As in previous editions, this text is intended for students interested in the principles of animal nutrition and the application of these principles. It contains an introduction to the role of animal nutrition in modern agriculture and society, and uses the most current knowledge of nutrient metabolism and the formulation of diets from an array of available feedstuffs. A new section on life-cycle feeding of individual animal classes includes chapters contributed by authorities in their respective fields of animal nutrition. These new chapters include information on beef cattle, dairy cattle, poultry, rabbits, sheep and goats, swine, horses, dogs and cats, fish and exotic animals.
