Inhaltsangabe

Sustainable Goat Production in the Changing Climate aims to make the global scientific and academic communities aware of the potential of goats as a livestock of the future. When compared to more popular meat sources like cattle and swine, goats have a lower carbon footprint and can aid in mitigating the effects of climate change, as well as improving food production, poverty and equity issues. This book will discuss the implications of climate change on goat production systems and emphasize the physiological potential of goats to adapt to erratically changing climatic conditions. Furthermore, the book includes chapters on strategies to mitigate the effects of climate change on goat production and highlights novel technologies used to assess the impact of heat stress in goats. Technology transfer strategies and policy-related issues will also be covered.

Written and edited by an international team of experts on goats, livestock, animal agriculture, and climate-smart food systems, Sustainable Goat Production in the Changing Climate will appeal to a broad audience, from researchers to livestock specialists, veterinarians, and policymakers in food and sustainability.

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Dr. Veerasamy Sejian is Dean of the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Veterinary Education and Research, Puducherry, India, and previously served as Principal Scientist at the ICAR–National Institute of Animal Nutrition and Physiology, Bengaluru. His research focuses on animal physiology, climate resilience, and adaptation to environmental stress, with particular emphasis on small ruminants. He is recognized for advancing research on the impacts of multiple environmental stressors on livestock and for investigating molecular, genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenetic mechanisms associated with stress tolerance in goats.
Dr. Sejian has authored numerous scholarly publications, book chapters, technical resources, and edited volumes in the fields of animal science and climate adaptation. He serves on the editorial boards of several international journals and contributes to research and policy discussions related to livestock production under changing environmental conditions. He has supervised postgraduate and doctoral researchers and continues to support collaborative research, education, and capacity-building initiatives in animal and veterinary sciences.

Dr. M.V. Silpa (M.V.Sc) is a Research Assistant at the Institute of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Justus-Liebig-University, Giessen, Germany. Her research primarily focuses on linking animal genetics with heat stress, its impact on animal production, adaptation and assess thermo-tolerance, in goats and dairy cattle. She has been working on establishing the impact of heat stress on caprine skin using a holistic approach involving skin metagenomics, transcriptomics and epigenetics. She’s also working on assessing the impact of heat stress in dairy cattle under field condition. In her short research career, she has published over 13 peer-reviewed publications 34 book chapters, 8 popular articles, 7 invited papers, 22 conference papers and 14 NCBI sequence submissions. She also has 6 best paper presentation awards to her credit. She is a budding researcher with a lot of aspirations to do advanced research in the field of animal genetics and thermo-tolerance in livestock.

Dr. D. Thirunavukkarasu specialized in Veterinary and Animal Husbandry Extension Education and is currently serving as Scientist, Farm Science Centre of Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, India located at Kallakurichi, Tamil Nadu. He has published peer-reviewed articles, book chapters and farm literatures. He has played a critical role in strengthening livestock-based livelihoods through technology transfer activities. In similar capacities, he has been associated with International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) and Indo-UK and DFID programs of RIVER, Puducherry in the past. He was a team member in establishing of Farm Science Centre(s) of Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, India. His current work focuses on socio-economic and behavioral factors driving adoption and diffusion of promoted technologies in the livestock sector. At his current workplace, he has been principal investigator /co-principal investigators for various research programs on technology transfer. He also has served as Chairman / members in advisory committee of masters and PhD students.
