Gut Efficiency; The Key Ingredient in Ruminant Production Elevating Animal Performance and Health

Edited by S. Andrieu - ISBN: 9086860672

Cattle Gut Efficiency - Key Ingredient in Ruminant Production Elevating Bovine Performance & Cattle Herd Health

Global dairy and beef production has become an extremely competitive industry. World dairy production is predicted to grow significantly by 2020 with emergence of new consumers in developing countries, milk, cheese and meat production in established markets now has to fulfil consumer needs plus product supply, cattle herd health, food safety and minimal low-carbon emission environmental impact on global warming.

Recent extreme increases in feed costs emphasizes the key role of rumen and digestive efficiency management in cattle production economics. Ruminant breeders and producers must seek new technologies to improve performance efficiency, animal health and production costs.

This textbook includes reviews by world-leading authorities in the field of ruminant nutrition and management for the benefit of dairy and beef farmers, bovine nutritionists, veterinarians and breeders as well as agriculture students and scientific researchers studying animal and applied biological sciences.
The small size of this specialist review belies the density of information contained within. The whole topic is very important as livestock farming margins come under increasing pressure, plus food safety issues have become of critical importance to consumers.

    European Association for Animal Production - Published by Wageningen University
    Breeding, Production Recording, Health & Evaluation of Farm Animals
    (Cattle & Sheep)
    Breeding, Production Recording, Health Evaluation of Farm Animals - European Association for Animal Production Focus of this book is domestic farm livestock recording, especially bovine, aimed at improving the management of herds and flocks and increasing their productivity. New strategies for recording are illustrated and the most updated technologies are presented, on the basis of national experiences where such technologies are already adopted.

    Cattle are the prominent species, two parts are dedicated to small ruminants recording and to buffalo recording. Future challenges and opportunities for further development of ICAR and the definition of the future scenarios in the animal recording sector are also described.
    A special section is dedicated to "Improving the health traits by recording and evaluation", where the past and future of animal recording and the use of animal recording data for genetic evaluation and breeding are defined. Another section deals with the "ICAR Reference Laboratory Network", where the reference systems, the principles and the practices for calibration system for routine milk testing are presented.
    Includes EU national statistics data on the "Yearly enquiry on the situation of milk recording in member countries". Describes methodologies used at national level for milk recording, national data for milk production, the costs of recording and the productivity and numbers of recorded cattle at national level (divided by species and by herdbook). Edited by Juho Kyntäjä, Kyllikki Lampinen, Andrea Rosati, Cesare Mosconi

    Production Diseases in Farm Animals

    Includes CD of Proceedings of International Conference on Production Diseases in Farm Animals
     
    Production Diseases in Farm Animals plus CD of Proceedings of 12th International Conference on Production Diseases in Farm Animals Michigan USA 2004 High producing farm animals are permanently challenged by a variety of factors: lack of proper nutrition (deficiency, excess, toxicity), housing systems, infections and stress. The incidence, course and outcome of production diseases are changing continuously. Therefore, new information on prevention, diagnosis and treatment of production diseases is needed.

    These problems are complicated by the discussion of animal welfare, the rapid changes in agricultural production and the economics of production. The following key topics are handled: alternatives to growth-promoting antibacterial agents; chronic inflammation and animal production; animal behaviour and welfare in intensive production systems; epidemiology of production diseases; new techniques in immunoprophylaxis; nutrition-immunology and production-immunology relationships; phosphorus nutrition - animal health and environmental concerns; application of genomics to production disease; role of specific fatty acids in animal health, reproduction, and performance; trace mineral nutrition and metabolism
