Enhanced-growth feeding programs for dairy calves - Nutrition, Management
ISBN: 9783836477772 / Angielski / Miękka / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In recent years, enhanced-growth feeding programs in dairy calves have been widely studied. It consists to feed calves high amounts of milk or milk replacer to achieve their potential growth. When calves are fed with an enhanced-growth feeding program grow around 800-1000 g/d in contrast to conventional feeding programs, that limits the offer of milk replacer to 500 g/d and calves only grow 450 g/d. Conventional feeding programs are conceived to stimulate starter consumption to improve rumen development and wean calves as soon as possible. This work consists on four studies that compare...

Stochastic Modelling in Range Management: Selected Essays
ISBN: 9781590338445 / Angielski / Twarda / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although rangelands are one of the most important ecological-economic systems on our planet, researchers thus far have paid scant attention to the study of range management from a theoretical perspective. As such, this book provides a systematic approach to the theoretical study of range management under uncertainty. In particular, the book demonstrates how the theory of stochastic processes and the techniques of stochastic modelling can be used to construct and analyse theoretical models of jointly determined rangelands and thereby shed light on the task of range management. pastures have...

The Welfare of Sheep
ISBN: 9781402085529 / Angielski / Twarda / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Animal welfare is attracting increasing interest worldwide, but particularly from those in developed countries, who now have the knowledge and resources to be able to improve the welfare of farm animals. The increased attention given to farm animal welfare in the West derives largely from the fact that the relentless pursuit of ?nancial reward and ef?ciency has led to the development of intensive animal production systems that disturb the conscience of many consumers. In developing countries, human survival is still a daily uncertainty, so that provision for animal welfare has to be balanced...
