Features: In the eyes of many, the livestock industry in developed countries is characterized by large-scale production, industrialized management, and corporate operations, with a highly market-oriented livestock economy and minimal government intervention. However, this is not entirely the case. The legislation on livestock in foreign countries is extensive, primarily consisting of specialized laws that cover every aspect of livestock production. This book focuses on legal texts from countries such as the European Union, the United States, Canada, and Australia. To the greatest extent possible, it provides a full translation of the original texts while maintaining the original formatting. In terms of content organization, it is primarily categorized by production stages, including comprehensive regulations, regulations on breeding livestock and livestock genetic resources, regulations on livestock breeding technology, regulations on animal identification and livestock management, regulations on livestock products, and regulations on animal welfare. Additionally, it includes regulations on special economic animals to demonstrate how the United States and Canada handle the relationship between artificially raised special economic animals and wildlife conservation. The appendix collects excerpts from the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and the Convention on Biological Diversity to help readers understand relevant international conventions.
