Know Your Goats by Jack Byard Pdf

Goats are a diverse range of beautiful (and sometimes rare) animals. Billy or nanny goats are the source of many a children's story. Goats were taken into the human fold over 10,000 years ago. From some of these animals, we obtain the fiber to create exquisite mohair and cashmere clothing. Others provide (extremely healthy) meat and milk; the latter being frequently turned into mouth-watering cheeses. Wandering the fields, hillsides, and mountains, goats are browsers and prefer unwanted brush, briar, and weeds, their lips and tongues choosing only the tastiest plants. Extremely intelligent and curious, they are also experts at escaping from 'secure' fields. And, they can make excellent pets. Along with photographs, this book offers information on some 37 breeds of goats from all around the world, including size and weight, hair type, and history. (Series: Know Your...)

The Book of the Goat - Containing Full Particulars of the Various Breeds of Goats and Their Profitable Management by H. Pegler Pdf

The Book of the Goat in its original edition was the first work devoted to the subject printed in the English language. First published in London in the 1880s, it is now a very scarce and desirable book in any early edition. We have now re-published the 1917 edition incorporating the original text and vintage photos and illustrations. This edition had been considerably revised and enlarged giving many more pages of comprehensive information on this popular animal. Three hundred and sixty six pages contain twenty nine detailed chapters: Origin and Early History of the Goat; Varieties of Goats; British Milch Goats; Continental Milch Goats; Oriental and African Goats; The Angora or "Mohair" Goat; The Cashmere or "Shawl" Goat; Cross Bred Goats; Selecting a Milch Goat; Housing; Pasturing; Stall Feeding; Breeding; Rearing Kids; Milking; Goats' Milk; Its Virtues and Utilities; Goats' Butter and Cheese; The Flesh of the Goat; Other Products; The Goat as a Foster Mother; He-Goats and Goat-Carriages; Goat Farming; Shows and Showing; The British Goat Society; Goats and the Malta Fever; Diseases, Parasites, etc; Dishorning; Preventing Growth of Horns; Breeding Hornless Goats. etc. Since this book was first published the advance in goat keeping has been most marked. The improvement in the culture of the goat as a source of milk, fleece and meat has been manifest not in England alone, but globally. This historical record will be of major interest to goat keepers worldwide, with much of its content remaining relevant even to this day.

Dictionary of Zoo Biology and Animal Management by Paul A. Rees Pdf

This dictionary is intended as a guide to the terminology used in a wide range of animal-related programmes of study including agriculture, animal care, animal management, animal production, animal welfare, veterinary nursing, wildlife conservation and zoo biology. In total it contains over 5,300 entries. It contains a wide range of terms used in the fields of veterinary science, physiology and zoology, as students whose primary interests are animal welfare or zoo biology also need to have some understanding of disease, how animal bodies function and how animals are classified. It also contains some legal terms, and reference to some legal cases, to help students understand how the protection, use and conservation of animals is regulated by the law. Some people, famous animals, literature and films have influenced the way we think about, and behave towards, animals. For this reason, the book includes references to important books about animals, famous animals who have starred in films or been the subject of scientific studies, along with short biographies of famous scientists and others who have studied animals or established conservation or animal welfare organisations.

A Breed Apart by Adam Henson Pdf

Discover a forgotten British heritage. The protection and promotion of the UK’s native rare breeds is something that’s in Adam Henson’s blood. His father, Joe, established the Rare Breeds Trust in 1973,and they have been a core attraction at their Cotswold Farm Park, and a part of the Henson family story ever since. In A Breed Apart, Adam Henson takes readers on a very personal journey around the nation, discovering the animals that have shaped our lives and our land throughout the centuries. From postcard perfect Highland Cows to the Cotswold sheep (for whom the Cotswolds are named), to the fearsome, four-horned Manx Loagthan ram and the Ulster White Pig, Adam travels the length and breadth of the British Isles, uncovering the history of these ancient animals, meeting the specialists and farmers who are passionate about their preservation, and shares his hopes for the future of these magnificent and unique breeds and his fight for their survival. This is the story of Britain, told through the native breeds that have nourished and nurtured the nation.
