Sheep farming, whether for meat or wool, has always been an
essential component in diversifying farming systems, particularly
in exploiting land unsuitable for arable crops. The sector faces a
range of challenges in meeting rising demand. There is an ongoing
threat both from endemic and more exotic diseases. Consumer
expectations about nutritional and sensory quality have never been
higher. There is also greater concern about the environmental
impact of animal production and animal welfare issues. Drawing on
an international range of expertise, this book reviews research
addressing these challenges. The first part of the book addresses
quality issues affecting meat, wool and dairy products from sheep.
The book then goes on to discuss advances in breeding before
reviewing ways of improving sheep nutrition, health and welfare.
The collection concludes by assessing the environmental impact of
sheep production and ways it can be more effectively managed.
Achieving sustainable production of sheep will be a standard
reference for animal and food scientists in universities,
government and other research centres and companies involved in
supporting sheep farming.
