Beef Cattle
ISBN: 9780471825357 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The decades of the 1970s and 1980s have seen beef cattle treated more as a business than as a way of life. Dramatically changing interest and inflation rates have put the beef cattle industry under severe financial stress. At the same time, scientific advances in nutrition, reproduction and breeding have greatly increased the potential efficiency of beef production. The advent of the microcomputer has given every cattle producer the ability to evaluate new technology in his operation. Increasingly, the cattlemen who are able to make profits from beef cattle enterprises are those who are able...

Traditionally, the Yucatec Maya have regarded animals as fellow members of a wider society, and in their religion animals enjoy the status of spiritual beings. But in recent years, the breakdown of cultural restraints on hunting has spiraled so far out of control that almost everything edible within easy reach of a road has become fair game.
