Full Description
Created for sophomore/junior undergraduate level courses in Animal Nutrition. This contemporary and authoritative survey provides comprehensive coverage of the nutritional and scientific feeding of beef cattle, dairy cattle, poultry, horses, sheep, and swine, and offers a detailed treatment of feed composition for use in ration formulation.
