Emerging Issues in Climate Smart Livestock Production: Biological Tools and Techniques

Emerging Issues in Climate Smart Livestock Production: Biological Tools and Techniques is a detailed reference on livestock sustainability and the role of biotechnology for creating more sustainable livestock production systems. It is a collection of scientific techniques including genetic engineering that are used to modify and improve animals, fishes and microorganisms for human benefit. The book is particularly attractive for scientists, researchers, students, educators and professionals in agriculture, veterinary and biotechnology science. Biotechnology has the potential to improve the productivity of animals via increase growth, carcass quality and reproduction, improved nutrition and feed utilization, improved quality and safety of food, improved health and welfare of animals, and reduced waste through more efficient utilization of resources. This book promotes several biotechnological approaches that can easily be evaluated in the field of quality assurance programs beneficial to produce livestock products and overall public health.
