Description
Ed Tech Press Study Of Recent Development In Livestock And Poultry Production (Hb 2025) by Vos L R M
The reader gets a fairly accurate impression of the world of the livestock sector through Modern Livestock and Poultry Production. It provides an overview of the sector to set the stage for fieldwork. Feed grains and roughages are transformed into food for humans by livestock. The use of feed grains as livestock feed is not without controversy. It has been argued that this is not the most effective use of scarce resources given the global food shortages. Because they can transform significant amounts of resources into food that cannot be used directly for human consumption, ruminants are crucial. Major cereal crops like corn, wheat, and rice contain over half of their chemical energy in plant components that are not consumed by people, including the stems. Due to population increase and rising individual consumption, the demand for poultry meat and eggs is anticipated to rise further. Regardless of location or income level, the market for poultry meat is anticipated to grow, with emerging regions experiencing slightly faster per capita growth than developed ones. This book serves as a guide into the production methods used in livestock and poultry for people working in animal husbandry. The book takes a detailed look into the breeding, rearing, and feeding techniques that have effect on the growth or shrinkage of livestock numbers without ignoring the effect of natural conditions.
