Cattle in the Mediterranean Area

This text examines the production and management aspects of the cattle sector in the Mediterranean basin. The state of the art in cattle production was measured through a major survey in the early-1990s. Following a paper based on the data collected through this survey, a number of papers present study cases of the cattle sector in the Mediterranean region. A major part of the book relates to the changing production systems, influences on technology applications and the introduction of more specialized genetic material.
