Download or read book No Ordinary Goat written by Alison Sutherland and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a narrative style, 'No Ordinary Goat' tells the story of Captain Cook leaving goats on New Zealand's Arapawa Island, and provides evidence the goats, probably of the Old English breed, survived and multiplied. Two hundred years after Cook introduced the goats, they are discovered by an American woman living on the island who makes their presence known to the authorities. So begins the fight between a Government determined to eradicate the goats, and people equally determined to save them. Based on considerable research, the author uses factual evidence to connect the critically endangered Arapawa goats to the Primitive British goat breeds. She follows the exportation of twelve Arapawa goats, six to the UK and six to the USA, demonstrating how the fight to save the Arapawa goats from extinction is spreading across the world.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dictionary covers cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, horses, donkeys and buffalo. It includes all names which have been applied to interbreeding groups of these species whether they are called breeds, sub-breeds, types, varieties, strains or lines. The region or country of origin of each group is given and this is followed by a very brief description of the breed in terms of products, color, and major morphological features. There is a note on the history of the breed and the dates of formation of breed societies and herdbooks. Synonyms for its name are listed as well as the present conservation status. This new edition includes approximately 9,000 entries, of which 5,000 are main entries and 4,000 are cross references. This represents an increase on the third edition of 18% for main entries and 13% for cross references. The highest proportion of new breed entries are in the horse and pig chapters. Furthermore some 2,300 entries (30%) have been amended. These include 400 major changes, such as new name, extinction, or the extension of a bare name to a complete entry. They also include 1,900 entries with minor changes, for example new breed society, new synonyms, additions to distribution or description, changes in spelling or of conservation status. China features strongly in all additions and amendments. In addition to these changes references to USSR, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia have been corrected in accordance with the current country names. Overall the book continues to represent the standard reference work for all concerned with domestic livestock, particularly those involved in animal breeding and genetics.
Download or read book Surveillance for Biosecurity written by Karyn Janine Froud and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Zealand's distance from other land masses and its relatively recent human occupation explain why some of the worst pests and diseases that afflict agriculture and the natural environment elsewhere have not reached our shores. Our biosecurity system, the envy of many other countries, aims to keep it that way. To do that, national biosecurity relies on surveillance - watching for routes by which foreign organisms might get here, looking for new incursions early so that they can be stopped, and using surveillance to detect and stop pests spreading into new areas. The papers presented at the symposium on Surveillance for Biosecurity are now made available here. They represent current New Zealand thinking on how best to find new invasion routes and pests early enough to interrupt the seemingly inexorable spread of invasive pests and diseases to all corners of the globe.
