Empty Pastures: Confined Animals and the Transformation of the Rural Landscape
ISBN: 9780252028953 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. Empty Pastures describes the loss of rural landscapes due to modern animal production practices, and challenges society to reduce agricultural pollution while helping sustain farmers and rural communities. Over the past century American agriculture has shifted dramatically with small, commercial farms finding it increasingly difficult to compete with large-scale (mostly indoor) animal feeding operations (AFOs). In this book, Terence J. Centner investigates the environmental, social, economic, and political impact of the rise of the so-called factory farm, exposing the ramifications of the...

Beef Cattle
ISBN: 9780471825357 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 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...

Genetically Modified Organisms: A Guide to Biosafety
ISBN: 9780851989723 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. For a number of years, the promise of biotechnology has been dimmed by concerns over the intrinsic safety of transgenic organisms. Although considerable knowledge of the properties of recombinant systems and a vast volume of data gathered from different applications of biotechnology are now available, these concerns are still evident. In the developing world, there are also fears that such countries might be used as testing grounds for recombinant products. Considerations of this nature have often overshadowed the benefits these countries might derive from the application of genetic...

Milk Composition Production and Biotechnology
ISBN: 9780851991610 / Angielski / Twarda / 592 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. Major changes have recently taken place in the value attached to components of milk. Although approximately half the energy in milk is contained in fat, fat is rapidly decreasing in value relative to protein. This has come about because of the increased availability of competitively-priced, plant-derived edible oils and because of the perceived health problems associated with animal fat in the human diet. Such changes have major implications for the dairy sector, particularly in developed countries.
Against this background, this book presents a timely review of developments in... Major changes have recently taken place in the value attached to components of milk. Although approximately half the energy in milk is contained in fa...

ISBN: 9780851992167 / Angielski / Miękka / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. This report is a comprehensive review of published information on the body composition and digestive physiology of temperate zone goats, the composition of their products, meat, milk and fiber, their voluntary feed intake, and their associated energy, protein, mineral and vitamin requirements. The systematic approach is similar to that of earlier reviews of ruminant nutrient requirements published by the Agricultural Research Council in 1980 and 1984, which are factorial in nature.
In particular the energy and protein requirements are expressed in terms of Metabolisable Energy... This report is a comprehensive review of published information on the body composition and digestive physiology of temperate zone goats, the compositi...
