The book begins with an overview of the historical evolution of world beef consumption and introductory chapters on carcass and meat quality, market preparation and world beef production. North America, Brazil, China, South-East Asia and Japan are discussed in separate chapters, followed by Australian beef production, including feed lotting and live export. The remaining chapters summarise R&D, emphasising the Australian experience, and look at different production systems and aspects of animal husbandry such as health, reproduction, grazing, feeding and finishing, genetics and breeding, production efficiency, environmental management and business management. The final chapter examines various case studies in northern and southern Australia, covering feed demand and supply, supplements, pasture management, heifer and weaner management, and management of internal and external parasites.

Download or read book Applications of Seasonal Climate Forecasting in Agricultural and Natural Ecosystems written by Graeme L. Hammer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate variability has major impacts in many parts of the world, including Australia. Developments in understanding of the El Niño - Southern Oscillation Phenomenon have introduced some skill in seasonal to inter-annual climate forecasting. Can this skill be harnessed to advantage? Or do we just continue to observe these impacts? How does a decision-maker managing an agricultural or natural ecosystem modify decisions in response to a skillful, but imprecise, seasonal climate forecast? Using Australian experience as a basis, this book focuses on these questions in pursuing means to better manage climate risks. The state of the science in climate forecasting is reviewed before considering detailed examples of applications to: farm scale agricultural decisions (such as management of cropping and grazing systems); regional and national scale agricultural decisions (such as commodity trading and government policy); and natural systems (such as water resources, pests and diseases, and natural fauna). Many of the examples highlight the participatory and inter-disciplinary approach required among decision-makers, resource systems scientists/analysts, and climate scientists to bring about the effective applications. The experiences discussed provide valuable insights beyond the geographical and disciplinary focus of this book. The book is ideally suited to professionals and postgraduate students in ecology, agricultural climatology, environmental planning, and climate science.

Download or read book Australian Beef Production and Exports written by Nina Swann and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extract: Australia is a major producer and exporter of beef and veal. In 1982, Australia exported 628 kilotons of beef and veal valued at US $1,177 million. Half of Australia's beef and veal was imported by the United States and Japan. The Australian cattle industry depends on grazing; consequently, number of cattle, slaughter, and production have fluctuated considerably from droughts, diseases, cattle cycles, and changing export markets. The United States and Australia significantly affect one another's beef industries. The United States influences the Australian beef and veal industry indirectly through beef cycle price changes, and directly through the Countercyclical Meat Import Law. Australia will continue to compete strongly with the United States in beef export markets.

Download or read book Agroclimatology written by Jerry L. Hatfield and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can we unlock resilience to climate stress by better understanding linkages between the environment and biological systems? Agroclimatology allows us to explore how different processes determine plant response to climate and how climate drives the distribution of crops and their productivity. Editors Jerry L. Hatfield, Mannava V.K. Sivakumar, and John H. Prueger have taken a comprehensive view of agroclimatology to assist and challenge researchers in this important area of study. Major themes include: principles of energy exchange and climatology, understanding climate change and agriculture, linkages of specific biological systems to climatology, the context of pests and diseases, methods of agroclimatology, and the application of agroclimatic principles to problem-solving in agriculture.

Download or read book The Australian Beef Report written by Ian McLean and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-22 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Australian Beef Report is an independent publication detailing and analysing the financial and production performance of grass-fed beef industry in Australia. It has been written for profit focussed beef producers, industry service professionals and other industry stakeholders who would like to better understand, and improve, beef business performance in Australia.It reports on the performance of specialist, family owned, beef businesses in Australia. The industry is broken up into North (QLD, NT and the northern half of WA) and South (NSW, VIC, TAS, SA and southern half of WA) for the analysis. Within these two halves of Australia there is segmentation and analysis of the north and south by herd size, market and region. For each cohort, the performance is analysed at the business level (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Whole Business Key Performance Indicator's) and at enterprise level (Herd Income Statement and Herd Key Performance Indicator's) for both the average of the cohort and the Top 25% of businesses.This analysis allows the performance of the industry by region, herd size and market to be thoroughly analysed. The factors which separate the top performers are detailed, with pathways and options to improve the financial performance of beef businesses are clearly identified.Insights and wisdom from a panel of producers from across the beef industry are also included in the report. This 'Pastoral Panel' share their hard-won experience and unique perspectives, and have opened a window into their character in doing so. Their responses are frank, insightful, sometimes contrary, but unfailingly thought provoking. The Australian Beef industry is the largest land manager in Australia, managing nearly 50% of the land mass and its long-term performance is determined by how well it manages that natural resource base. A chapter has therefore been included on the 'The Effective Utilisation and Preservation of the Natural Resource Base', prepared by industry experts with practical understanding of both the established science and the latest research.Land values, terms of trade, industry productivity, herd rebuilding post drought, climate risk management and beef prices are also discussed in this valuable resource for the beef industry.
