Description

This volume looks at the different varieties of livestock to be found in the tropics, as well as the products that they can produce for profit. Dealing with everything from cattle and swine to Zebu and more exotic examples, this book is highly recommended for those with an interest in tropical livestock farming. Contents include: “Farming”, “Livestock and Animal Products”, “Dairying”, “Beef Cattle”, “Zebu”, “Buffalo”, “Horses and Mules”, “Swine”, “Sheep”, “Goats”, “Camel”, “Llama and Alpaca”, “Elephant”, “Poultry”, “Ostriches”, “Silk”, “Bees”, “Shellac”, “Cochineal”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on farming.
