Recent IPCC reports have highlighted the environmental impact of
livestock production as a major source of non-CO2 emissions:
methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and ammonia (NH3). The livestock
sector must react to these reports and develop or implement methods
that can reduce greenhouse (GHG) emissions from livestock
production. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from livestock
production provides authoritative reviews on measuring GHG
emissions from livestock as well as the range of methods that can
be applied to reduce emissions, ranging from breeding to animal
health and manure management. The collection also reviews
nutritional approaches such as improving forage quality and the use
of plant bioactive compounds and other feed supplements to limit
emissions by modifying the rumen environment. Drawing in an
international range of expert authors, Reducing greenhouse gas
emissions from livestock production summarises what we can do to
make livestock production more sustainable and viable for the
future. It will be a major reference for the livestock
(particularly dairy) science research community, environmental
scientists, government and other agencies tackling the challenge of
climate change, as well as companies involved in livestock
production and processing of dairy and meat products.
The book presents the comprehensive research findings on the basic
features, formation mechanisms and evolution laws of Chinese
enterprise migration, from the micro-perspective of enterprise
migration; and on this basis, the influences from enterprise
migration on industrial agglomeration and diffusion as well as the
evolution of regional economy have been deeply discussed in the
book; meanwhile, the migration trends, power mechanisms,
determining factors, structural and spatial effects of Chinese
manufacturing industry have been also studied. The author also put
forward policy advices on the themes above, such as the central
government should pay more attention to the fairness goals in the
market economy framework; some policies should be improved to
positively and reasonably guide and regulate firm relocation in
China, for example, enterprises from Chinese coastal areas should
be encouraged to move to the mid and west areas; the
industrialization and urbanization in mid and west areas should be
accelerated; the economic development should be geared to the
bearing capacity of natural resources and environment; industries
and economic activities should be promoted to agglomerate
effectively in metropolitan regions. This book provides
comprehensive analysis on the relocation of enterprises in China,
as well as the situation of China's regional economic development.
The author, Wei Houkai, as an authoritative economist on regional
development of China, finished his deep survey on China's regional
economy from this perspective of enterprise relocation, together
with his research group; as the research result, this book,
doubtlessly provides a valuable opportunity for readers in English
world to obtain the realistic and rational messages about what is
happening in nowadays China in certain domains. What's more, Mr
Wei, whose policy advices has always been adopted by the government
of China, raises some significant viewpoints based on his d
