Description
Cabi Beef Cattle Production Systems by Herring and Andy D
This textbook provides an integrated view of beef cattle production with a systems-based approach, discussing the interrelationships of a broad range of aspects with the overall goal of optimizing cattle production. It provides the background to allow cattle producers to match their production environments with genetic, management and marketing opportunities for sustainable beef production globally. The resulting considerations can then be tailored to address specific regional challenges and opportunities worldwide. Considerations and examples for extreme situations are provided, such as very small herds, very large herds, communal-group situations and minimal artificial input systems.
