Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing

Based in Cambridge, Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing is an award winning, “climate-smart” publisher in agricultural science and its work will help researchers in agricultural science address how to feed a growing population in the face of climate change and increasing competition for land, water and other resources.

Their mission is to create a comprehensive database reviewing the latest research, each written by a leading expert, which systemically covers both the major crops and livestock products and, at the same time, each step in the value chain for their production, from breeding through to harvest. They deliver this as printed and eBooks (over 70 titles to date) and via our innovative and new chapter platform, https://bdschapters.com, where users can create their own tailor-made collection of knowledge to suit their needs and interest.

All members of Agri-TechE can benefit from 20% off any of our titles – published and forthcoming – with an exclusive code. Please contact either BDS Publishing or Agri-TechE for the code, which you can apply during checkout on the BDS Publishing website.

New Title Available: Developing animal feed products

This new book reviews advances in optimising the key stages in developing successful new animal feed products, from assessing feed ingredients, product development and processing to maintaining quality and safety. The collection features authoritative discussions by leading experts on the relationship between nutrition and animal health, as well as how best to implement risk management systems for the prevention and control of contaminants present in animal feed.

New Title Available: Improving the nutritional and nutraceutical properties of wheat and other cereals

With more consumers moving away from traditional cereal-based foods due to concerns about health impacts, including wheat intolerance, the sector must develop next-generation nutritionally-enhanced cereal products to maximise market potential. Improving the nutritional and nutraceutical properties of wheat and other cereals reviews key research into the nutritional components of cereals and their role in preventing chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and cancer. Initial chapters cover our understanding of the nutritional value of starch, antioxidants and lipids in wheat.

New Title Available: Genome editing for precision crop breeding

Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing are delighted to announce the publication of their new title, Genome editing for precision crop breeding, edited by Dr Matthew Willmann, formerly Cornell University, USA. The book takes stock of the wealth of research on the leading techniques in genome editing, such as CRISPR/Cas systems, and their potential in crop breeding. This collection also surveys applications of gene editing in improving key traits in key cereal crops including barley, maize and sorghum as well as brassicas, tomatoes and perennials.

New Title Available: Understanding the behaviour and improving the welfare of dairy cattle

The welfare of farmed animals such as cattle is an increasing concern for consumers and regulatory agencies. This book explores the science behind our understanding of dairy cow behaviour and ways to improve their welfare. Understanding the behaviour and improving the welfare of dairy cattle summarises this wealth of recent research and reviews dairy cattle behaviour in areas such as cognition, learning, pain and stress.

New Title Available: Advances in horticultural soilless culture

Soilless cultivation techniques (including hydroponic systems) have attracted growing attention as a way of growing horticultural crops more efficiently without taking up more land. These controlled environment systems are also less vulnerable to climate change and are particularly suited to urban farming as part of the shift to more localised, circular food systems. Advances in horticultural soilless culture provides a comprehensive assessment of recent research in this important area, paying close attention to the advances in optimising substrates for soilless cultivation, as well as the developments in solid and liquid-medium container systems, fertigation systems, modelling and process control.

New Title Available: Understanding the behaviour and improving the welfare of pigs

With growing concern from consumers and regulatory agencies about the welfare of farmed animals such as pigs, the livestock sector must assess how animal welfare can be improved whilst ensuring livestock production remains economically and environmentally sustainable. Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing’s new title Understanding the behaviour and improving the welfare of pigs provides a comprehensive review of key research in this important area, looking specifically at current welfare issues including tail biting and castration.

New Title Available: Understanding and improving crop root function

New Title Available: Understanding and improving crop root function Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing are delighted to announce the publication of a new volume of research that explores the complex ways roots interact with soils. The book details the responses of plant roots to abiotic and biotic stresses and how understanding nutrient uptake can be exploited to optimise root function. The new title has been edited by world-renowned soil and crop root scientist – Emeritus Professor Peter Gregory – and features contributions from 50+ international experts.

New Title Available: Climate change and agriculture

It has been suggested that agriculture may account for up to 24% of the greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) contributing to climate change. At the same time climate change is threatening to disrupt agricultural production. This collection reviews key research addressing this challenge. Climate change is the biggest challenge agriculture faces. Part 1 of this collection reviews current research on the impacts of climate change on agriculture, such as the effects of increased temperatures, as well as the ways these impacts can be modelled. Part 2 assesses what we know about the contribution of agriculture to climate change, including the impacts of both crop and livestock production as well as land use. Part 3 surveys mitigation strategies to achieve a more ‘climate-smart’ agriculture such as the role of integrated crop-livestock and agroforestry systems.
