Extract: Australia is a major producer and exporter of beef and veal. In 1982, Australia exported 628 kilotons of beef and veal valued at US $1,177 million. Half of Australia's beef and veal was imported by the United States and Japan. The Australian cattle industry depends on grazing; consequently, number of cattle, slaughter, and production have fluctuated considerably from droughts, diseases, cattle cycles, and changing export markets. The United States and Australia significantly affect one another's beef industries. The United States influences the Australian beef and veal industry indirectly through beef cycle price changes, and directly through the Countercyclical Meat Import Law. Australia will continue to compete strongly with the United States in beef export markets.

Beef Cattle Production and Trade covers all aspects of the beef industry from paddock to plate. It is an international text with an emphasis on Australian beef production, written by experts in the field. The book begins with an overview of the historical evolution of world beef consumption and introductory chapters on carcass and meat quality, market preparation and world beef production. North America, Brazil, China, South-East Asia and Japan are discussed in separate chapters, followed by Australian beef production, including feed lotting and live export. The remaining chapters summarise R&D, emphasising the Australian experience, and look at different production systems and aspects of animal husbandry such as health, reproduction, grazing, feeding and finishing, genetics and breeding, production efficiency, environmental management and business management. The final chapter examines various case studies in northern and southern Australia, covering feed demand and supply, supplements, pasture management, heifer and weaner management, and management of internal and external parasites.
