Reviews

"Anyone involved in livestock production can consider owning a copy of this book as an investment."

"Insufficient scientific information on livestock handling and transport not only cause significant social and moral conflicts, but also great economic losses whereas the scientifically based knowledge presented in this book may contribute to its decrease. Hopefully this reviewed book will be read, studied and used to fulladvantage."
