Abstract

Cattle breeding, adopted in the Neolithic for the production of milk/meat and the supply of 
natural fertilisers for the soil by cattle manure, is however abandoned in favour of field crops. 
This specialization and intensification of agricultural production threatens the state of our 
soils. Several parameters are evaluated to objectively assess the state of soil fertility. This 
work focuses on the total organic carbon of the soil as well as the various essential nutrients 
(organic nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium). Total organic carbon is essential for many key 
soil functions. It thus determines the quality and fertility of a soil. The factors influencing its 
dynamics are numerous but this work focuses on the effects of the contribution of organic 
matter to the soil in the form of cattle manure. Grasslands also play a critical role in 
sequestering total organic carbon. The Natural Park of Scheldt Plains, located on the silty, 
sandy-silty and Campine Hennuyère agricultural regions, is seeing large-scale crops spread to 
the detriment of cattle farms. This territory presents general deficiencies in the different 
nutrients studied within the two study groups (farms with and without cattle) applying 
livestock effluents on their agricultural soils. However, deficiencies are accentuated in the 
agricultural land of farms without cattle. These nutrient deficiencies appear to decrease with 
increasing amounts of manure applied. However, despite the use of organic and/or mineral 
fertilizers, the state of soil fertility seems difficult to maintain. Grazed grassland soils have 
higher total organic carbon and organic nitrogen levels than cropland but deficiencies remain.

Abstract

La quatrième de couverture indique : "Cette nouvelle édition actualisée aborde les notions essentielles de l'élevage des bovins allaitants (qualité des produits, reproduction, alimentation, sélection, santé et économie) en tenant compte du contexte actuel. Le coût de la viande produite en élevage allaitant étant supérieur à celui de la viande produite dans les troupeaux laitiers, il est impératif que les éleveurs de bovins allaitants améliorent leur productivité (numérique et pondérale) pour être compétitifs. Compte tenu de cette situation, et pour réduire ce coût de production, l'auteur apporte des conseils pratiques aux éleveurs en leur proposant : d'améliorer la productivité numérique en maîtrisant les critères de reproduction et en réduisant le taux de mortalité des veaux ; d'améliorer la productivité pondérale, tout en diminuant les coûts de production par une meilleure maîtrise de la production fourragère (en encourageant l'autonomie fourragère voire alimentaire), sans augmenter les charges opérationnelles (concentré, frais vétérinaires, fertilisants, etc.) ; de revoir la conduite d'élevage de génisses de renouvellement en s'orientant vers le vêlage à deux ans et réformer rapidement les animaux improductifs ; de faire appel à la génomie, en vue d'améliorer les performances des animaux et de produire une viande de qualité à un prix compétitif par rapport aux autres viandes ; d'améliorer leurs revenus en produisant de l'énergie, par l'installation de panneaux photovoltaïques ou d'unités de méthanisation. Il prend également en compte dans sa réflexion la réforme de la PAC et ses orientations. L'ouvrage présente les principales races sous forme de fiches pratiques"

Abstract

Over 25 leading animal scientists have combined their expertise to produce the first single source reference that covers successful reproductive techniques that will, most likely, be the wave of the future. Factors Affecting Calf Crop: Biotechnology of Reproduction provides a detailed compilation of technology for managing reproduction in cattle. Topics include an in-depth discussion on techniques currently approved for controlling the estrus cycle in cattle and new products under development and awaiting approval. It describes and discusses factors affecting bull fertility and information on embryo collection and utilization technology.

Abstract

"In 2001-2002, the EU Phare Business Support Programme funded an inter-country project dealing with strengthening of cattle breeders associations as business representative organisations in eight then EU candidate countries: Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. Breeders associations from Austria, Germany and Italy also participated in the project, while the European Association for Animal Production acted as the project leader. The project also known under its acronym as BABROC aimed at facilitating the integration of the cattle industries in the Central and Eastern European countries in the EU system and at improving quality of services provided by breeders associations to their members. The present publication contains invited papers for the international workshop on the image of cattle industry and its products, held in Verona, Italy 8 March 2002. Technical papers as well as statements made by Messrs. J. Fischler, EU Commissary, and G. Alemanno, Italian Minister of Agriculture, deal with expectations of consumers regarding the safety and quality of cattle products as the basic message for all involved in the cattle industry."
