Achieving sustainable cultivation of rice Volume 1
Reviews developments in understanding and protecting genetic diversity in rice, and how this translates into marker-assisted and other developments in breeding; Discusses advances in breeding varieties with enhanced properties such as high yield and drought tolerance; Summarises current research on understanding and improving nutritional properties such as vitamin and mineral content
Achieving sustainable production of eggs Volume 2
Discusses latest research on welfare issues for laying hens such as beak trimming; Summarises advances in optimising hen nutrition and health; Assesses developments in reducing the environmental impact of egg production
Achieving sustainable cultivation of potatoes Volume 2
Comprehensive coverage of improvements in cultivation techniques across the potato value chain, from yield modelling to post-harvest storage Detailed review of the main fungal, bacterial and viral diseases affecting potatoes Reviews best practices for improving nutrient management in potato cultivation
Achieving sustainable production of poultry meat Volume 3
Reviews latest research on bacterial and viral diseases affecting poultry as well as other threats such as parasites; Discusses current research on disease management such as competitive exclusion treatments and other methods to boost immune function; Summarises advances in understanding poultry behaviour and improving flock welfare
Understanding and optimising the nutraceutical properties of fruit and vegetables
Provides a comprehensive overview of the wealth of research on analysing, understanding and optimising the nutraceutical properties of fruit and vegetables, focussing primarily on phytochemicals/phytochemical compounds Reviews the current research on mechanisms of action and the potential role of key phytochemical compounds, such as antioxidants and flavonoids, in preventing the onset of chronic diseases Explores current advances in understanding and improving the nutraceutical properties of key horticultural crops, including apples, cranberries, broccoli and other brassicas
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from livestock production
A comprehensive review of both the causes of greenhouse gas emissions from livestock and the range of ways these emissions can be reduced Particularly strong focus on the range of nutritional strategies, from forage and silage to feed supplements such as plant bioactive compounds and direct-fed microbials as well as inhibitors and vaccines Covers other approaches such as genetics and selection, improved husbandry as well as manure management
Achieving sustainable cultivation of barley
Strong focus on advances in understanding barley physiology which inform decisions about breeding and cultivation Detailed coverage of molecular breeding techniques such as genome wide association studies (GWAS) and targeted induced lesions in genomes (TILLING) Covers latest research on optimising barley for particular end uses such as malting, brewing and animal feed
Seaweed and microalgae as alternative sources of protein
Summarises current advances in the use of seaweed and microalgae as alternative sources of protein primarily in the livestock sector Provides an authoritative assessment on the need for alternative protein/energy sources in the agricultural market Highlights the adaptability of seaweed/macroalgae for use across different diets (e.g. human, ruminant, swine, poultry, marine)
Structure and Dynamics of Fungal Populations
Fungi are among the most versatile and diverse groups of organisms in their morphology, life cycles, and ecology. This has provided endless fasci nation and intrigue to those who have studied fungi, but it has also made it difficult to understand fungal biology from the perspective of the broader fields of evolution, ecology, genetics, and population biology. That is changing. Details of fungal biology have been elucidated at an exciting pace, increasingly allowing us to understand fungi on the bases of general biological principles. Moreover, many who study fungi have lately emulated some of the great mycologists and plant pathologists of the early years in applying an insight born of broad...
Advances in sustainable dairy cattle nutrition
Reviews advances in our understanding of key nutritional requirements (carbohydrate, protein, lipids) and their utilisation in dairy cattle production Considers how a greater understanding of dairy cattle nutrition could improve the sustainability of the dairy sector and reduce its contribution of GHG emissions to the atmosphere Assesses the development of alternative feed sources from agricultural co-products, including sources of fibre from fruit pulp, protein from distillers grains and starch from cereals
