Cattle: Beef Production Books
Indicators of milk and beef quality
Authors: Editors: J.F. Hocquette and S. Gigli
The farming and agri-food sectors are faced with an increasing demand by consumers for high-quality products.The current major questions are thus how to define quality, and how to increase the quality of animal products to satisfy these new requirements.

Knowledge transfer in cattle husbandry
Authors: Edited by Abele Kuipers, Marija Klopcic and Cled Thomas
New management practices, attitudes and adaptation
This book addresses the principles of knowledge transfer and presents a wide scale of applications. Effective knowledge utilization requires that insights developed in the animal sciences are combined with social science approaches. That is accomplished in this book. The applications focus on the adoption of new management practices in cattle husbandry. In animal sciences the emphasis is generally on the technical and zoological know-how.

Lameness in Cattle
Authors: Chris Watson
Forward by David Logue
Lameness is the third most economically important disease affecting cattle today, and the single most important welfare issue, especially for the housed dairy cow. The responsibility for dealing with it can fall on everyone involved in the industry, from the stockperson right through to the veterinary surgeon. This book is essential for anyone involved in the day-to-day practical health care of cattle.

Livestock farming systems
Authors: Edited by R. Rubino, L. Sepe, A. Dimitriadou and A. Gibon
Product quality based on local resources leading to improved sustainability
Livestock farming increasingly means much more than just food production and product quality is no longer simply synonymous with food safety and the provision of energy and protein nutrients. This book examines the variety of reasons for this shift in thinking and provides a basis for a new approach to livestock farming systems. The topical issues for product quality based on local resources are addressed from a variety of angles, including genomics, land use, the consumer preference and human nutrition.

Production diseases in farm animals
Authors: Edited by Nanda Joshi and Thomas H. Herdt
This publication contains the proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Production Diseases in Farm Animals. Production diseases are those disorders associated with the management and breeding of animals for intense agricultural production. They include not only metabolic and nutritional diseases, but also infectious and genetic disorders for which animals may be at increased risk due to modern agricultural practices. The occurrence of production diseases has relevance not only to production economics, but also to animal welfare, making the study of production disease of continuing importance in the advancement of animal agriculture. Evolving techniques of molecular genetics have helped advance the study of production disease and have lead to exciting advances in this pursuit.

Ruminant physiology: Digestion, metabolism and impact of nutrition on gene expression, immunology and stress
Authors: Edited by K. Sejrsen, T. Hvelplund and M.O. Nielsen
This book contains peer-reviewed contributions to the XthInternational Symposium on Ruminant Physiology. Proceedings from past ISRP symposia have had a major influence on research and teaching in animal science over the years. Without a doubt, the chapters in this book written by some of the best scientists in the field, will live up to this fine tradition.

Shorthorns in the 20th Century UK and Ireland
Authors: John Wood-Roberts
The Shorthorn breed rose to a pinnacle of success in the middle of the 20th century, with huge export demand, and animals being sold for record sums - Bapton Constructor was sold for 15,000 guineas to Canada in 1956 and in 1961 Calrossie Heirloom for 13,500 guineas to the Argentine.
