        Milk of Non Bovine Mammals

        Chemistry and Health Benefits

        by Anamika Das, Tanmay Hazra & Rohit G Shindhav

        .Milk is an integral part of human diet from ancient times. It provides a significant amount of protein, micronutrients and vitamins, which are essential to alleviate and fight malnutrition. To the worlds total milk production, Cow milk contributes 82.7%, followed by milk from Buffaloes, Goats, Sheeps and Camels. Cow milk contributes almost majority of worlds total milk production. Apart from plenty of health benefits of cow milk, the adverse effects or devil side of cow milk have been observed for certain population in the world. These adverse effects have been categorized as symptoms ofLactose intolerance- a condition characterized by difficulty in digesting milk due to absence of particular enzyme Lactase. Milk allergy occurs due to adverse immune reaction due to presence of certain milk proteins and this is usually termed as milk allergy cow milk protein allergy (CMPA). Non-cow (goat, camel, donkey, yak, horse) milks are closely associated with the culinary cultures of many societies throughout the world. Non-Bovine milks draw great interest for researchers in terms of milk production, technology, chemistry, microbiology, safety, nutrition, and health aspects

This is the power of research which is unparallel to any other profession. Sadly, our young generation is not well versed with research as career and have developed some wrong notions about it. If you are intelligent, diligent and wish to make some achievement in your life, why dont join a research career. Even richest persons of the world (Noble, Ruther Ford, Billgate, Narain Murthy etc.) are those who made some innovations in their life. Alternatively, if you consider to pass life as a mission, you may join research in parasitic diseases, a less travelled path, which will help you to serve the humanity by finding some new ideas which will help in eradicating diseases of humans and his animals. This is the book which will provide you some details how you may join research activities in Parasitology and carry over research work in your life.

        by K.S. Gangadhar, K. Satyanarayan, K.C. Veeranna, V. Jagadeeswary, & J. Shilpa Shree

        It is a well known fact that each of the components of the course namely, livestock economics, marketing, entrepreneurship, business management and accountancy, forms an independent and separate study by itself. The libraries in the agricultural universities and veterinary universities are also not very much equipped with more number of books in these subjects. The book makes the task of teaching and learning easier, as all information on various topics connected to livestock economics, marketing, entrepreneurship, business management and accountancy in the form of a handbook, which will serve the needs of the teachers and students who are involved in this course work. The narration is done in a very simple way without complicating the information, presented with many graphs and mathematical expressions. This book would also benefit veterinary professionals and extension officers who are involved in promoting livestock entrepreneurship activities.

        Propagation of Horticultural Plants

        Arid and Semi-Arid Regions

        by R.S.Singh & R.Bhargava

        In semi arid and arid regions of the country, a vast land resource (39.54 m ha) is available which is underutilized, having good potential of expansion for quality production of several horticultural, medicinal, spices, ornamental and crops of economic importance. The horticulture can play vital role in diversification of these untapped natural resources. T he development of arid horticulture is not very old; the published literature on many crops of economic importance and their multiplication is also scanty. Looking to prospects of such underutilized crop, its propagation methodology should be standardized for large scale plantation through availability of quality planting material. The work on production technology of underutilized arid horticultural crops in limited and scattered. Therefore, an effort was made to compile the work done so far in the field of multiplication of semi- arid and arid horticultural plants with special reference to Indian scenario in the form of a book to develop the knowledge base of all those involved in research and development of cold and hot arid lands. This book will be useful for the scientists, teachers, researchers, students, growers, policy makers and also for the personnel engaged in nursery management. The contributors of different s included in the book are well known personality in their field.

        Practical Lessons and The Way Ahead

        by M.H. Mehta

        The Sustainable Development Goals endorsed by the United Nations, put great emphasis on moving away from heavy input agricultural system to more eco-friendly and balanced farming. Eco Agriculture or Agro Ecology is the approach capable of producing enough food and accessible food without harming the environment.This book is about moving from Know How to Do How and brings about rich experience in industrial research and farm scale demonstrations in different parts of the world to show the practical aspects of Eco Agriculture. Theory and practice and recent developments in the areas of Bio Fertilizers, Bio Pesticides, and Bio Composts and agro-waste management form important base for Eco Agriculture practices. The global scenario of industrial development and future trends are discussed with much authority because of the extensive experience of the Author. Encouraged by field studies and success stories, the Author - who is President of a leading NGO - The Science Ashram and Chairman of a well-known Agri Bio Tech Company, Gujarat Life Sciences - has discussed the global scenario and emerging trends. His now famous 20:20 model of Eco Agriculture (20% more farm production with more than 20% reduction in input costs in a sustainable manner) emerges out of this. Developments and field experiences in Bio shield, Water use efficiencies, ICT, Rehabilitation post disasters like Earth Quake and Tsunami, Saline Water Agriculture and River Revival Projects, Urban agriculture and their common link for Eco Agriculture Revolution makes the book especially significant. Finally, the Author describes the Way Ahead for Eco Agri Revolution including aspects of Soil and Waters and COP 22. The conviction about the coming Eco Agri Revolution and planning and implementation for a sustainable future are the final thoughts that makes this book extremely valuable the current and future generations.
