Book Description
Excerpt from Livestock and Poultry Situation and Outlook Report, Vol. 36: July 1989 Commercial pork production for all of 1989 is estimated at billion pounds, up 2 percent from 1988 and the most since 1980. Barrow and gilt prices are expected to average $40 to $43 per cwt, compared with $43 in 1988. Retail pork prices may average around per pound, down 3 to 5 cents from a year ago. Beef production is projected at billion pounds, down 3 percent from 1988. Choice slaughter steer prices are expected to average $71 to' $74 per cwt, compared with $70 in 1988. Feeder steer prices may average about the same as 1988's $84 per cwt. The relatively high feeder cattle prices should provide a incentive for cow-calf producers to retain heifers to rebuild their herds. Retail beef prices may average 10 to 15 cents higher than 1988's per pound. Relatively high returns are encouraging broiler producers to expand production about 6 percent in 1989 to billion pounds. In 1989, 12-city wholesale broiler prices are expected to average 60 to 63 cents per pound, compared with 56 cents in 1988. Turkey production is expected to increase about 4 percent for all of 1989, after a 6percent rise in 1988. Although tur key prices are up from a year ago, high feed costs have cur tailed producers' tetums. Wholesale hen prices in the eastern region are expected to average 68 to 71 cents per pound, compared with 61 cents in 1988. Relatively high tur key prices combined with lower feed costs will boost producers' returns in second-half 1989. Egg production is projected to decline about 2 percent in 1989, following a slight decline in 1988. Egg prices are expected to average 73 to 76 cents per dozen in 1989, up sharply from 1988's 62 cents. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Air Emissions from Animal Feeding Operations: Current Knowledge, Future Needs discusses the need for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to implement a new method for estimating the amount of ammonia, nitrous oxide, methane, and other pollutants emitted from livestock and poultry farms, and for determining how these emissions are dispersed in the atmosphere. The committee calls for the EPA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to establish a joint council to coordinate and oversee short - and long-term research to estimate emissions from animal feeding operations accurately and to develop mitigation strategies. Their recommendation was for the joint council to focus its efforts first on those pollutants that pose the greatest risk to the environment and public health.

Book Description
Meat and dairy production and consumption are in crisis. Globally 60 billion farm animals are used for food production every year. It is well accepted that methane emissions from cattle and other livestock are major contributors to greenhouse gas levels and to climate change. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) predicts a rough doubling of meat and milk consumption by 2050, with particularly rapid growth occurring in the developing economies of Asia. This could raise the number of farm animals used annually to nearer 120 billion. What will this mean for the health and wellbeing of those animals, of the people who consume ever larger quantities of animal products, and for the health of the planet itself? This powerful and challenging book explores these issues surrounding the global growth in the production and consumption of meat and dairy animals and products, including cultural and health factors, and the implications of the likely intensification of farming for both small-scale producers and for the animals. Several chapters explore the related environmental issues, from resource use of water, cereals and soya, to the impact of livestock production on global warming and issues concerning biodiversity, land use and the impacts of different farming systems on the environment. A final group of chapters addresses ethical and policy implications for the future of food and livestock production and consumption. The overall message is clearly that we must eat less meat to help secure a more sustainable and equitable world.
