Social issues, animal welfare, food safety, drug residues and environmental cost are also covered.S ALES POINTS Expert advice from leading animal scientists and veterinarians at Massey and Lincoln universities Easy to follow and jargon-free Currently no other similar book in the market A lot of information available on livestock production in New Zealand is on industry websites or in the scientific literature and much is material from outside the country, usually from the USA, and does not reflect farming practice in New Zealand.
