Description
The second volume of Zoo Animal Nutrition elaborates further on what modern,
physiology- and ecology-based nutrition science for non-domestic animals is and should be. The emphasis in the second volume is on ungulates (hoofed mammals), but subjects also include primate feeding strategies, diet evaluations for tropical bird species, metabolic health issues in reptiles, and new research methods. Authors are nutritionists, veterinarians, behavioural ecologists and physiologists drawing from laboratory, zoo and fi eld projects.
