Livestock Handling and Transport
Author: Temple Grandin
Publisher: Cab International
ISBN: 9781845932190
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
This book brings together the latest research data and practical information on animal handling, restraint methods and the design of facilities and transport. Published 14 years after the first edition, the third edition is fully updated with the latest research findings. An extensively revised introductory chapter covers the increasing awareness of animal welfare around the world and outlines the effective auditing programmes of large, corporate meat buyers. Three new authors have chapters on sheep transport, biosecurity and low-stress methods for sorting cattle and weaning calves. To provide an additional perspective on livestock management in South America, Asia, India and other regions, two new co-authors have been added to the chapters on cattle transport and the handling of cattle raised in close association with people. The best of the old material - including all the popular handling system layouts and behaviour diagrams - has been kept. All aspects of animal handling are covered, such as handling for veterinary and husbandry procedures, stress physiology, restraint methods, transport, corral and stockyard design, handling at slaughter plants and welfare. The principles of animal behaviour are covered for cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, deer and poultry. The extensive reference lists in each chapter will help preserve important knowledge that may not be available on the Internet. Also, at the end of the book is an index of useful web pages on handling, behaviour and transport. This book is an invaluable resource for students and professionals in animal behaviour, applied psychology and animal and veterinary sciences, and livestock producers, regulatory bodies and animal welfare groups.

The Horse in My Blood
Author: Victoria Soyan Peemot

ISBN: 1805392972
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
A fascinating interspecies relationship can be seen among the horse breeding pastoralists in the Altai and Saian Mountains of Inner Asia. Victoria Soyan Peemot herself grew up in a community with close human-horse relationships and uses her knowledge of the local language and horsemanship practices. Building upon Indigenous research epistemologies, she engages with the study of how the human-horse relationships interact with each other, experience injustices and develop resilience strategies as multispecies unions.

Exmoor ponies and the livestock genesis of the horse
Author: Helmut Hemmer
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 3759787533
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
Die Ansicht um die wahre Natur der im Moorheidegebiet des Exmoors im Südwesten Englands frei lebenden Ponys pendelte in den letzten hundert Jahren mehrfach hin und her zwischen einer sehr ursprünglich gebliebenen Hauspferderasse und einem überlebenden Wildpferd. Für die Klärung dieses Problems entscheidend wichtige quantitative Verhaltensstudien zum Wild- oder Viehwesen dieser Pferde und paläontologische Vergleichsstudien fehlten weitgehend. Dieses Buch bringt nun die Lösung zugunsten einer Reliktpopulation des Europäischen Bergponys und weist damit das kaum für möglich gehaltene Fortleben eines bedeutenden britischen und gesamteuropäischen Naturerbes nach.

Horse Pasture Management
Author: Paul H. Sharpe
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 032395085X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 634
Book Description
Horse Pasture Management, Second Edition provides updated coverage on strategies for managing behavior, grouping, environments and feeding needs of grazing horses. Sections cover the structure, function and identification of forages, continuing into nutritional value of pasture plants. Management of soil, the function of a pasture ecosystem and management of plants in a pasture is covered next, followed by forage yield determination, horse grazing behavior, feed choices of horses, management of grazing horses, and how to calculate how many horses should be grazing relative to land size. Advantages of grazing more than one species of animal are described. Management of hay and silage are included since year-round grazing is not possible on many horse farms. Several chapters deal with interactions of a horse farm with the environment, including climate and weather and other living things. The book also covers strategies for managing manure, erosion, and water quality. It is ideal for researchers, scientists and students involved in animal science, specifically equine studies. Agriculturists, equine managers and veterinarians will also find this book useful. - Includes information on environmental best practices, plant and soil assessments, and wildlife concerns - Features a new section on reducing carbon emissions and increasing sustainability on horse farms - Explains pasture-related diseases, weed management and toxic plants to avoid - Recommends relevant published resources and extension programs
