In agriculture, where the complicated relationship between humans and animals defines our society, "Livestock Production and Management" offers a detailed introduction to this age-old collaboration. This book explores the core of livestock production, drawing on animal husbandry's rich history and current science. This book explores cattle management from ancient traditions that have maintained people for generations to the problems and possibilities of a quickly changing world. The book covers breeding, feeding, and health management as well as ethical issues, environmental effect, and technology advances in cattle production. The parts in this book were written by researchers, practitioners, and thinkers who have a lot of experience (and knowledge). Each part is a treasure trove of information, covering everything from the ins and outs of maximizing food inputs to the moral aspects of animal care. It's a must-read for farmers, students, lawmakers, and anyone else interested in the complex web of livestock production. The story of the book takes place against a background of important world problems, such as the growing need for animal goods and the need for adaptable and healthy farming methods. People are encouraged to come up with new ideas, combine old-fashioned knowledge with modern convenience, and learn more about how people and animals are connected.

This open access book provides an evidence-based roadmap for revitalising Indian agriculture while ensuring that the growth process is efficient, inclusive, and sustainable, and results in sustained growth of farmers’ incomes. The book, instead of looking for global best practices and evaluating them to assess the possibility of replicating these domestically, looks inward at the best practices and experiences within Indian states, to answer questions such as -- how the agricultural growth process can be speeded up and made more inclusive, and financially viable; are there any best practices that can be studied and replicated to bring about faster growth in agriculture; does the prior hypothesis that rapid agricultural growth can alleviate poverty faster, reduce malnutrition, and augment farmers’ incomes stand? To answer these questions, the book follows four broad threads -- i) Linkage between agricultural performance, poverty and malnutrition; ii) Analysing the historical growth performance of agricultural sector in selected Indian states; iii) Will higher agricultural GDP necessarily result in higher incomes for farmers; iv) Analysing the current agricultural policy environment to evaluate its efficiency and efficacy, and consolidate all analysis to create a roadmap. These are discussed in 12 chapters, which provide a building block for the concluding chapter that presents a roadmap for revitalising Indian agriculture while ensuring growth in farmers’ incomes.
