Cattle Health and Nutrition Handbook (Paperback)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Cattle Health and Nutrition Handbook is an authoritative, science-driven guide for anyone responsible for the care, productivity, and long-term sustainability of beef or dairy herds. Written in a professional yet highly accessible style, it synthesizes the latest research in veterinary medicine, ruminant physiology, and precision nutrition into one comprehensive reference.Across sixteen in-depth chapters, the handbook follows a logical progression-from the fundamentals of bovine digestive physiology and the essential nutrient requirements of calves, heifers, finishing steers, and lactating cows, through to the advanced frontiers of nutrigenomics, climate-smart feeding strategies, and integrated herd management. Readers gain a clear understanding of how energy, protein, minerals, and vitamins interact with genetics, environment, and management practices to shape animal health, feed efficiency, and reproductive success.Key topics include: - Preventive medicine and biosecurity protocols that reduce disease incidence and antibiotic dependence.- Economic frameworks for cost-benefit analysis of vaccination programs, feed investments, and supplementation strategies.- Cutting-edge insights into methane-reduction techniques, manure nutrient recycling, and crop-livestock integration to meet modern climate goals.- Practical guidance on low-stress handling, facility design, ventilation, and welfare standards that influence both productivity and market access.- A step-by-step roadmap for developing and updating a whole-herd health and nutrition plan, complete with record-keeping strategies and collaborative approaches with veterinarians and nutritionists.Combining rigorous scientific evidence with practical field experience, this handbook equips veterinarians, animal scientists, farm managers, extension agents, and advanced students with the tools to transform herd management. It demonstrates how careful integration of preventive health, nutrition science, and environmental stewardship not only protects animal welfare but also drives profitability and secures the social license of cattle production in a rapidly changing world.
