Not only management, scope of this book also covers production and health aspects. Many important livestock diseases, heavy metal toxicities in chicks and mad cow disease are covered in this book. Importance of herbal drugs and area specific mineral mixture have also been discussed. An appropriate breeding strategies are very important for improving the genetic makeup of the livestock population and hence for improving economic gains from livestock. Bioinformatics have the potential in the development of correct breeding programmes and policy frames in India. Livestock sector has developed far beyond meat and milk industry. Today is the time of clean and wholesome production of food of animal origin, as the consumers are more concerned about the microbiological aspects of milk. The authors through their painstaking efforts have compiled the scattered information on various aspects of livestock production at one place.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Foreword. Preface. I. Livestock and their contribution to global warming. II. Diversity of rumen microbes. III. Nutritional management for abatement of GHGs. IV. In vitro fermentation, ruminant in Vivo and molecular methods. This book presents extensive and updated information about the current developments towards the abatement of methane and other greenhouse gases originated from livestock. Greenhouse gases such as methane and nitrous oxide contributed by livestock are of worldwide concern as these are responsible for global warming as well as animal productivity. Significant efforts have been made by the researcher in different parts of the world to understand the process and mechanisms of global warming with specific emphasis on methanogenesis. We have compiled the information on enteric methane and nitrous oxide production from dairy animals, its impact on global warming and strategies to mitigate these GHGs in a simple illustrative, and coherent manner, so that students, scientists, academicians and others involved in animal nutrition and animal production science at national or international level will be benefited. The book covers all aspects of role of ruminants in global warming, rumen microbial diversity, methanogenesis pathway and various biological and non-biological approaches to mitigate anthropogenic methane release. In the end book also covers a variety of techniques for measuring rumen fermentation parameters, culturing and maintenance of anaerobic rumen bacteria and fungi, methanogens, and latest molecular approaches to investigate the rumen microbial diversity and quantification of methanogens are also included.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Financial Inclusion is the process of ensuring access to appropriate financial products and services needed by vulnerable groups such as economically and socially weaker sections and low income groups at an affordable cost in a fair and transparent manner by formal financial institutions. It not only means to open savings account of people, but also includes providing financial advice, insurance and credit services. In fact, access to affordable finance enables the poor and vulnerable groups to undertake economic activities and take advantages of growth opportunities for economic empowerment. India has made a massive contribution to economic development by finding innovative ways from time to time to empower the poor starting with nationalization of banks, priority sector lending by banks, lead bank scheme, establishment of regional rural banks, service area approach, self help group bank linkage programme, introduction of Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana etc.

There has been a tremendous increase in the production of livestock products and this is expected to continue in the coming future. This is especially in developing countries. The greatest increase is in the production of poultry and pigs, as well as eggs and milk. Livestock production can make good use of resources, some of which may otherwise not be used, and contributes high quality protein and important micronutrients to the human diet.

The world population has increased dramatically in the past century, generating a concern for progressive and sustainable food production. It is expected to further increase by 1.3 billion in 2030 and by 2.5 billion in 2050, reaching 9.7 billion. To provide food security to this growing population, the world food production may need to increase by 60-110%. Biotic and abiotic stresses are major threat to plant growth and halt them from reaching their full genetic potential and ultimately limiting their productivity. High yield varieties are confronted by various stresses which lead to huge loss in production and productivity. Understanding the mechanisms involved in the response of plants to adverse environmental conditions is the first step in the generation of crops with higher tolerance to these stresses. This book provides a broad overview of biotic and abiotic stresses, their mechanisms and different strategies to improve stress tolerance in crop plants. This book is a valuable source book for students, teachers, researchers engaged in stress physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology, plant breeding and soil science.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Forage based economical feeding strategies are required to reduce the cost of quality livestock product as the feed resources alone constitutes 60-70% of the milk production cost. Thus, any effort of enhancing fodder availability and economizing the feed cost results in increased margin of profits. There is tremendous pressure of livestock on available fodder resources, as land available for fodder production has been decreasing. At present, India faces a net deficit of 35% green fodder and 10% dry crop residues. To meet the current level of livestock production and its annual growth in population, the deficit in fodder resources needs to be met either by increasing productivity, utilizing untapped fodder resources, increasing land area (may not be possible due to human pressure for food crops) or through imports. Indeed, in the world of changing socio-economic and environmental scenario, there are diverse challenges and constraints for fodder security and sustainable livestock production to meet the requirements of ever increasing human beings. A considerable amount of work has been done on different aspects of forage production and grassland management, forage processing and utilization at different organizations of India and elsewhere. In this edited book, an attempt has been made to organise the available pertinent information or approaches of enhancing fodder production and efficient utilization by researchers from various organizations. Being introduced with the forage and livestock scenario in India, this book contains adequate information on optimizing forage production, alternate land use systems for forage production, advances in forage crop improvement and seed production and forage utilization and socioeconomic aspects including value addition and fodder marketing, green house gas emissions and climate change mitigation. It is expected that this book will be highly useful to researchers, teachers, students, policy makers and livestock farmers.
