Klappentext zu „Climate Change and Livestock Production: Recent Advances and Future Perspectives “
This book describes the importance of sustainable livestock production from a food security perspective in the changing climate scenario. It covers the amelioration of climate change impacts and describes the various mitigation strategies to reduce enteric methane emissions. The book targets sustainable livestock production by covering diverse concepts of amelioration, mitigation, and policy up-gradation. Further, it examines various adverse impacts of climate change on growth, meat, milk, and reproduction in livestock. Most importantly, the book covers novel aspects of quantifying heat stress response of livestock based on non-invasive methodologies, including infrared thermal imaging, sensor-based applications, hair, urine, and fecal cortisol estimation. Particular emphasis was given to describing the skin-based novel approaches to establish climate resilience in indigenous breeds. The book provides detailed descriptions of alleviating climate change impacts on shelter management, nutritional interventions, and genetics-based strategies involving advanced genomic tools. Lastly, it highlights the livestock species which could be considered ideal climate-resilient animal models to withstand the adversities associated with climate change.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Climate Change and Livestock Production: Recent Advances and Future Perspectives “

Autoren-Porträt
Dr. Veerasamy Sejian, M.V.Sc & PhD., is a Principal Scientist at ICAR-National Institute of Animal Nutrition and Physiology (NIANP), Bangalore, India. His central thrust area of research is on "Climate Change and Livestock Production." Dr. Sejian is the team leader in establishing the concept of "Multiple stresses impacting small ruminants." His current research focuses on identifying molecular markers for different environmental stresses in small ruminants with the primary focus to develop agro-ecological zone-specific thermo-tolerant breeds. Dr. Sejian has published more than 160 peer-reviewed articles, 99 book chapters, 285 invited/lead papers, 175 conference papers, and 22 technical manuals.Further, Dr. Sejian has published three International Springer books. Dr. Sejian did his first post-doctorate at The Ohio State University, USA. He was bestowed with Endeavour Research Fellowship by the Australian Government to pursue a post-doctorate at The University of Queensland, Australia. For his outstanding contribution to animal science, the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) has bestowed him with the prestigious Lal Bahadur Shastri Outstanding Young Scientist Award in 2012. Further, Career360, an academic organization in India, had selected Dr. Sejian to be one of the top 10 scientists in India under the environmental sciences category during 2017-18. Dr. Sejian is also listed in the world's top 2% scientists by Stanford University, USA, during 2020 and 2021. Dr. Sejian is also listed in the world's top 1% of scientists by PubMed based on the last 10 years of publications in heat stress. In addition, Dr. Sejian is also serving as Field Editor in Springer's International Journal of Biometeorology, Associate Editor in Elsevier's Small Ruminants Research, and Academic Editor in PLOS Climate. He has developed four technologies and also has one patent granted.

Lecturer in the Department of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences, The University of Melbourne, Australia, and has 12 years of research and teaching in veterinary and animal science sciences in three countries, including Australia, India, and the USA. Dr. Chauhan obtained his Bachelor of Veterinary Science & Animal Husbandry and Master of Veterinary Science from CSK, Himachal Pradesh Agriculture University, Palampur, India. Dr. Chauhan has served the State of Himachal Pradesh, India, for more than 10 years and has provided his services as Senior Veterinary Officer and Veterinary Officer in the various Civil Veterinary Hospitals and Livestock Breeding Farms. He has also served as Assistant Professor in The Department of Veterinary Physiology and Livestock Production and Management, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences at the CSK, Himachal Pradesh Agriculture University, Palampur, India. Dr. Chauhan moved to Australia in 2011 following his selection for the prestigious Australian Leadership Award (Ph.D. Scholarship) from the Australian Govt and completed his Ph.D. under the guidance of Prof Frank Dunshea, Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences, The University of Melbourne in 2014. Later Dr. Chauhan completed his Post-doctorate in Animal Science (Muscle Biology and Meat Science) at The Ohio State University, Columbus, USA. Dr. Chauhan has presented his research at various national and international conferences, including 7 keynote papers, and has published more than 70 refereed research papers. At The University of Melbourne, he is leading the Australia India Collaborations for heat stress mitigation and Sustainable Livestock production funded by the Australian Government Australia-India Council.
