Modern livestock management techniques seek to minimize human involvement, increase yield and improve animal health. Economy, quality and consumer safety all play a role in raising animals. Drug use and feed supplements may be regulated / prohibited to ensure that yield is not increased at the expense of consumer health, safety or animal welfare.
The present book is intended to be a guide that provides the details of useful, complete, accurate and safe procedures for performing the livestockmanagement techniques. Complete in coverage, it presents techniques and discussion for managing all types of animals including beef cattle, general cattle, sheep, goats and poultry, from breeding and conception through their useful life cycle. As such the book is of tremendous utility to farmers and livestock professionals.
