Dairying - Using science to meet consumers’ needs
Authors: By E Kebreab, J Mills, D Beever
Dairying once again finds itself at a crossroads. Increasingly producers and the scientists who work with them need to harness their knowledge and expertise to meet the demands that consumers have for milk and milk products.

Feed into Milk - A new applied feeding system for dairy cows
Authors: Edited by C Thomas
Strategic research in ruminant nutrition has greatly improved our understanding of the processes involved in the conversion of feed to milk. However, the lack of an up to date framework to incorporate this knowledge into support systems has meant that much of the technology has not been transferred into practice in a way that can aid the sustainability of milk production systems.

Indicators of milk and beef quality
Authors: Editors: J.F. Hocquette and S. Gigli
The farming and agri-food sectors are faced with an increasing demand by consumers for high-quality products.The current major questions are thus how to define quality, and how to increase the quality of animal products to satisfy these new requirements.

Intestinal health - Key to maximise growth performance in livestock
Authors: Edited by Martin Verstegen, David Beever and Steve Collett
This book “Intestinal health: Key to maximise growth performance in livestock” reviews the changes in livestock production and some of the clinical and sub-clinical disease challenges faced in pig, poultry or ruminant production. The book discusses bacterial challenges such as E.coli, Salmonella. Clostridia and Campylobacter, as well as viral diseases such as circovirus or avian influenza.

Knowledge transfer in cattle husbandry
Authors: Edited by Abele Kuipers, Marija Klopcic and Cled Thomas
New management practices, attitudes and adaptation
This book addresses the principles of knowledge transfer and presents a wide scale of applications. Effective knowledge utilization requires that insights developed in the animal sciences are combined with social science approaches. That is accomplished in this book. The applications focus on the adoption of new management practices in cattle husbandry. In animal sciences the emphasis is generally on the technical and zoological know-how.

Livestock farming systems
Authors: Edited by R. Rubino, L. Sepe, A. Dimitriadou and A. Gibon
Product quality based on local resources leading to improved sustainability
Livestock farming increasingly means much more than just food production and product quality is no longer simply synonymous with food safety and the provision of energy and protein nutrients. This book examines the variety of reasons for this shift in thinking and provides a basis for a new approach to livestock farming systems. The topical issues for product quality based on local resources are addressed from a variety of angles, including genomics, land use, the consumer preference and human nutrition.

Mastitis in dairy production: Current knowledge and future solutions
Authors: Edited by H. Hogeveen
Worldwide, mastitis is still one of the most important diseases in the dairy sector. Being a multifactorial disease, caused by multiple pathogens, control remains a difficult issue. Mastitis not only affects the health of milk-producing animals, having consequences for the profitability of dairy farms, it also affects the animal welfare. Moreover, mastitis negatively influences the milk quality having consequences for the dairy processing industry. In other words: mastitis affects a large part of the dairy production chain.
