Features: The socialist market economy and the adjustment of agricultural structure urgently require scientific knowledge and management skills for dairy and beef cattle farming. This book summarizes the achievements of teaching, research, and production both domestically and internationally, systematically introducing the external features, breeds, productivity, reproduction, breeding, management, feed nutrition, cowshed construction, and disease prevention of dairy and beef cattle. The material is up-to-date, with theory closely linked to practice, providing many new insights for solving practical cattle farming problems. It particularly fills the domestic gap in areas such as cattle farming skills, beef cattle external appearance and carcass evaluation, udder care, limb and hoof care, calf care, sick cow care, and environmental stress management for cattle. This book can serve as a reference for teachers and students of agricultural universities, colleges, and vocational schools, as well as for researchers, management and feeding personnel, and professional cattle farmers in the fields of animal husbandry and veterinary science.
