Livestock refers to domesticated animals that are raised in an agricultural setting to produce commodities like eggs, fur, meat, milk, wool and leather. Livestock animals can be domestic, semidomestic or captive wild animals. Livestock production is a major economic and cultural contributor in many rural communities. Proper feeding, good husbandry and hygiene are important for ensuring the good health of animals. The routine use of vaccinations and antibiotics promote growth in animals and render immunity against deadly diseases. Intensive animal farming is an upcoming aspect of modern agriculture, where livestock are reared in factory farms. This has potentially raised the yield but has also raised concerns on its negative impact on environment and animal health and welfare. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to livestock management. It strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of the latest trends in this field. It will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in this area of study.
