简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 From the 12th ICPD (2004), held in Lansing, Michigan, 100-plus contributions address issues associated with the management and breeding of animals for intense agricultural production--issues that impact production economics as well as animal welfare and, presumably, the welfare of the consumer. Intended for veterinarians, researchers, and others involved in animal husbandry, contributions are organized in sections on transition cow biology and management, metabolic effects of immune mediators, animal behavior and welfare, infection and infectious diseases, reproductive health, epidemiology of production diseases, alternatives to growth promoting antibiotics, macromineral metabolism, micromineral nutrition, the role of specific fatty acids, mastitis, rumen digestion and metabolism, and the application of genomics to production diseases. The volume is not indexed, but a searchable CD-ROM version is included. Distributed in the U.S. by Enfield. Annotation 漏2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
