Considering the potential of livestock production to provide unique opportunities for meaningful and lucrative employment to the whole lot of small, marginal and landless farmers spreading across more than half of the globe, the book on "Animal Health & Production" encompasses views of many learned contributors pertaining to issues related to livestock sector's progress and prospects.
