1st Edition
Ecological Implications of Minilivestock Potential of Insects, Rodents, Frogs and Sails
This book provides stimulating and timely suggestions about expanding the world food supply to include a variety of minilivestock. It suggests a wide variety of small animals as nutritious food. These animals include arthropods (insects, earthworms, snails, frogs), and various rodents. The major advantage of minilivestock is that they do not have to be fed on grains thus saving many crop species for human consump-tion. The book suggests technologies for harvesting these small livestock.
