Improved Pasture Crops and Pasture Practices for Central Alberta (Classic Reprint) by F. H. Reed Pdf

Excerpt from Improved Pasture Crops and Pasture Practices for Central Alberta Pasture is an important and essential part of any successful farming scheme that involves the maintenance of live stock. A combination of live stock and crop farming forms the basis of a more permanent and superior system of agriculture than where either grain or live stock is produced singly. Live stock enables the farmer to profitably utilize coarse grains and forage crops which of themselves are of secondary importance, but which are necessary in implementing approved crop rotations and agri cultural practices. -the return of fertility to the land through the medium of manure is an important factor in establishing a permanent agriculture.

The Production of Cheaper and Better Forage Crops for Live Stock in Central Alberta (Classic Reprint) by George E. Delong Pdf

Excerpt from The Production of Cheaper and Better Forage Crops for Live Stock in Central Alberta The problem Of finding suitable pasture and winter feed for live stock is Of increasing importance to farmers as well as ranchers who are producing beef on grass, i.s., during the summer months only. The live stock producer in many cases is at a disadvantage in that little provision is made for Winter feed. Under such conditions, there tends to be many unfinished cattle on the market in the fall and an increasing demand for stocker cattle in the spring with the result that unfinished cattle sell cheaply in the fall and command a relatively high price in the spring. The natural result of such a condition is that there is little profit in the cattle business. The production of suitable feeds for live stock would reduce the cost Of production and result in the more orderly marketing Of better finished cattle at comparatively higher prices which, in turn, would net the grower greater profits and returns per animal and per acre.

An Ecological and Grazing Capacity Study of the Native Grass Pastures in Southern Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba (Classic Reprint) by S. E. Clarke Pdf

Excerpt from An Ecological and Grazing Capacity Study of the Native Grass Pastures in Southern Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba In 1937 a survey of the grasslands in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba was inaugurated as one of the activities of the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation program. The chief purposes of the survey are, to classify the native grasslands according to the botanical composition of the vegetation, to ascertain the carrying capacity Of the various grazing districts, and to determine how the native grass pastures should be utilized in order to secure the maximum production of animal products and yet maintain the forage cover. Since the inception of the survey slightly over three million acres have been studied. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Mitigation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Livestock Production by Pierre J. Gerber,Benjamin Henderson,Harinder P. S. Makkar Pdf

The current analysis was conducted to evaluate the potential of nutritional, manure and animal husbandry practices for mitigating methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) - i.e. non-carbon dioxide (CO2) - GHG emissions from livestock production. These practices were categorized into enteric CH4, manure management and animal husbandry mitigation practices. Emphasis was placed on enteric CH4 mitigation practices for ruminant animals (only in vivo studies were considered) and manure mitigation practices for both ruminant and monogastric species. Over 900 references were reviewed; simulation and life cycle assessment analyses were generally excluded

Silvopastoral Systems in Southern South America by Pablo Luis Peri,Francis Dube,Alexandre Varella Pdf

This multi-authored volume contains peer-reviewed chapters from leading researchers and professionals in silvopastoral systems topic in Southern South America (Argentina, Chile and South Brazil). It is a compendium of original research articles, case studies, and regional overviews and summarizes the current state of knowledge on different components and aspects (pasture production, animal production, trees production, carbon sequestration, conservation) of silvopatoral systems in native forests and tree plantations. The main hypothesis of the book is that farmers have integrated tree and pasture/grassland species in their land use systems to reach higher production per unit of land area, risk avoidance, product diversification, and sustainability. These production systems also impact positively in main ecosystem processes. Management of these productive systems, Policy and Socioeconomic Aspects provide great opportunities and challenges for farmers and policy makers in our region. The book is unique on this subject in Southern South America and constitutes a valuable reference material for graduate students, professors, scientists and extensionists who work with silvopastoral systems.

Molecular Breeding of Forage Crops by German Spangenberg Pdf

Forage plant breeding has entered the genome era. This timely book reviews the latest advances in the development and application of molecular technologies which supplement conventional breeding efforts for our major forage crops. It describes the plethora of new technologies and tools now available for high-throughput gene discovery, genome-wide gene expression analysis, production of transgenic plants, genome analysis and marker-assisted selection as applied to forage plants. Detailed accounts are presented of current and future opportunities for innovative applications of these molecular tools and technologies in the identification, functional characterisation, and use of valuable genes in forage production systems and beyond. This book represents a valuable resource for plant breeders, geneticists, and molecular biologists, and will be of particular relevance to advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers with an interest in forage legumes and grasses.

Confessions of a Recovering Environmentalist and Other Essays by Paul Kingsnorth Pdf

A provocative and urgent essay collection that asks how we can live with hope in “an age of ecocide” Paul Kingsnorth was once an activist—an ardent environmentalist. He fought against rampant development and the depredations of a corporate world that seemed hell-bent on ignoring a looming climate crisis in its relentless pursuit of profit. But as the environmental movement began to focus on “sustainability” rather than the defense of wild places for their own sake and as global conditions worsened, he grew disenchanted with the movement that he once embraced. He gave up what he saw as the false hope that residents of the First World would ever make the kind of sacrifices that might avert the severe consequences of climate change. Full of grief and fury as well as passionate, lyrical evocations of nature and the wild, Confessions of a Recovering Environmentalist gathers the wave-making essays that have charted the change in Kingsnorth’s thinking. In them he articulates a new vision that he calls “dark ecology,” which stands firmly in opposition to the belief that technology can save us, and he argues for a renewed balance between the human and nonhuman worlds. This iconoclastic, fearless, and ultimately hopeful book, which includes the much-discussed “Uncivilization” manifesto, asks hard questions about how we’ve lived and how we should live.

The Beaver Hills Country by Graham MacDonald Pdf

This book explores a relatively small, but interesting and anomalous, region of Alberta between the North Saskatchewan and the Battle Rivers. Ecological themes, such as climatic cycles, ground water availability, vegetation succession and the response of wildlife, and the impact of fires, shape the possibilities and provide the challenges to those who have called the region home or used its varied resources: Indians, Metis, and European immigrants.
