Introduction to Animal Science: Global, Biological, Social, and Industry Perspectives

Introduction to Animal Science: Global, Biological, Social, and Industry Perspectives, 6/e, features the most comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of the traditional disciplines for a solid foundation in Animal Science: nutrition, food safety, digestion, genetics, reproduction, disease, and animal behavior. There is information on how to feed, manage, breed, and care for animals. Because the scope of Animal Science is so broad, author W. Stephen Damron examines how animals fit into society and how they contribute to the well-being of humans worldwide. It explores the business interests and scientific and technological advances, which have produced new approaches to animal production and animal care. Written with sufficient flexibility, this text accommodates the three major approaches to Animal Science: the biological approach, the industry approach, and the species approach.
