Sustainable Animal Production: The Challenges and Potential Developments for Professional Farming
ISBN: 9789086860999 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. An understanding of sustainability in animal production is becoming increasingly necessary since the global demand for food is expected to dramatically increase in the coming decades. In this context, raising animals for the production of food will become increasingly challenging. Farm animals should not adversely compete with humans for their own sustenance, and food of animal origin should be safe and affordable. The production of healthy animals will therefore be a prerequisite. Such animals will efficiently convert their feed into food that can be certified as nutritive and safe. In...
