Beef Cattle Production Systems by Andy D. Herring Pdf

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 optimising cattle production. This book provides the background to allow cattle producers to match their production environments with genetic, management, and marketing opportunities for sustainable beef production globally. This logic and resulting considerations can then be tailored to address specific regional challenges and opportunities worldwide. Considerations and examples for extreme situations will be provided, such as very small herds, very large herds, communal-group situations, and minimal artificial input systems.

Simulation Of Beef Cattle Production Systems And Its Use In Economic Analysis by Thomas H Spreen,David H Laughlin,Phillip Doren,Odell Walker Pdf

Economic analysis of beef cattle production has been limited by the inability to fully describe the underlying production process. Except for confined feeding of cattle, beef cattle production is the process of growing cattle who consume forages. The animal and the forage possess attributes of both factors and products of production. The production of forage constitutes one production process, animal growth is another production process, and reproduction by female animals is a third production process. Cattle production involves all three processes in such a manner that each influences the outcome of the other. Each process is itself complex and analysis is further complicated when all three are considered simultaneously.

Management Strategies for Sustainable Cattle Production in Southern Pastures by Monte Rouquette, Jr.,Glen Aiken Pdf

Management Strategies for Sustainable Cattle Production in Southern Pastures is a practical resource for scientists, students, and stakeholders who want to understand the relationships between soil-plant interactions and pasture management strategies, and the resultant performance of cow-calf and stocker cattle. This book illustrates the importance of matching cattle breed types and plant hardiness zones to optimize cattle production from forages and pastures. It explains the biologic and economic implications of grazing management decisions made to improve sustainability of pastures and cattle production while being compliant with present and future environmental concerns and cattle welfare programs. Documents the effects of cattle grazing on greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprints Discusses strategies to enhance soil fertility, soil health, and nutrient cycling in pastures Provides information on the use of stocking rates, stocking strategies and grazing systems to optimize cow-calf production of weaned calves and stockers. Presents innovations in cattle supplementation and watering systems to minimize negative impacts on water and soil health Includes methods for weed control to maintain pasture condition and ecosystem stability Describes management strategies to integrate cattle operations with wildlife sustainability

Beef Cattle Production and Trade by Lewis Kahn,David Cottle Pdf

Beef Cattle Production and Trade covers all aspects of the beef industry from paddock to plate. It is an international text with an emphasis on Australian beef production, written by experts in the field. The book begins with an overview of the historical evolution of world beef consumption and introductory chapters on carcass and meat quality, market preparation and world beef production. North America, Brazil, China, South-East Asia and Japan are discussed in separate chapters, followed by Australian beef production, including feed lotting and live export. The remaining chapters summarise R&D, emphasising the Australian experience, and look at different production systems and aspects of animal husbandry such as health, reproduction, grazing, feeding and finishing, genetics and breeding, production efficiency, environmental management and business management. The final chapter examines various case studies in northern and southern Australia, covering feed demand and supply, supplements, pasture management, heifer and weaner management, and management of internal and external parasites.

Advances in Cattle Welfare by Cassandra Tucker Pdf

Advances in Cattle Welfare provides a targeted overview of contemporary issues in dairy and beef cattle welfare. The volume addresses welfare-related topics in both research and on-farm applications. Opening with an introduction to cattle production systems, the book covers the three major areas of cattle welfare; on-farm welfare assessment, behavioral priorities of cattle and novel perspectives on specific aspects of management. Chapters examine the key issues within each area, including such topics as the goals and measures included in welfare assessments, the importance to cattle of access to pasture and engaging in social behavior, human-animal interactions, painful procedures, and disease and metabolic challenge. This book is an essential part of the wider ranging series Advances in Farm Animal Welfare, with coverage of cattle, sheep and pigs. With its expert editor and international team of contributors, Advances in Cattle Welfare is a key reference tool for welfare research scientists and students, veterinarians involved in welfare assessment, and indeed anyone with a professional interest in the welfare of cattle. Brings together top researchers in the field to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the understanding of cattle welfare and management Analyzes welfare issues for both dairy and beef cattle of all ages Examines the issues from the perspective of what will be most important for the animal’s overall welfare, from housing systems to feeding

Beef Cattle Production by Robert Jarrige Pdf

Present day beef production is supported by a wealth of scientific knowledge. Extreme variability in weight, fatness and meat quality occurs in the 240 million cattle that are slaughtered annually. Furthermore, the hundred muscles of a carcass differ widely and are processed into an increasing number of products. This volume covers the major beef production systems across the world, with views presented by a large panel of multi-national authors. The volume is organised into three sections. First, basic disciplines related to beef production, specifically reproduction and selection of cows and sires, growth and nutrition of rearing and fattening cattle, and carcass and meat characteristics. Next, major categories of beef-producing animals (from veal calves to culled cows) and production systems found in the temperate regions. Thirdly, beef production in tropical regions, which produce less than 20% of the world beef although they hold more than 55% of the total cattle population, with special reference to limiting factors. Further, the numerous tables and figures presented, together with about 1600 selected references provide a vast reservoir of information for teachers, students and research workers.

Alternative Beef Production Systems by Kenneth H. Mathews, Jr. Pdf

Beef markets in the U.S. are rapidly changing as alternative production systems and technologies evolve in response to consumer demands and compete with conventional grain-fed beef production. Beef produced through distinguishable systems results in products with different marketable attributes that may attract price premiums, for ex., claims relating to input and other resource use, environental impacts, animal welfare, slaughter/processing infrastructure and efficiencies, and providing continuous supplies of safe products. Markets are rapidly changing as consumers demand various combinations of these attributes in their beef products and as science and consumer knowledge converge. This report explores the market outlook implications of these changes by examining the specific production technologies behind alternative production systems and products. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
