Managing the environmental risk associated with livestock production is a significant challenge. Nitrogen and phosphorus are commonly implicated as the sources of ground and surface water quality problems associated with livestock production. The degree of imbalance between these nutrient inputs and the managed nutrient outputs for a livestock operation defines the magnitude of potential enviro...

Large herbivore livestock and wildlife in Mongolia depend almost entirely for substance on forage standing crop produced each year on natural pastureland. Consequently, both livestock and wildlife are continuously subject to environmental risk, especially drought and severe winter storms, while livestock are also subject to financial risk. As consumption-based livestock production changes to co...

the purpose of research was analysis of innovation management in processing and complementary industriesof livestock products. the method of research was correlative descriptive. the statistical population of this study was all managers in processing and complementary industriesof livestock products of khouzestan province (n=486). the sampling method was stratified random sampling. the sample s...

Rural tourism is becoming increasingly embedded in the livestock animal management in rural areas. Drawing on a multi-methods approach, this exploratory research shows how to construct the livestock animal displacement actor-networks. As is found, human actors (local governments, tourists, and local residents), non-human animal (livestock) and quasi-object (human dwellings) construct an interac...

Effective nutritional management during gestation has long been recognized as an important component of sound livestock production practices (Bull and Carroll, 1937; Barcroft, 1946; Morrison, 1949; Maynard and Loosli, 1956; Crampton and Lloyd, 1959; NRC, 1970). Recent observation in the area of developmental programming (Barker et al., 1992; Barker et al., 1993; Godfrey and Barker, 2000; Barker...

Riparian meadows occupy a small proportion of the public lands in the western United States but they provide numerous ecosystem services, including the production of high-quality forage for livestock grazing. Modern conservation management strategies (e.g., reductions in livestock stocking rates and adoption of new riparian grazing standards) have been implemented to better balance riparian con...

Modern livestock breeding is basically dependent on the proper use of semen for artificial insemination of females and of other reproductive biotechnologies such as the production of embryos in vitro for embryo transfer. Both these techniques have made possible not only the wide dissemination of genetic material onto breeding populations but also enhanced the selection of best sires, owing to t...

This paper considers the potential problems that may militate against the adoption of organic poultry production in Nigeria. Factors identified include: higher risk of diseases like coccidiosis and Newcastle disease, disease prevention and control / herd health management, disease containment in times of outbreak, land acquisition (land tenure system), market economies / cost-benefit ratio, pas...
