book was released on 2007 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Informed livestock-sector policy development and planning requires reliable and accessible information about the distribution and abundance of livestock. To that end, and in collaboration with the Environmental Research Group Oxford (ERGO), FAO has developed the “Gridded livestock of the world” spatial database: the first standardized global, subnational resolution maps of the major agricultural livestock species. This publication describes how available livestock data have been collected and then enhanced by statistical modelling to produce a digital, georeferenced global dataset. It also provides varied and extensive examples of some of the applications for which the data have been used. The publication is intended to provide a formal reference for the dataset and to stimulate further applications and feedback from those most concerned with the development of the livestock sector, be they policy-makers, researchers, producers or practitioners in livestock-sector development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) produced a 2011 report on women in agriculture with a clear and urgent message: agriculture underperforms because half of all farmers—women—lack equal access to the resources and opportunities they need to be more productive. This book builds on the report’s conclusions by providing, for a non-specialist audience, a compendium of what we know now about gender gaps in agriculture.
