He settled on a farm in the town of Gates, west of Rochester, New York in 1849. Harris bought the Genesee Farmer from James Vick in 1856 and had a widely popular column called 'Walks and Talks on the Farm' in which he publicized the results from his experimental / seed farm. In 1863, Harris bought the 141-acre farm in Gates and named it Moreton Farm. In December 1865, Harris sold Genesee Farmer to Orange Judd & Company of New York, who merged it with the American Agriculturist. Harris continued his column. In 1879, he opened the Harris Seed Co. at Moreton Farm, published a 44-page catalog and sent out 30,000 copies. A year later he built his first seed house." - from an article published by the Victory Horticultural Library. Good .

The Legal Framework For the Management of Animal Genetic Resources.

Rome : FAO, Paperback. 168 .pp.(FAO Legislative Studies, 89). - Based on information gathered mainly through national surveys, the study provides an overview of the main legal instruments governing the management of animal genetic resources at the national level. Relevant international and regional regulatory frameworks are also examined. As the policy debate on the management of animal genetic resources evolves in various fora, and as FAO develops the Global Strategy for the Management of Farm Animal Genetic Resources, the discussion on legal issues will take centre stage. The study aims to contribute to such discussion through a general assessment of the status of national regulatory frameworks and general recommendations for national legislation development.English text.

Biosecurity in animal production and veterinary medicine. From principles to practice

Acco. Hardback. Globally, the way the animal production industry copes with infectious diseases is changing. The (excessive) use of antimicrobials is under debate and it is becoming standard practice to implement thorough biosecurity plans on farms to prevent the entry and spread of pathogenic micro-organisms. Not only in farm animal production, but also in facilities where companion animals are kept, including in veterinary practices and clinics, awareness of the beneficial implications of a good biosecurity plan has raised. The book Biosecurity in Animal Production and Veterinary Practices is the first compilation of both fundamental aspects of biosecurity practices, and specific and practical information on the application of the biosecurity measures in different animal production and animal housing settings. The book starts with a general introductory chapter on the epidemiology of infectious diseases, followed by a chapter explaining the general principles of biosecurity. Specific topics of biosecurity, including rodent and insect control, cleaning and disinfection, hygiene and decontamination of feed, drinking water and air, and measuring the biosecurity status of farms, are detailed in dedicated chapters. Explanations on the relevance of the implementation of biosecurity plans in order to improve animal health and performance and reduce antimicrobial usage are described, and a chapter on ways to motivate farmers to implement a biosecurity plan has been included. Practical chapters deal with biosecurity in the poultry, pig and cattle industry, horse facilities, dog kennels, veterinary practices and clinics and laboratory animal facilities. The book is a practical guide that can be used by farm and animal facility managers, consultants, veterinarians, animal caretakers, and people with an interest in prevention of diseases in animals. Academics and students will benefit from the book because it contains all relevant information on animal biosecurity. ISBN: 9789463443784. Cond./Kwaliteit: Redelijk.
