Beef Cattle production Systems Modular Texts
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : HERRING Andy
This textbook provides an integrated view of beef cattle production with a
systems based approach, discussing the interrelationships of a broad range
of aspects with the overall goal of optimising cattle production. This
book provides the background to allow cattle producers to match their
production environments with genetic, management, and marketing
opportunities for sustainable beef production globally. This logic and
resulting considerations can then be tailored to address specific regional
challenges and opportunities worldwide. Considerations and examples for
extreme situations will be provided, such as very small herds, very large
herds, communal-group situations, and minimal artificial input systems.
