d. Adjust feed composition to reduce enteric methane emission in

ruminants

e. Pursue viable systems for control of infectious diseases that affect ani-

mals and, in some cases, humans

f. Foster balanced plant-animal ecosystems

g. Develop technologies and products that support globalization of sus-

tainable food animal production, food safety, and animal health

Acknowledgment
Eric Bradford passed away in 2007, leaving a legacy of leadership in international
animal agriculture as a scientist, teacher, and mentor to many students and young
scientists (including chapter coauthor Kevin Pond). During the early planning stage
of this chapter, Eric contributed many ideas and knowledge that helped determine its
ultimate subject matter and structure. We are indebted to him for these efforts and
will cherish his memory and our long friendship.
