[EBOOK] THE SCIENCE OF ANIMAL AGRICULTURE (4th EDITION), RAY V. HERREN,GEOGRIA UNIVERSITY

The Science of Animal Agriculture is directed toward teaching the basic science concepts involved in the production of agricultural animals. This newly revised edition contains the latest up-to-date information regarding the scientific aspect of the agricultural industry. All facets of modern agriculture are based on science. From the most rudimentary cultural practices to the most complicated biotechnology techniques, scientific research has produced the phenomenon known as American agriculture. The science of agriculture has brought humans from the stage of wandering and gathering food to modern civilization. Much of what we know about how living organisms reproduce and grow has come about through our quest to be more efficient in the production of food and fiber. The Science of Animal Agriculture contains chapters dealing with the latest concepts in animal biotechnology. Topics include animal behavior, classification, consumer concerns, animal welfare, genetics, scientific selection, reproduction, cloning, growth and development, nutrition, meat science, parasites, and disease. In addition, the scientific basis for the production of the different types of agricultural animals is presented.

NEW TO THE FOURTH EDITION

The fourth edition represents a substantial revision of the third edition. Throughout the new edition are updated illustrations that better represent information presented in the text as well as information noting the latest advancements in the field of animal science such as cellular biology. Modern cellular biology is the foundation of almost all of the advances in animal sciences; therefore it is essential that students have a firm understanding of cell functions. Also the new edition contains the latest updates on consumer concerns and new government regulations. These topics are increasingly more important as advancements are made in animal product production, preservation, and distribution. Also a chapter on the goat industry has been added to reflect the increase in the number of goats produced in the US. Although compared to other aspects of the industry, goat production is minor; however the rapid increase in numbers merit inclusion in a discussion of animal production in the United States.

Since The Science of Animal Agriculture emphasizes the scientific principles involved in animal production, the text is appropriate for agriculture courses that receive science credit.

Each chapter begins with a listing of the student objectives in both basic science and agricultural science, along with the key terms used in the chapter. Although the two are difficult to separate, the student objectives in basic science are considered to be those concepts a student might be expected to learn before graduation. These concepts are presented in a contextual setting with photos, charts, diagrams, and figures to illustrate the concepts. The chapters are concluded with a variety of questions that may be used for reviewing the chapter. In addition, practical activities are described that will enhance the student’s grasp of the concepts presented in the chapter.

The text is accompanied by a complete supplement package consisting of an Instructor’s Guide, Lab Manual, Lab Manual Instructor’s Guide, Lab Manual CD-ROM, ClassMaster CD-ROM and Classroom Interactivity CD-ROM. The Instructor’s Guide includes the terminal objective for each chapter, a list of both the basic science and agricultural science objectives and the answer key to the review exercises. The Lab Manual was designed to help students appreciate the interrelationship between science and agriculture. Each exercise relates directly to a specific chapter in The Science of Animal Agriculture and is designed to be hands-on. The Lab Manual Instructor’s Guide provides answers to the Results and Discussions sections of the lab manual. The Lab Manual CD-ROM provides instructors with the electronic files for each lab from the Student Lab Manual. This will allow users to print off as many copies as needed for their students for the life of the edition. Also included on the cd-rom is an electronic version of the Lab Manual Instructor’s Guide. The ClassMaster CD-ROM is an instructional tool containing valuable resources for teachers to simplify the planning and implementation of their instructional program. It includes a pdf of the instructor’s guide, a computerized testbank, instructor slides in PowerPoint, Student Worksheets, an image library, and a correlation guide to Delmar’s Introduction to Agriscience DVD Series. The Classroom Interactivity CD-ROM provides instructors the opportunity to create a dynamic learning environment while engaging their students in active participation. This CD-ROM contains four different “game-show-themed” applications to be run by the instructor. All questions are taken directly from the readings of the text and serve as great tools in reinforcing the main concepts of each unit.
