Résumé :	This text includes a general introduction to the livestock industry--its history, the careers available, and the importance of safety and environmental considerations. It introduces the student to the topics of anatomy, physiology, feeding, and nutrition, and also provides a sound basis for the understanding and practice of animal breeding. The production of beef cattle, swine, sheep and goats, horses, poultry, dairy cattle and alternative animals is discussed. Information on selection of stock, feeding, management, housing, diseases and parasites, and marketing is presented. The section on horses also includes a chapter on training and horsemanship.--[Source inconnue]
