Description
This is a discussion of range and animal sciences for the next ten years (1987-1997). Animal agriculture is discussed in reference to dependency on space and weather as limiting factors, consumer income and preferences, environmental constraints, impact of energy and of labor on marketing, processing and transportation, animal welfare pressures, and political influence on free movement of goods. The article is divided into sections: ruminant nutrition, non-ruminant nutrition, reproductive physiology, range sciences, animal breeding and genetics and meat sciences.
