This book fills the gap in the available literature on modelling
farm animal systems. This monograph has a broad and comprehensive
coverage of ruminant systems and features the application of models
in animal biology. It will be of great value to animal scientists,
agricultural scientists, modellers and animal physiologists.
This book examines the efficiency and economics of animal
production, feed resource availability, interactions between plant
and animal agricultures, international trade, resource allocation,
roles of animals in developing countries, and the nutritional
values and limitations of animal products.
Numerous authors have presented analyses of the world food problem
and the appropriate role of animals in food production and have
drawn qualitative conclusions. However, projection and planning
require quantitative considerations, and this volume addresses that
challenge. Experts in animal science, farm management, economics,
international agriculture, and nutrition elucidate and debate
germane issues with scientific rigor. They examine the efficiency
and economics of animal production, feed resource availability,
interactions between plant and animal agricultures, international
trade, resource allocation, roles of animals in developing
countries, and the nutritional values and limitations of animal
products.
