The idea that current methods of food production are not
sustainable in the long-term is a controversial topic. This book
provides information that will advance a form of livestock
production that meets the long- and short-term goals of human food
production, minimizing degradation of natural resources. Important
concerns regarding food safety, particularly antibiotic and
chemical residues in meat, milk and other livestock foods, have
stimulated renewed interest in alternative methods of promoting
livestock health.
"Alternative Health Practices for Livestock" is the first
compilation of its kind for veterinarians, agriculture extension
educators and livestock producers. It provides a well-referenced
overview of some of the alternative livestock practices currently
being examined.
