Growth of Farm Animals

Historical changes in demand for livestock products have been primarily driven by human population development, income growth and urbanization, and the response of various livestock systems to production has been related to science and technology, as well as an increase in animal numbers. The livestock species play very important economic and socio-cultural roles for the wellbeing of rural households which include food supply, source of income, asset saving, source of employment, soil fertility, livelihoods, and agricultural practices. This book deals with the processes that change the shape and structure of farm animals critical for all aspects of production. It also focuses on growth and development factors, such as the environment, management practices and genetics.
