CABI Publishing Behaviour of Cattle
Book SynopsisIn recent years there has been an increasing interest in the topic of farm animal behaviour. This is partly an academic interest on the part of behavioural and animal scientists, but also stems from the more applied aspects of the subject as it relates to animal welfare. It is also now better appreciated that behaviour and welfare of animals have a significant impact on health and production. This book provides a thorough review of our knowledge of cattle behaviour and how this can contribute to improve the care, management and well-being of cattle. Examples are drawn from around the world, and while there is some emphasis on dairy cattle, mention is made of beef, dual-purpose or draught cattle where appropriate. All of the key topics such as social, reproductive and feeding behaviour are covered with thorough reviews of the research literature. The book represents a valuable work for advanced students and research workers in animal, dairy and veterinary sciences, as well as zoologistsTable of Contents1: Origin, evolutionary history and domestication of cattle 2: Maintenance behaviour 3: Social behaviour 4: Reproductive behaviour 5: Feeding behaviour 6: Maternal and calf behaviour and management 7: Behavioural responses to management systems 8: Human-cattle interactions 9: Training of cattle 10: Behavioural problems and solutions

CABI Publishing Nutrition of Goats
Book SynopsisThis report is a comprehensive review of published information on the body composition and digestive physiology of temperate zone goats, the composition of their products, meat, milk and fibre, their voluntary feed intake, and their associated energy, protein, mineral and vitamin requirements. The systematic approach is similar to that of earlier reviews of ruminant nutrient requirements published by the Agricultural Research Council in 1980 and 1984, which are factorial in nature. In particular the energy and protein requirements are expressed in terms of Metabolisable Energy (ARC 1980, AFRC 1990) and Metabolisable Protein (AFRC1992), using the models for cattle and sheep as appropriate. The requirements for calcium and phosphorus have been calculated utilising the factors specified in a separate AFRC report published in 1991. The report also identifies areas where there is a lack of research data specific to goats, recourse having to be made to published data for sheep (particularly Table of Contents1: Introduction 2: The goat industry 3: Goat products 4: The need for information on the nutrition of the goat 5: Composition of Products 6: Body and carcase 7: Milk 8: Fibre 9: Digestive Physiology 10: Digestibility 11: Rumen ammonia and rate of digestion 12: Rate of passage and rumen volume 13: Conclusions 14: Feed Intake 15: Introduction 16: Feeding behaviour 17: Grazing 18: Species comparisons : stall-feeding, minimum selection 19: Published estimates of feed intake by goats 20: Seasonal effects 21: Water intake 22: Conclusions and recommendations 23: Energy 24: Efficiencies of utilization of metabolisable energy 25: Feeding level corrections for ME intake 26: Requirements for maintenance 27: Requirements for activity 28: Requirements for growth 29: Requirements for pregnancy 30: Requirements for lactation and associated live-weight changes 31: Requirements for gains in body energy in lactating goats 32: Protein 33: Energy supply for microbial synthesis in the rumen 34: Feed nitrogen degradability 35: Apparent efficiency of conversion of degradable dietary nitrogen into microbial nitrogen 36: Microbial nitrogen yield in the rumen 37: Proportion of microbial crude protein (MCP) present as microbial true protein (MTP) 38: Absorbability of amino acids (AA) in the small intestine 39: Digestibility of undegraded feed protein 40: Efficiency of utilisation of absorbed amino acid nitrogen by ruminants 41: Requirements for maintenance 42: Requirements for lactation 43: Requirements for growth 44: Requirements for fibre 45: Requirements for pregnancy 46: Requirements for live-weight change in lactating goats 47: Minerals and Vitamins 48: Mineral composition of body tissues, milk and fibre 49: Calcium and phosphorus 50: Magnesium 51: Sodium, potassium and chloride 52: Copper 53: Requirements for other trace elements 54: Requirements for vitamins 55: Production 56: Rearing kids to weaning 57: Nutrition of the dairy goat 58: Nutrition of fibre goats

New Society Publishers Homestead Cows
Book SynopsisEvery farm needs a cow open the gates! With an approach built around investing for the long term, Homestead Cows prepares homesteaders and small farmers to open the farm gate to cattle, whether a single milk cow or a small beef herd. Homestead Cows covers the A to Z of husbandry: Cow history, biology, diet, and nutrition Understanding what you want, what''s involved, and creating a plan Selecting breeds and determining herd size Housing and facilities, transportation, and equipment Financial management and the dollars and cents of cows Breeding and reproduction Cow health and happiness, including safety, handling, and good husbandry Processing, products, and cooking. Cattle are the most productive, versatile, and low-input sources of food and revenue on the farm and can help regenerate and build soil. The secret to success is excellent managementTrade Review"In Homestead Cows, Callene and Eric Rapp take us on an epic journey that covers everything bovine in a uniquely approachable and systematic way. The book covers everything from the history of cattle to the ins and outs of choosing a breed that's right for you and gives you the tools to manage your experiences in a way that's humane for the cattle, the homesteader, and the land. This book is a must-read for every homesteader and small holder with an interest in keeping cattle for virtually any purpose, and would help bring husbandry back to large-scale operators who view cattle as a mere commodity." —Hank Will, editor, Mother Earth News "Homestead Cows is a gem of a book full of great advice for anyone thinking about keeping cattle. It's a must read for newbies!" —Jeanette Beranger, senior program manager, The Livestock Conservancy "This book covers all the aspects of cattle raising for the beginning farmer who's trying to traverse the landscape of farming. Callene and Eric have drilled down into the howto, without being preachy, to build the knowledge you will need when you put your first animals in your first pasture and watch them thrive. The only thing it doesn't cover is the number of old and new curse words you'll learn and use when you hit your shins on the trailer ball. I'm going to order a bunch and it should be a paperback that will fit in your back pocket or that Carhartt jacket pocket." —Carrie Balkcom, executive director, American Grassfed Association "Homestead Cows is an excellent book for anyone interested in raising their own cattle. This book is chock-full of fantastic information useful for experienced cattlemen and novice farmers alike. I would feel confident putting this book in someone's hand and knowing they have all the information they need to raise their own cattle. Callene and Eric did an excellent job writing a book that was easy and enjoyable to read!" —Emily Nyman, heritage livestock expert, photographer, living history reenactor "Cattle have been domesticated for over 10,000 years and people have worked side by side with them, benefiting greatly from the relationship. Dual and triple purpose breeds had many uses including draft power, along with milk and meat. Since 2008, Eric and Callene Rapp have owned and raised Pineywoods cattle when they acquired a bull and seven cows to help conserve this triple purpose breed. They've now compiled all of their cattle raising knowledge into an easy to read book that is perfect for someone who is interested in raising some of their own. Homestead Cows is a comprehensive guide that is perfect for the beginner, but is still useful for the experienced cattleman." —Alicia Boor, Agriculture and Natural Resources Extension Agent, Cottonwood District, K-State Research and ExtensionTable of ContentsDedication Acknowledgments Introduction Chapter 1: Humans and Cattle A Brief History of Cattle What’s Your Plan?

Pan Macmillan All Things Wise and Wonderful
Book SynopsisJames Herriot (19161995) was the pen name of James Alfred 'Alf' Wight, an English vet whose tales of veterinary practice and country life in the Yorkshire Dales have delighted generations. Many of Herriot's works - including All Creatures Great and Small, All Things Bright and Beautiful, All Things Wise and Wonderful, The Lord God Made Them All, and Every Living Thing - became international bestsellers and have been adapted for film and television.Trade ReviewHerriot's enchanting tales of life in the Dales are deservedly classics. Full of extraordinary characters, animal and human, the books never fail to delight. -- Amanda OwenBulls with sunstroke, pigs on the run and a cake-eating Peke with a betting habit . . . I grew up reading James Herriot's book and I'm delighted that thirty years on they are still every bit as charming, heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny as they were then. -- Kate HumbleThe attraction of Herriot's ever popular memoirs of a country vet . . . is their alternating highs and lows, humour and pathos, and gripping anecdotes about delivering lambs, grumpy farmers, hypochondriac pet-owners, stroppy cows and blunt Yorkshire characters. And, of course, there's a powerful nostalgia element in these stories about our green and pleasant land in the day before the ravages of ribbon development. * Daily Mail *

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Gastrointestinal Nematodes of Sheep and Cattle
Book SynopsisA unique resource for all those interested in the impact of worms on livestock, the anthelmintics used to get rid of them and the emerging problem of anthelmintic resistance. This book provides an over-arching view of past, present and suggested future strategies for control of gastrointestinal nematode parasites in sheep and cattle. The book begins with descriptions of the biology of gastrointestinal nematodes, the harm they cause to the host and their economic impact. The main body of the book deals with the control of worms, focusing on the use of anthelmintic drenches. The relationship between drenching practices and the development of drug resistance is discussed, as well as resistance management. The authors also break new ground by discussing alternative options for worm control, including: nutritional interventions, biological control, breeding for desirable genetics and artificially improving immunity to infection. They also offer useful recommendations for program developTrade Review"This very readable book is a refreshing change from most books on parasitology. The authors provide a wonderful review of current research efforts and present it in a way to provide readers with useable information. They also delve into more futuristic ideas on parasite control by vaccination as well as genetic resistance and nutritional interactions." (Doody's, 23 September 2011) "This is definitely a book for anyone who wants to know a lot of detail about gastrointestinal parasites of sheep and cattle, but not for those after a quick and definitive guide to solving common problems encountered in veterinary practice."

The cases appear randomly to reflect real life practice and are presented as a set of integrated questions, photographs and detailed explanatory answersto educate and not just to test.
