This book presents a compilation of the latest findings from reputed researchers around the globe, covering in detail climate change and its effects on sheep production. In the current global climate change scenario, information related to its impact on livestock agriculture is lacking. The negative impacts of climate change are already being felt by all livestock species. Further, the mitigation and amelioration strategies that are applicable for one species may not hold true for another. As such, concerted research efforts are needed to identify species-specific strategies for mitigation and adaptation. With that goal in mind, this book is the first of its kind to gather comprehensive information pertaining to the impact of climate change on various aspects of sheep production. It also sheds light on the role of sheep with regard to the global greenhouse gas pool. The book highlights the status quo of sheep production from climate change perspectives and projects the significance of adapting future sheep production to the challenges posed by climate change. It addresses in detail the various adaptations, methane mitigation and amelioration strategies needed to sustain sheep production in the future. In addition, the book presents development plans and policies that will allow the sheep industry to cope with current climate changes and strategies that will lessen future impacts. Bringing together essential information prepared by world-class researchers hailing from different agro-ecological zones, this book offers a unique resource for all researchers, teachers and students associated with sustaining the sheep production in the face of global change.
Vermittelt ein umfassendes Verständnis sämtlicher Krankheiten, die bei Ziegen in unterschiedlichen geographischen Lagen und unter einem breiten Spektrum von Haltungsbedingungen auftreten können, von der extensiven Weidehaltung über die intensive Milchproduktion bis zur Heimtierhaltung. Die dritte Auflage von Goat Medicine ist ein umfassendes Referenzwerk für Ziegenkrankheiten in allen Ländern der Welt. Die beiden Autoren ? approbierte Tierärzte mit weltweiter Erfahrung im Bereich Ziegenzucht und -gesundheit ? präsentieren in diesem Werk die neusten Fortschritte bei Diagnose- und Therapieverfahren sowie eine umfassende Betrachtung aller wesentlichen Krankheiten der Ziege. Das Buch enthält maßgebliche, klinisch relevante Informationen zur Erkennung, Diagnose, Behandlung, Bekämpfung und Vorbeugung von Ziegenkrankheiten beim Einzeltier, bei einer Herde oder sogar auf nationaler Ebene. Zum leichteren Verständnis und um die Inhalte des Buchs mühelos erlernbar zu machen, ist das Buch logisch nach Körpersystemen gegliedert und durchgängig mit farbigen Abbildungen illustriert. Behandelt werden u.a. die folgenden Themen: * Bekämpfung wirtschaftlich relevanter Infektionskrankheiten wie der Caprinen Arthritis-Encephalitis, der Paratuberkulose und der Pest der kleinen Wiederkäuer sowie innerer und äußerer Parasiten * Differenzialdiagnose bei chronischem Gewichtsverlust und plötzlichem Tod, Anästhesie und Enthornung/Drüsenentfernung * Ernährung und Stoffwechselkrankheiten, Management der Herdengesundheit und Präventivmedizin * Arzneimittelliste für Ziegen mit empfohlenen Dosierungen sowie Möglichkeiten der Alternativmedizin Wissenschaftler, Forscher, Amtstierärzte, Labordiagnostiker, Industrietierärzte, Veterinärtechniker und behandelnde Tierärzte in aller Welt können sich mit gutem Gewissen auf dieses Buch verlassen und es bei Bedarf jederzeit als umfassendes Referenzwerk zu sämtlichen Themen rund um die Gesundheit und die Krankheiten von Ziegen verwenden.
Sustainable agriculture is a rapidly growing field aiming at producing food and energy in a sustainable way for humans and their children. Sustainable agriculture is a discipline that addresses current issues such as climate change, increasing food and fuel prices, poor-nation starvation, rich-nation obesity, water pollution, soil erosion, fertility loss, pest control, and biodiversity depletion. Novel, environmentally-friendly solutions are proposed based on integrated knowledge from sciences as diverse as agronomy, soil science, molecular biology, chemistry, toxicology, ecology, economy, and social sciences. Indeed, sustainable agriculture decipher mechanisms of processes that occur from the molecular level to the farming system to the global level at time scales ranging from seconds to centuries. For that, scientists use the system approach that involves studying components and interactions of a whole system to address scientific, economic and social issues. In that respect, sustainable agriculture is not a classical, narrow science. Instead of solving problems using the classical painkiller approach that treats only negative impacts, sustainable agriculture treats problem sources. Because most actual society issues are now intertwined, global, and fast-developing, sustainable agriculture will bring solutions to build a safer world.
Recent Trends in Livestock Innovative Technologies explores the most recent developments and developing trends in the livestock farming industry. The book delves into the application of innovative technologies in various aspects of livestock production, management, and health through edited chapters. The book starts with an outline of the difficulties the livestock sector faces and the necessity for technological solutions to these difficulties. Subsequent chapters cover innovations in this area. Key topics include: Advances in genetics and breeding methods: Contributing authors stress the possible impact of issues like marker-assisted selection, genomic selection, and gene editing on the future of animal breeding. Precision livestock farming: The use of sensor technologies, data analytics, and automation to monitor and control livestock production systems more effectively. The authors examine how these technologies enable real-time monitoring of environmental variables, animal activity, and health, which enhances production, animal welfare, and resource use. The management of feed and nutrition in livestock production: The book explores cutting-edge feed formulations, precise feeding systems, and alternative feed sources that can increase feed efficiency, lessen negative effects on the environment, and improve animal health. Fresh methods for illness prevention and management, such as the use of vaccines, diagnostics, and biosecurity measures. Social and ethical issues related to the adoption of cutting-edge livestock technologies. The authors attempt to give a fair assessment of the advantages and drawbacks of these technologies, and address concerns about animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and public perception of current farming practices. Recent Trends in Livestock Innovative Technologies is an informative resource for researchers, professionals, and policymakers interested in staying up-to-date with the advancements and future directions of the livestock industry.
