Book excerpt: Behaviour is a significant indicator of health in animals and understanding behaviour is the key to good management. Animal behaviour and animal welfare science are fast becoming core topics in the curriclua of agriculture and veterinary students. The eagerly awaited fourth edition of Farm Animal Behaviour and Welfare builds on the coverage of the previous edition, fully updating it to take into account developments over the last 10 years. This new edition covers companion animals as well as farm animal species including farmed fish. It is an indispensible textbook covering the major and growing areas in agricultural and veterinary science and practice. There is now a 5th Edition of this book for sale.

Book Welfare of the Laying Hen

Download or read book Welfare of the Laying Hen written by G. C. Perry and published by CABI. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The welfare of egg-producing poultry is a topic of great concern to the poultry industry and to researchers in applied animal behaviour. It is also subject to increased legislation. Issues such as battery cages, space requirements, access to daylight and ''free-range'' eggs have attracted public interest.

Book The gestating and lactating sow

Download or read book The gestating and lactating sow written by Chantal Farmer and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-09-04 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last book on the lactating sow was published over 15 years ago. This new book brings us up to date in current knowledge on the gestating and lactating sow. It covers new and important topics such as conditioning of gilts for optimal reproductive performance, feeding high fibre diets to gestating sows and providing various fat sources in gestation and lactation. It also describes the several key success factors to group-housing systems in gestation, which is a must due to the current move towards group-housing. The new concept of transition feeding for sows is discussed, as well as the factors involved in mammary development of gilts and sows, both of which are instrumental for maximum colostrum and/or milk yields. The impact of the human-animal interactions on sow welfare and performance is discussed with focus on new handling practices that could be developed to overbalance the negative interactions inherent to pig management systems. Updates on must-have topics, such as amino acid and energy requirements of sows, colostrum and milk yield and composition, and sow health are also provided. The subjects covered in this book will assist animal scientists, nutritionists, veterinarians and swine producers in learning the most recent information on relevant and current topics affecting sow production, and in knowing which areas are in need of further research efforts.

Book Proceedings of the 50th Congress of the International Society for Applied Ethology

Download or read book Proceedings of the 50th Congress of the International Society for Applied Ethology written by Cathy Dwyer and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-09-04 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the abstracts of the presentations presented at the 50th annual meeting of the International Society for Applied Ethology (ISAE), held in Edinburgh, UK. The enduring aim of the ISAE is to encourage and support basic and applied research into the behaviour of animals as related to their use by humans. Ever since a small group of veterinarians first met in Edinburgh to form the Society of Veterinary Ethology (SVE), inspirational ethologists and veterinarians have helped shape the field of Applied Ethology. Scientists such as Niko Tinbergen, Karl Von Frisch and Konrad Lorenz, joint awardees of the 1973 Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine, have played an important part in helping to develop this subject. The 2016 ISAE conference will bring together applied ethologists from all over the world to share new discoveries and to discuss ways forward, under the general conference theme of 'Past and Future: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants'.

Book The Welfare of Domestic Fowl and Other Captive Birds

Download or read book The Welfare of Domestic Fowl and Other Captive Birds written by Ian J. H. Duncan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-12-29 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animal welfare is attracting increasing interest worldwide, especially in developed countries where the knowledge and resources are available to (at least potentially) provide better management systems for farm animals, as well as companion, zoo and laboratory animals. The key requirements for adequate food, water, a suitable environment, appropriate companionship and good health are important for animals kept for all of these purposes. There has been increased attention given to farm animal welfare in many co- tries in recent years. This derives largely from the fact that the relentless pursuit of nancial reward and ef ciency, to satisfy market demands, has led to the devel- ment of intensive animal production systems that challenge the conscience of many consumers in those countries. In developing countries, human survival is still a daily uncertainty, so that p- vision for animal welfare has to be balanced against human needs. Animal welfare is usually a priority only if it supports the output of the animal, be it food, work, clothing, sport or companionship. In principle the welfare needs of both humans and animals can be provided for, in both developing and developed countries, if resources are properly husbanded. In reality, however, the inequitable division of the world’s riches creates physical and psychological poverty for humans and a- mals alike in many parts of the world.

Book Application of Spectroscopy in Agricultural Environment and Livestock Breeding

Download or read book Application of Spectroscopy in Agricultural Environment and Livestock Breeding written by Leizi Jiao and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-08-29 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intelligent agriculture is the inevitable trend of future agriculture. As the brain of intelligent agriculture, advanced sensors determine the degree of agricultural environment and crop perception. However, an outstanding problem is the long-standing lack of effective sensing and monitoring tools in agriculture. Most information still relies on time-consuming and complex laboratory analysis and can only be off-line measured. Therefore, in-situ, on-line and sensitive methods for monitoring information about the agricultural environment and crops are urgently needed. With the development of material science, manufacturing technology and spectroscopy, more and more fast and high-precision spectroscopic methods and sensors are applied in the agricultural environment, livestock breeding and crop. Especially with the development of spectral enhancement, image processing and deep learning techniques, the study of the advanced spectroscopic methods to rapidly and precisely detect heavy metals and nutrients in the soil, harmful gas, water pollutant and crop stress will reduce the probability of subjective error judgment and improves agricultural management and production efficiency. Application of spectroscopy in an agricultural environment and livestock breeding is a research topic of Frontiers in Physics that publishes original research on the field of agricultural physics. And the aim of this research topic is to explore novel and groundbreaking spectroscopic methods to rapidly and in-situ detect information about the agricultural environment, livestock breeding and crop stress, which could be beneficial in the development of Intelligent agriculture.
