Understanding and improving the functional and nutritional properties of milk
Comprehensive coverage of the latest research in isolating and analysing the diverse range of compounds in milk Reviews the genetic factors that affect milk composition, as well as the ways milk chemistry can affect sensory quality Explores the importance of milk as a valuable commodity
Understanding the behaviour and improving the welfare of pigs
Emphasises advances in understanding pig behaviour as the foundation for understanding and improving welfare Comprehensive coverable of welfare issues across the value chain, covering breeding and gestation, farrowing and lactation, weaning, growing and finishing as well as transport, lairage and slaughter Particular focus on ways of assessing and reducing pain in such areas as tail docking and castration
Understanding and Improving the Functional and Nutritional Properties of Milk
The dairy sector is under increasing scrutiny on environmental, welfare and health grounds. One way of addressing these challenges is to highlight and optimise the nutritional and functional properties of milk as part of a balanced diet. Understanding and improving the functional and nutritional properties of milk reviews the latest research on the remarkable range of functional and nutritional properties of milk that make it both a key food source and ingredient in a wide range of dairy products. The collection discusses proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and other components of milk, as well as how our understanding can be used to optimise the quality of milk and dairy products such as cheese and yoghurt. Edited by two world-renowned experts in dairy science, Understanding and improving the functional and nutritional properties of milk will be a standard reference for university and other researchers in dairy and veterinary sciences, dairy veterinary practitioners, as well as governments and other regulatory agencies involved in milk production.
Understanding the behaviour and improving the welfare of dairy cattle
Particularly strong focus on understanding dairy cattle behaviour as the foundation for improving welfare in such areas as cognition and learning, pain and stress as well as social behaviour Covers developments in more animal/outcome-based welfare indicators as well as advanced sensor, acoustic and video techniques for monitoring behaviour and welfare Comprehensive review of welfare issues across the value chain, from calves and heifers to culling
How Scientists Communicate
This book offers incredible insight into the history, objectives, and styles of the modern scientific research paper.
Managing biodiversity in agricultural landscapes
Provides a comprehensive overview of the key concepts in biodiversity management within agricultural landscapes Considers the role of farmers and rural communities in implementing ecological restoration practices Reviews the importance of habitat and animal rewilding in promoting biodiversity and other key ecosystem services
Advances in measuring soil health
Comprehensive overview of key advances in measuring soil biological, physical and chemical properties Particularly strong coverage of developments in measuring soil biological activity, including molecular techniques such as next-generation sequencing as well as improvements in measuring fauna such as earthworms, microbial and fungal communities Focus on ways of using analytical techniques in practice through the use of soil health indicators and decision support systems (DSS)
Improving dairy herd health
Particular focus on prerequisites required for effective herd health management (HHM) programmes, including understanding bovine disease epidemiology, improving disease surveillance (including the use of sensors), data-driven decision-making based on cow health records, as well as advances in understanding and optimising immune response Reviews HHM issues across the dairy cow life cycle, from reproduction and calf health to the transition stage and replacement of stock Shows how HHM programmes can work in practice for particular conditions, from udder and hoof health to preventing metabolic disorders, bacterial and viral diseases as well as parasitic infections
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
Developing smart agri-food supply chains
Highlights current issues that challenge the safety of agri-food supply chains (e.g. food adulteration, malicious contamination) Assesses the recent developments implemented to improve safety and quality at all levels of the agri-food supply chain, including the use of smart agri-food systems Emphasis on the need for improved tracking and traceability systems of food products to prevent and manage potential threats to safety
