Los arbustos forrajeros son un comodín que se utiliza para suplir la escasez de forraje en determinadas épocas del año, fundamentalmente verano e invierno. Su larga permanencia en campo, que llega a superar los 20 años, su tolerancia a la sequía y la incapacidad del animal par consumir las partes leñosas, facillitan su persistencia, haciendo del arbusto un recurso forrajero barato para los secanos de Aragón.

This work is not a speculative or philosophical treatise on bees. Its main interest consists in its usefulness. It is a fundamental principle in the bee management, that no bee shall be burned, or, if possible to avoid it, crushed or killed.That system of management which combines the safety and health of the bees, with the production of the largest amount of pure honey available to the propietor, while providing generously for the inmates of the hive during the winter months, deserves the greatest patronage.

En la realizad de la U.E.-25 la sociedad, sobre todo, la de los Estados del Norte de la U.E., hablando siempre en términos generales, se muestra cada vez más interesada en todo lo que hace referencia a la compleja tematica ligada al denominado Bienestar Animal. Este interes es especialmente elevado y creciente, cuando se trata de modelos ganaderos fundamentados en sistemas intensivos. Este es el caso, en España, de la gran mayoria de las explotaciones de ganaderias de vacuno de leche y del 95 por 100 de las explotaciones porcinas; es decir, de las explotaciones ganaderas caracterizadas por un alto rendimiento zootecnico.

Este libro describe, con la participación de lo más prestigiosas científicos iberoamericanos de la conservación animal, los recursos zoogenéticos que dieron lugar a las razas llevadas a iberoamérica por los conquistadores españoles en el s.XV , así como de las razas originales de la península ibérica y los merinos italianos. Se hace una especial mención al uso de estos recursos en el desarrollo rural sostenible.
