Introduction to Animal Science: Global, Biological, Social, and Industry Perspectives - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

For courses in Introduction to Animal Science; Agriculture and Society; Social Issues in Agriculture.

Unique in focus and cutting-edge in content, this lavishly illustrated introduction to animal science covers the full range of topics―traditional and non-traditional―that reflect the way agriculture is changing today, and that will prepare students for the modern agricultural workforce. It explores animal science from a variety of integrated perspectives―global, biological, species, industry, and society―by examining not only the topics traditionally covered at the introductory level (e.g., major species, nutrition, digestion, feeds, genetics, reproduction, disease, and animal behavior), but also by exploring the dynamic nature of animal science and the many ways in which it is a piece of a much larger whole of agriculture (e.g., vertical integration or industry structure) and agriculture within society (e.g., how animals fit into all of society and how animals contribute to the well-being of man from a worldwide perspective).
