Presidential Address: Ignorance Is a Voluntary Misfortune
نویسنده
چکیده
Animal production is under fire. When considering the future of animal production, questions are being asked from all sides. Can we afford animal production? Does man really need animal protein in his diet ; would plant protein supplemented with vitamin B12 fulfil his nutritional needs ; does he really need animal fibres and hides? Is it cruel to use animals in the service of man? Perhaps we as animal productionists should put the questions from a different point of view; who or what will make the best use of waste or byproducts of plant production? Is it safe to assume that the world's long term requirement for heat energy will be met from the utilization of crop residues? How can we use profitably the millions of hectares , particularly in this country, which are unsuitable for arable cropping?
