Résumé : |
This book is an important reference for people interested in concepts and methodologies for holistic approaches to reserach and development in livestock farming systems. It arose from an international symposium involving researchers in animal production which explored the key contemporary issues facing this field, which concerns a growing number of scientist in Europe and beyond. The research papers present the theoretical and methodological background, reflecting the current interest in systemic modelling of livestock farming activities at different scales. The dozen refereed main papers are supported by sisty shorter papers, also refereed, illustrating a great diversity of current research work throughout Europe and in developing countries. Three main topics are investigated:
- General concepts and approaches for evaluating farmers practices and livestock farms functioning including, for example, epidemiology and herd health management. - Livestock farming systems studies, focusing on current issues such as economic and social change and environment and the landscape. - Methods and tools for evaluating livestock farming systems. For animal production professionals, this book is more than just a collection of conference papers. It is a thoroughly edited reference, drawing on work from over twenty countries, which sets out the state of the art in this fiels, from its conceptual bases through systems modelling, to practical tools. |
