Applying Equine Science

£39.50

The result of collaboration between equine scientists and industry figures, to bridge the gap between data collection and its application within an increasingly discerning marketplace. Indeed, many companies in the equine sector now appreciate the relationship between product success and well conducted independent research. This volume fosters the afore mentioned linkage, by providing the reader with a unique blend of emerging equine science, and cutting edge industry perspectives.

Dairying: Using Science To Meet Consumers Needs

£9.50

Dairying once again finds itself at a crossroads. Increasingly, producers and scientists need to harness their knowledge and expertise to meet consumers’ demands for quality milk and milk products.

Emerging Equine Science

£10.50

The importance of the equine industry to the rural economy is now beginning to be recognised. Because the horse is not treated as an agricultural animal, little money has been put into research. Nevertheless, many organizations have been increasing research activities, and this book pulls together the results of recent thinking.

Farm Animal Genetic Resources

£10.00

This book provides an overview of developments in the conservation and sustainable utilisation of Farm Animal Genetic Resources. It is based on presentations given at a conference on this subject co-organised by the British Society of Animal Science, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the Rare Breeds Survival Trust and the Sheep Trust.

Herbivores: The Assessment Of Intake, Digestibility And The Roles Of Secondary Compounds

£37.50

Application of silvo-pastoral and mixed grazing systems to domestic herbivores, and the management of wild herbivores, requires an improved understanding of their nutrition. The great diversity of forages and browses results in a wide range of intakes and digestibilities by the animal. Antinutritive secondary compounds can also affect quality. Thus, an overall evaluation of forages and browses needs an integration of measurements of these factors.

Responding To The Livestock Revolution: The Role Of Globalisation And Implications . . .

£9.50

This book discusses the Livestock Revolution which is occurring in some developing countries and is foreseen to become a wider phenomenon over the next 20 years, due to increases in population, urbanisation and incomes. As a result, a gigantic increase in demand for meat and milk is predicted. The many implications for animal agriculture in developing countries, and globally, are considered.
