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 cinquième édition entièrement réactualisée tend à répondre à l'ensemble des questions que les éleveurs et les techniciens peuvent se poser à l'heure où : les pratiques d'élevage, notamment en matière de bien-être animal interrogent les citoyens ; la consommation de viande bovine est en baisse régulière tandis que les recherches sur les viandes artificielles progressent ; l'élevage doit s'attacher à préserver et à conserver la qualité de notre environnement. Cet ouvrage présente les principales races et expose les notions essentielles permettant de maîtriser les connaissances et les techniques du métier de l'éleveur : Comment gérer son exploitation efficacement sur le plan économique et valoriser sa production ? Quelles sont les bonnes pratiques d'élevage en matière de sélection, de reproduction, d'alimentation, de bien-être animal ? Comment améliorer la qualité de ses produits grâce à la génétique, et au suivi du cycle de reproduction des animaux ? Comment gérer la santé et le bien-être de son troupeau ? Quelles sont les meilleures techniques de prévention ? Comment réduire les coûts de production grâce à la productivité : numérique (réduction du nombre de femelles vides et de la mortalité des veaux), pondérale (maîtrise de l'alimentation et des rations, sélection, hygiène, notamment en faisant appel à la génomie...). Cet ouvrage référence l'ensemble des moyens dont l'éleveur dispose pour produire mieux et plus, tout en améliorant la qualité, en respectant l'environnement tout en maîtrisant les coûts. "

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."
