Sheep Production in the Tropics
Author: Alan Blake CarlesPublisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
This book describes the major components of sheep production and ecology and reviews the "sheep environment," including aspects of climate, vegetation, disease, wildlife, and socioeconomic factors. The major breeds and types relevant to the tropics are described in terms of the main biological characteristics that affect productivity. Also examined are the techniques required in applying the principles of genetics, nutrition, disease prevention, and economics to sheep production systems.

Calculation of Demographic Parameters in Tropical Livestock Herds
Author: Matthieu LesnoffPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 9401790264
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
Having indicators to assess the effect of zootechnical, sanitary, economic or political intervention or the impact of environmental risks makes it possible to draw up strategies for improving domestic animal populations. This handbook is a compilation of the main concepts relating to the definition and calculation of demographic rates for largely non-intensive tropical animal farms. It is intended to be educational, and should help students, technicians, engineers, researchers and development staff to understand the definitions and formulas encountered in the literature more clearly and make them more self-sufficient in terms of analyses.
Tick Vector Biology
Author: Bruce FivazPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642766439
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
The book provides a comprehensive account of ticks and tick-borne diseases occurring in tropical and subtropical areas. It begins with a complete up-to-date overview of the systematics of the Ixodida (Ixodidae, Argasidae and Nutalliellidae) and is followed by a review of the problem of ticks and tick-borne diseases of domestic animals world wide. This leads on to multi-disciplinary approaches to planning tick and tick-borne disease control and to contributions on calculating the economic impact of a tick species such as Amblyomma americanum on beef production systems. Heartwater fever (cowdriosis) and dermatophilosis are endemic in Africa and pose a threat to the North American mainland. The epidemiology of these two diseases is discussed in detail as is the role of frozen vaccines to control bovine babesiosis and anaplasmosis. The book also includes chapters on tick transmitted zoonoses such as Lyme borreliosis, tick typhus and ehrlichiosis. It concludes with a review of the acaricidal treatment of tick infestation.
