Sustainable and Climate Resilient Livestock & Poultry Farming Practices
edited by: Sukanta Biswas, Arunasis Goswami
This edited volume brings together practical, India-focused insights on making livestock and poultry systems climate-resilient. It connects genetics and breeding, climate-smart feeding, health and vaccination, zoonoses and One Health, biosecurity, and post-mortem diagnostics with real farm needs—housing for heat stress, fodder and feed choices, and value-added poultry enterprises. Chapters also cover integrated farming systems, backyard poultry for income, food-adulterant mitigation, organic husbandry, disaster risk reduction, and policy-ready recommendations. Grounded in field experiences, it offers clear checklists, models, and options that help farmers, veterinarians, and extension teams build resilient livelihoods while safeguarding public and animal health.
