Animals eat to acquire the energy and building materials that they need to live and grow. Animals use energy to perform normal body functions such as breathing, walking, eating, digesting, and maintaining body temperature. Nutrients provide poultry the energy and material needed for the development of bone, flesh, feathers, and eggs. In today’s poultry industry, integrated production companies face more challenges than ever. They require pre-harvest food safety technologies that improve risk management and bird health, while providing a solid return on investment. Scientists conduct research on nutrients and performance at all stages of the life cycle. Research areas include digestibility, metabolism, antibiotic alternatives, feed additives, bird growth rates, feed intake and feed conversion. Like all other animals, poultry require five components in their diet as a source of nutrients: energy, protein, minerals, vitamins and water. A nutrient shortage or imbalance in relation to other nutrients will affect performance adversely. The reference book will be of great use to researchers and professionals in the poultry industry. Consumers will also find this book interesting since it discusses topics that can directly affect them.

Biochemistry is closely related to molecular biology, the study of the molecular mechanisms by which genetic information encoded in DNA is able to result in the processes of life. Depending on the exact definition of the terms used, molecular biology can be thought of as a branch of biochemistry, or biochemistry as a tool with which to investigate and study molecular biology. Biochemistry is one of the few basic sciences where animal and plant kingdoms meet. Biotechnology is the technical applications of biological systems for the production of natural substances (biogas, antibiotics, enzymes organic acids etc) it involves the use of living organisms deliberately to carry out defined chemical processes and exploitation of biological processes for man’s use. Modern biotechnology is hinged on the tools of recombinant technology also called gene manipulation or genetic engineering. This book will serve as a handy material for the students as well as teachers, taking undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Veterinary sciences, Biological sciences, Genetics, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology and allied subjects.

Nutrition is an essential part of preventative health care and managing disease. Animal nutrition focuses on the dietary needs of domesticated animals, primarily those in agriculture and food production. There are seven major classes of nutrients: carbohydrates, fats, fibre, minerals, protein, vitamin, and water. Dietary minerals are the chemical elements required by living organisms, other than the four elements carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen that are present in nearly all organic molecules. Animal health in modern animal production is now a major challenge on a global basis as it impacts upon both human health and economics. Formulation of modern animal feeds is currently based upon using an array of available ingredients that supply a desired nutrient profile at the minimum cost. The present book will appeal to wide audiences including graduate students in equine science and veterinary medicine, veterinarians, equine nutritionists, and owners.

The main focus of the bibliographical references culled from various sources in the present CICIL publication is on Government and politics in India bearing particular reference to role, achievements and failures of Rajiv Gandhi during his five years as Prime Minister and the period when he was out of the office, tracing the contemporary scenario from his childhood. The bibliography provides detailed information on most aspects of contemporary Government and politics as also that of Rajiv Gandhi''s life and times. Since his strength and weaknesses are linked with the Congress (I) Party and Government, Congress (I) activities and inroads have received a wide coverage every attempt has been made to include the material which represents the views of both his admirers and adversaries. Since efforts have been made to make it as comprehensive as possible, it is hoped that this volume will prove an excellent guide for the researchers and the serious students of Indian history.

Nuclear physics is the field of physics that studies the building blocks and interactions of atomic nuclei. The most commonly known applications of nuclear physics are nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons technology, but the research has provided application in many fields, including those in nuclear medicine and magnetic resonance imaging, ion implantation in materials engineering, and radiocarbon dating in geology and archaeology. The field of particle physics evolved out of nuclear physics and is typically taught in close association with nuclear physics. The history of nuclear physics as a discipline distinct from atomic physics starts with the discovery of radioactivity by Henri Becquerel in 1896, while investigating phosphorescence in uranium salts. The discovery of the electron by J.J. Thomson a year later was an indication that the atom had internal structure. At the turn of the 20th century the accepted model of the atom was J. J. Thomson''s plum pudding model in which the atom was a large positively charged ball with small negatively charged electrons embedded inside of it. By the turn of the century physicists had also discovered three types of radiation emanating from atoms, which they named alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Experiments in 1911 by Lise Meitner and Otto Hahn, and by James Chadwick in 1914 discovered that the beta decay spectrum was continuous rather than discrete. That is, electrons were ejected from the atom with a range of energies, rather than the discrete amounts of energies that were observed in gamma and alpha decays. This was a problem for nuclear physics at the time, because it indicated that energy was not conserved in these decays. In 1905, Albert Einstein formulated the idea of mass-energy equivalence.

The book Organic Agriculture: An Overview represents different aspects of organic agriculture. This book has detailed elaborations on organic farming, biofertilizers, role of pests and pesticides, biopesticides in crop protection, weed management, vegetables and fruit production by organic farming. The book also highlights about the agricultural policies in India, scenario of organic food consumption, export of organic products from India and its certification. Similarly topics like use of biofertilizers and biopesticides towards zero residue farming is also highlighted in the book. The lack of sustainability in production in recent years is becoming a major cause of concern. The irrational and indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides (insecticides, fungicides and nematicides) causes many negative consequences, mainly the famous 3 R''s like resistance, resurgence and residue aspects. These factors also cause indirect effects on the human and soil health, environment and for sustainability of modern agriculture. Overall, this book is covering the most of the aspects of organic agriculture and will provide latest informations to students, teachers, researchers and agriculturists who are working on organic agriculture.

Environmental Science is a multidisciplinary science comprising various branches of studies such as chemistry, physics, medical science, life science, agriculture, public health, sanitary engineering etc. Environmental science analyses causes and effects of climate and global warming and includes study of recycling and reuse of resource. It encompasses the air, water and soil etc. and the impact of human activities on them and addresses the approach towards sustainable development. Fast growth in urbanization and industrialization during last few decades have resulted in depletion of natural resources, degradation of environmental and pollution of air, soil and water. Therefore, it is necessary to think about the problems related our environment and their solutions for its betterment. This book is divided into two Sections: section I includes research papers by various scientists and research scholars and Section II reviewes papers/articles by various academicians. We hope that this book would be able to motivate the students, academicians and scientists about different issues related to environmental science and technology.

Food producers are responsible for the safety of their products, and to guarantee food safety of dairy products, the dairy industry has implemented hazard analysis of critical control points (HACCP) systems. This enables quality assurance of final products via a chain management approach. In recent years, there have been significant advances in our understanding of milk systems, probably the most complex natural food available to man. Improvements in process technology have been accompanied by massive changes in the scale of many milk/dairy-processing operations, and the manufacture of a wide range of dairy and other related products. This valuable book offers coverage of the basic knowledge and scientific advances in the production of milk and milk-based products. Students and all those related to dairy technology will find this work useful in their study and practice.
