Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Livestock Situation, Vol. 29: November 1941 Despite the large increase in cattle slaughter during the past 6 months over that of a year earlier, cattle numbers are expected to show a considerable increase during 1941. The total number of cattle and calves on farms at the beginning of 1942 probably will be only a little smaller than the record high number reached in 1934. Cattle numbers have been in creasing since 1938. If this upward trend should continue for a year or so longer, marketings at the end of that time would.be exceptionally large, and this would almost certainly result in very low cattle prices. Hence, the long-time position of the cattle industry will be greatly improved if numbers do not increase much more in 1942 and later years. The national goal for cattle and calves in 1942 is one of increased marketings rather than increased production. As indicated in the above paragraph, the long-time outlook for the cattle industry will be improved if marketings and slaughter are increased next year. A slaughter of this size will about offset the likely increase in numbers next year resulting from the calf crop and probable imports.

This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Livestock Situation, Vol. 26: August 1941 Compiled from reports of the Agricultural Marketing Service. Reports received from cattle feeders indicate that most of the increase over a year earlier is in cattle which have been on feed since before the first of the year. These reports show that about he percent of the total number have been on feed for over 7 months, compared with 31 percent last year; that about 33 percent have been on feed from h to 7 months as against 29 percent last year; and that the number on feed for less than N months accounted for only 26 percent of the total compared with NO percent last year. These reports check fairly closely with the January 1 indication that feeder calves made up a larger preportion of the cattle on food than was the case a year earlier and with.the report 3 months later that the preportion of the cattle on feed April 1 to be marketed after July 1 was larger than a year earlier.

Download or read book Livestock in a Changing Landscape Volume 1 written by Henning Steinfeld and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2013-03-06 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapidly changing nature of animal production systems, especially increasing intensification and globalization, is playing out in complex ways around the world. Over the last century, livestock keeping evolved from a means of harnessing marginal resources to produce items for local consumption to a key component of global food chains. Livestock in a Changing Landscape offers a comprehensive examination of these important and far-reaching trends. The books are an outgrowth of a collaborative effort involving international nongovernmental organizations including the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (UN FAO), the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), the Swiss College of Agriculture (SHL), the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD), and the Scientific Committee for Problems of the Environment (SCOPE). Volume 1 examines the forces shaping change in livestock production and management; the resulting impacts on landscapes, land use, and social systems; and potential policy and management responses. Volume 2 explores needs and draws experience from region-specific contexts and detailed case studies. The case studies describe how drivers and consequences of change play out in specific geographical areas, and how public and private responses are shaped and implemented. Together, the volumes present new, sustainable approaches to the challenges created by fundamental shifts in livestock management and production, and represent an essential resource for policy makers, industry managers, and academics involved with this issue.
Download or read book Animal Subjects Volume 1 written by Caroline Hovanec and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-06 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animal Subjects identifies a new understanding of animals in modernist literature and science. Drawing on Darwin's evolutionary theory, British writers and scientists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries began to think of animals as subjects dwelling in their own animal worlds. Both science and literature aimed to capture the complexity of animal life, and their shared attention to animals pulled the two disciplines closer together. It led scientists to borrow the literary techniques of fiction and poetry, and writers to borrow the observational methods of zoology. Animal Subjects tracks the coevolution of literature and zoology in works by H. G. Wells, Aldous Huxley, D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, and modern scientists including Julian Huxley, Charles Elton, and J. B. S. Haldane. Examining the rise of ecology, ethology, and animal psychology, this book shows how new, subject-centered approaches to the study of animals transformed literature and science in the modernist period.

Download or read book Omics Applied to Livestock Genetics volume II written by Lucas Lima Verardo and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-09-04 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first draft of a mammalian genome, we have seen large numbers of high throughput studies including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, epigenomics, and metabolomics with the aim of better understanding the various biological molecules; DNA, RNA, proteins, and metabolites. These studies, collectively called “omics”, revolutionized genetic research in the last two decades, with a huge potential in livestock. There are several opportunities for livestock omics to amplify our knowledge of genetic variation in the main economical traits of the main production species. The big data produced by livestock “omics” projects has been made publicly available to researchers trying to implement and improve animal production through means besides environmental sustainability. Additionally, the “omics” approach can be holistically applied to improve animal breeding approaches and provide a better understanding of the genetic architecture of the species.

This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Livestock and Meat Situation, Vol. 91: August 1957 If general economic factors affecting cattle remain about as in 1957, numbers might not decrease as long or as far as usual. The low point might come in 1959 or 1960, and at around 92 million head. This is an estimate built on year-to-year projections of cow numbers, calf cr0p and slaughter rate, summary data for which are in table 6. A reduction in cattle inventories begins when prices (current and prospective) are unprofitably low relative to the factors involved in produc tion. Range and feed conditions, costs of purchased feeds, other cost rates, and the availability and cost of financing. Similarly, numbers are built up again when the price outlook is favorable relative to those factors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Vegan Studies written by Laura Wright and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wide-ranging volume explores the tension between the dietary practice of veganism and the manifestation, construction, and representation of a vegan identity in today’s society. Emerging in the early 21st century, vegan studies is distinct from more familiar conceptions of "animal studies," an umbrella term for a three-pronged field that gained prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s, consisting of critical animal studies, human animal studies, and posthumanism. While veganism is a consideration of these modes of inquiry, it is a decidedly different entity, an ethical delineator that for many scholars marks a complicated boundary between theoretical pursuit and lived experience. The Routledge Handbook of Vegan Studies is the must-have reference for the important topics, problems, and key debates in the subject area and is the first of its kind. Comprising over 30 chapters by a team of international contributors, this handbook is divided into five parts: History of vegan studies Vegan studies in the disciplines Theoretical intersections Contemporary media entanglements Veganism around the world These sections contextualize veganism beyond its status as a dietary choice, situating veganism within broader social, ethical, legal, theoretical, and artistic discourses. This book will be essential reading for students and researchers of vegan studies, animal studies, and environmental ethics.
