Description

Completely updated and revised, the new edition of Principles of Cattle Production continues to provide an introductory level text for all interested in beef and dairy cattle production systems. This edition presents a vision for a cattle industry that contributes to the environment, to the welfare of cattle and to the provision of safe and high quality food for an increasingly demanding world population. Principles of Cattle Production provides a comprehensive yet concise overview for all undergraduate students of animal science, agriculture, veterinary medicine, animal welfare and for industry personnel.
