        Soy Protein and Formulated Meat Products

        by Henk W Hoogenkamp

        Soy-based foods represent a growing sector in today's food industry markets. They tend to be low in fat and high in protein and overall nutritional quality. Soy protein offers a broad spectrum of functionality and is now a key component of many processed meat products.This book provides an authoritative review of soy protein science and technology, particularly in relation to meat formulations. These topics are related to the major issues that face consumers and manufacturers, including healthy lifestyles, food safety and market dynamics. One key feature of the book is the large number of tables providing formulations for a range of products, including emulsified meats, sausage, pate, poultry- and other meat-based foods. The author has vast experience in industry and is a pioneer of the use of soy proteins, of the concept of "lifestyle foods" and of the growing impact of vegetarian food preferences.

        Understanding the Fundamentals of Grain Crop Management

        by Dennis Egli

        This book presents a simple, straightforward discussion of the principles and processes involved in the production of grain yield by agronomic crops, and how these processes underlie and influence management decisions. The focus is on grain crops, principally maize and soybean, although the general principles apply equally well to cereals, grain legumes and oil crops. Management decisions define all cropping systems - what (crop species, variety), where (climate), when (planting date), and how (row spacing and population density) are the fundamental choices. Knowledge of the fundamental processes responsible for plant growth and the accumulation of yield simplifies the decision-making process and leads to improved management decisions, higher grain yields, and cropping systems that are efficient, resilient and sustainable. The contents include: · Basic plant growth processes e.g. photosynthesis, respiration, evapotranspiration · Growth and production of yield · Crop management - seed quality, variety selection, plant date, row spacing · Crop production in the future - climate change, GMOs, precision data and new crops Intended for researchers in crop science, agronomy and plant science, and crop production practitioners, this book will enable readers to make better, more informed management decisions; decisions that will help maintain a well-fed world in the future.

        Gene Flow

        Monitoring, Modeling and Mitigation

        by Wei Wei, Neal Stewart

        Gene flow is a natural process that occurs spontaneously and enables the evolution of life. However, with the release of genetically modified organisms, concerns have focused on introduced foreign transgenes and their dispersal in nature through gene flow. This book examines gene flow of transgenes, such as herbicide resistance genes, with the goal of understanding the factors that may affect the process of gene flow. A greater biological understanding is essential to make sound management regulatory decisions when also taking into consideration the processes that happen in conventional plants. Monitoring, modelling, and mitigation are the three most closely related elements of gene flow. The book includes both scientific reviews and perspectives on gene flow and experimental case studies, including studies of gene flow in soybean and poplar. The authors present diverse views and research methodologies to understand transgene flow. This book: Focuses on applications of gene flow (monitoring, modelling, and mitigation); Includes both review chapters and case studies; Is written by international team of scientists currently working in gene flow. This book will be valuable for students and researchers in genetics, biotechnology, plant science, and environmental science. It also provides key insights of value to regulators of biotechnology as well as policy-makers.

        Are We Pushing Animals to Their Biological Limits?

        Welfare and Ethical Implications

        by Temple Grandin, Martin Whiting

        Stimulating and thought-provoking, this important new text looks at the welfare problems and philosophical and ethical issues that are caused by changes made to an animal's telos, behaviour and physiology, both positive and negative, to make them more productive or adapted for human uses. These changes may involve selective breeding for production, appearance traits, or competitive advantage in sport, transgenic animals or the use of pharmaceuticals or hormones to enhance production or performance. Changes may impose duties to care for these animals further and more intensely, or they may make the animal more robust. The book considers a wide range of animals, including farm animals, companion animals and laboratory animals. It reviews the ethics and welfare issues of animals that have been adapted for sport, as companions, in work, as ornaments, food sources, guarding and a whole host of other human functions. This important new book sparks debate and is essential reading for all those involved in animal welfare and ethics, including veterinarians, animal scientists, animal welfare scientists and ethologists.

        Nutrition and Feeding of Organic Poultry

        by Robert Blair

        Organic poultry production has increased significantly in recent years to keep up with increasing consumer demand for organic eggs and meat. There are many guidelines and restrictions on what should go into the feed of organically-farmed poultry, from which difficulties arise when trying to ensure a well-balanced nutritious diet without the use of any unapproved supplements. This, the second edition of Robert Blair's classic and bestselling book on the nutrition and feeding of organic poultry, presents advice for organic producers, and the agencies and organizations serving them. It covers: - Selecting suitable ingredients. - Preparing appropriate feed mixtures and integrating them into organic poultry production systems. - International standards for organic feeding. - Breeds that are most suitable for organic farming. - Examples of diets formulated to organic standards. Completely updated and revised to address how to formulate organic diets in situations where there is a declining supply of organic feed, this new edition also includes up-to-date information on the nutritional requirements of poultry and feed-related disease incidence in organic flocks. Also including the feasibility of utilizing novel feed, such as insect meal, and their acceptability by consumers of organic meat products, this book forms a comprehensive reference for students, organic farmers, veterinarians and researchers.

        by Anton Soya, Oksana Baturina

        A romantic story in Tim Burton style about how two lonely hearts have met. (A modern fairy tale, romantic-ironic teenage horror, 12+) Federico - a small clown, the prince of a travelling freaks’ circus, the one who meets his fifteenth’s birthday in a circus wagon while travelling around the world. His friends are the artists of the Rafinelli Circus: an aged trapeze gymnast Snow White with her inseparable gnomes, a two-headed trainer, vegetarian tigers, a tattooed elephant and a human worm. His strongmen parents are both monsters and clowns. Boom, the owner of circus is a cannibal, and Beam his wife a bearded woman. They love so much their son, but in a very specific way. Federico's life is a never-ending nightmare with continuous falls, since his talent and role are funny unexpected falls in the ring. He would have run away from the parents’ circus a long time ago, but where to hide? Who needs a boy as bald as a knee with a nose like a tomato? Federico had got used to his miserable life, but one day everything changed. In Luneburg, where rickety houses stand on a hill above holes in the rock created by greedy townspeople taking away rock salt, Federico will meet his love: a strange girl Nadira with a pirate bandage over her eye, considered by everyone in the city to be a witch. Nadira will stretch out her hand to Federico calling him her prince. But one by one, like sharp mountain peaks, in the path of their love there grow up barriers that they must overcome together. And it is not only the terrible parents of Federico and the accidental death of Nadira's neighbour for which everyone blamed this strange girl.  Together with other circus artists they must fight in an abandoned cemetery with the dead army of the gnome Rumpelstiltskin, whither destiny has brought our tireless heroes after a terrible accident. There will be a battle, there will be losses (Federico becomes an orphan), and there will be surprises: victory, capture of the main vilain and the magic fulfilment of their desires. And, of course, there will be a fine new circus in Luneburg belonging to  Federico Rafinelli and his… in all respects disastrous speech in Luneburg, during which the "respectable" public will be sent to hell together with their beloved Beam and Boom, summoned by them from hell itself! Are you scared?  Don’t be afraid!  Everything will end well! It’s just a fairy tale, although it's also completely modern.

        Oilseed Crops

        by M.V.R. Prasad

        Oilseed crops are a heterogeneous group of plants without common morphological and genetic features except production of seed oil. Nevertheless, the importance of the seed oil or vegetable fat, has resulted in increased scientific interest in improving the yield and quality of the produce. The Oilseeds sector has been one of the most dynamic components of world agriculture; in the past three decades growing at 4.1% per annum surpassing the growth of agriculture and livestock products. The individual crops forming the conglomerate of Oilseed crops have to be treated differently as well as together for their improvement and production, since they form unique group in terms of research and development, necessitating the development of strategies for their judicious exploitation for a sound farm economy. This book Oilseed Crops aims to provide detailed information on the oilseed crops and at the same time elucidating the intricacies faced in improvement and management. Spread over thirteen Chapters, the book covers the oilseed crops, namely, Groundnut, Rapeseed-mustard, Soybean, Sesame, Sunflower, Safflower, Niger, Linseed, Castor and Oil-bearing Trees. Each Chapter includes information on the Background of the Plant, Ecology, Cytogenetics, Genetic Resources and Breeding, Biotechnology, Important Characteristics, Diseases and Pests of the Crop, Production and Products from the crop. Designer Oilseed Crops is a new concept for the development of novel products of vegetable fats using biotechnology, gene editing and genetic transformation. The book will be useful to researchers, students, agricultural extensionists and all those taking up study of Oilseed Crops.

        When we listen to Pia, we witness how a girl (who is about three years old), tries to make sense of the world. Behind the phrases drafted by her mother’s quick trace, there is much more than pure logic, a quirky sentence, or a funny way of saying things. If we listen carefully, we might grasp the way Pia thinks. And we might be able to see how she tries to answer her daily queries. Those that we, adults, might not find important. When we listen to Pia, we participate of the young child’s sensibility, and we can think of how the way we look at the world, and the way we relate to it was constructed.
