In addition, effects...
The tenth edition of this essential reference presents new knowledge about the nutritional needs of swine that consider such factors as growth rate, carcass leanness, gender, health, environment, and repartitioning agents.<br /><br /> New sections are presented on requirements for amino acids and other nutrients. In addition, an original modeling approach...
The term "phytogenics", also referred to as botanicals or phytobiotics, describes plant-derived compounds incorporated in animal feed to improve productivity of livestock through amelioration of feed properties and promotion of the animal's production performance. In the last few years phytogenics have gained considerable attention in the feed...
The latest research results on the roles of amino acid chelates in animal nutrition are covered in this book, with careful attention to scientific detail and accuracy. The book presents the work of 42 international contributors; and will interest nutritionists, veterinarians, and all those concerned with animal feeds and feeding programs?1particularly those supplying...
In this informed guide, international experts in their fields provide comprehensive analyses and practical applications of the issues presented at the 37th University of Nottingham Feed Conference.
This book provides a review of the current state of knowledge on all aspects of the nutrition of sheep. Although the main emphasis is on sheep grazing temperate pastures, there is also coverage of the nutrition of intensively reared lambs and of grazing in extensive rangelands. <br /> <br /> The book will be suitable for advanced undergraduate students, as well...
Amino acid metabolism and nutrition of farm animals continues to be an active area of research. However, since the publication of the first edition, as Amino Acids in Farm Animal Nutrition (1994), there is now a need to take into account advances in the amino acid nutrition of a wider range of animals, including companion animals. <br /> <br /> In this new...
Documenting the proceedings of the 39th University of Nottingham Feed Conference, this volume contains comprehensive analyses of the issues facing the feed industry along with practical applications.
Farming systems based on high dietary forage proportions have been shown to increase n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in ruminant fat compared to conventional farming systems that rely more on concentrate feeding. Further, alpine/mountain systems, with high forage proportions and botanical diversity, have also been described to increase the n-3 PUFA content in...
