Animal husbandry

Summary
Details

The Art and Science of Animal Husbandry is a comprehensive exploration of the practices, principles, and challenges of animal husbandry. This book delves into the history of animal husbandry, from the earliest domestication of livestock to the modern-day industrialized production systems that feed the growing global population. It highlights the importance of balancing the art and science of animal husbandry to promote sustainable practices that meet human needs while protecting the environment and promoting animal welfare.

The book emphasizes the scientific principles that underpin animal husbandry practices, including animal behavior, physiology, nutrition, and genetics. It explores the role of animal welfare science in improving animal welfare in animal husbandry practices and highlights the importance of implementing science-based animal welfare standards.

In addition to scientific principles, the book also highlights the importance of the art of animal husbandry. The art of animal husbandry involves understanding the unique needs and characteristics of individual animals and environments, which requires a deep understanding of animal behavior and intuition that can only be gained through experience and observation.

Sustainable animal husbandry practices are also a significant theme throughout the book. As the global population continues to grow, and the demand for animal products increases, it is critical to adopt practices that are environmentally and socially sustainable. Sustainable animal husbandry practices aim to minimize environmental impact, conserve natural resources, and promote animal welfare while meeting human needs.

The book also explores the future of animal husbandry and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. As we face new challenges in the field of animal husbandry, it is essential to approach them with a collaborative and holistic perspective that considers the interdependent relationships between animals, the environment, and human needs.

This book is intended for a wide audience, including animal science students, animal producers, policymakers, and anyone interested in the complex issues surrounding animal husbandry. It provides a comprehensive overview of the art and science of animal husbandry and inspires readers to engage in a meaningful dialogue about the future of animal agriculture.
