Publisher's Synopsis
The "Book of Abstracts of the 47th Annual Meeting of the European Association for Animal Production" in Lillehammer, August 1996, represents the main publication of this congress. It includes abstracts of the invited papers and other presentations, including posters. The meeting included sessions in the fields of animal genetics, animal nutrition, animal management and health, cattle production, sheep and goat production, pig production, and horse production. There are also joint sessions on topics related to several disciplines or species, and these are also included in this text. The book should be a useful and up-to-date reference work for all researchers in the field of animal production.
