Beskrivning

"This publication contains proceedings of the Symposium on 'Interactions Between Climate and Animal Production' organised by the Commission on Animal Biometeorology of the International Society of Biometeorology and Dipartimento di Produzioni Animali of the Università della Tuscia (Viterbo, Italy), held in Viterbo September 4th 2003.The book discusses conceptual and methodological bases for research in animal biometeorology. It reviews the current state of knowledge, and will provide original contributions on: - the effects of climate on animal production, health and welfare; - tools for description and measurement of climate; - strategies for alleviation of climatic stress in farm animals; - the impact of animal husbandry on global climate."
