Overview

OUT OF STOCK

The estimated one billion draught animals throughout the developing world provide vital power, transport, milk, meat and security to millions of rural families. Considering the importance of animal traction, insufficient emphasis has been given to innovative research to improve working efficiency, nutrition, or the overall productivity of draught animals; in a world increasingly conscious of environmental dangers and the need to become less reliant on fossil fuels. This publication contains papers presented at the second international workshop and recommendations for future research. Proceedings of an International Research Symposium, held at Cipanas, Indonesia, 3-7 July, 1989
