        Feline Reproduction

        by Aime Johnson, Michelle Kutzler

        Are We Pushing Animals to Their Biological Limits?

        Welfare and Ethical Implications

        by Temple Grandin, Martin Whiting

        Stimulating and thought-provoking, this important new text looks at the welfare problems and philosophical and ethical issues that are caused by changes made to an animal's telos, behaviour and physiology, both positive and negative, to make them more productive or adapted for human uses. These changes may involve selective breeding for production, appearance traits, or competitive advantage in sport, transgenic animals or the use of pharmaceuticals or hormones to enhance production or performance. Changes may impose duties to care for these animals further and more intensely, or they may make the animal more robust. The book considers a wide range of animals, including farm animals, companion animals and laboratory animals. It reviews the ethics and welfare issues of animals that have been adapted for sport, as companions, in work, as ornaments, food sources, guarding and a whole host of other human functions. This important new book sparks debate and is essential reading for all those involved in animal welfare and ethics, including veterinarians, animal scientists, animal welfare scientists and ethologists.

        Nutrition and Feeding Organic Cattle

        by Robert Blair

        Organic cattle farming is on the increase, with consumer demand for organic milk and meat growing yearly. Beginning with an overview of the aims and principles behind organic cattle production, this book presents extensive information about how to feed cattle so that the milk and meat produced meet organic standards, and provides a comprehensive summary of ruminant digestive processes and nutrition. Since the publication of the first edition, global consumers have increasingly become concerned with the sustainability of meat production. Here, Robert Blair considers the interrelationships of sustainable practices and profitability of organic herds, reviewing how to improve forage production and quality, and minimizing the need for supplementary feeding using off-farm ingredients. This new edition also covers: - Managing a recurrent shortage of organic feed ingredients, due to increased GM feed crop cultivation worldwide - Current findings on appropriate breeds and grazing systems for forage-based organic production - Diet-related health issues in organic herds and the effects of organic production on meat and milk quality. Required reading for animal science researchers, advisory personnel that service the organic milk and beef industries and students interested in organic milk and meat production, this book is also a useful resource for organic farming associations, veterinarians, and feed and food industry personnel.

        Livestock, Ethics and Quality of Life

        by Edited by John Hodges, In K Han

        The science of animal production has recently become headline news. The cloning of sheep, the use of pig xenotransplants and bovine somatotrophin, as well as mad-cow disease, are all examples of how livestock production is related to food safety, human health, ethics and quality of life. The relationship between intensive developed-world animal production and third world development also raises ethical issues. These are just some of the topics addressed in this book, which has its origin in a special symposium held at the VIII World Congress on Animal Production held in June 1998 in Korea. Additional chapters have been specially commissioned for inclusion in the book.

        Auf der Seidenstraße

        by Amnon Shamosh

        Auf der Seidenstraße - von Amnon Shamosh Die Geschichte handelt von jahrhundertealten Traditionen, historischen Ereignissen und Persönlichkeiten aus mehreren Jahrhunderten, die der Autor spannungsvoll miteinander verknüpft und bis in die heutige Zeit führt. Im Jahr 1400 kommt der große Eroberer Timur Lang in die syrische Stadt Haleb. Er holt zehn jüdische Seidenhändlerfamilien nach Samarkand, in die Hauptstadt seines Imperiums an der Seidenstraße. Timur entführt gleichzeitig mehrere jüdische Jungfrauen Halebs in seinen Harem. Timurs Sohn verliebt sich in eine der Frauen. König Elias wird geboren und islamisch erzogen. Er macht sich nach Spanien auf, um als Sohn einer Jüdin die christliche und jüdische Welt kennen- und verstehen zulernen. Bei der Rückkehr findet er schließlich eine Braut in Haleb, der Stadt seiner Vorfahren mütterlicherseits. Gleichzeitig erzählt uns der Autor vom Leben in einem Jerusalemer Viertel am Beginn des 20sten Jahrhunderts, wo neue Einwanderer aus Buchara, einem Zentrum der jüdischen Diaspora bei Samarkand, und Haleb zusammenleben. Schließlich werden wir in die letzte Dekade des 20sten Jahrhunderts geführt, als wiederum zahlreiche Juden aus dem nun sowjetischen Buchara in das nach ihnen benannte Jerusalemer Viertel auswandern. Mit dem hier geborenen Protagonisten des Romans Oshi gelingt es dem Autor, die unterschiedlichen zeitlichen Ebenen zusammenzuführen, denn Oshi ist ein Nachkömmling der Familie Dayan, deren Wurzeln bis zu den nach Samarkand geschickten jüdischen Familien zurückreichen. (über den Autor siehe Die Safras) Rechte in deutscher und anderen Sprachen noch erhältlich
