Fundamentals of Applied Animal Nutrition
CABI Publishing (Verlag)
978-1-78639-445-3 (ISBN)
If you've ever wondered why animals prefer some foods and not others, how poor feeding management can cause conditions such as laminitis, rumenitis or rickets, or how to construct a diet to optimise animal performance and health, then »Fundamentals of Applied Animal Nutrition« will introduce you to the basic aspects of animal nutrition. The book gives a comprehensive yet concise and practical overview of the principles which underpin the design and management of farm animal feeding systems. It:
- Covers a wide range of topics from digestive function, nutrients and feed intake, to feed related disorders, grazing behaviour and management, as well climate change and the environment
- Provides a grounding in basic animal nutrition biochemistry and physiology
- Has hints, tips and practical down to earth advice on animal feeding
- Includes links to the latest data on feed composition, regulations, quantitative nutrition and ration formulation
- Is a companion book to Animal Nutrition Science
With its evidence based approach, yet emphasis on the practical throughout, it is valuable textbook for undergraduate and graduate animal science students studying the practical feeding of farm animals including pigs, poultry, cattle and sheep. Also it is an essential reference for early practitioners, veterinarians, farm workers and advisers in animal feed companies.
Gordon Dryden is the principal of a consultancy specializing in animal nutrition, an associate editor of Animal Production Science, and a member of the IUCN Deer Specialist Group and the IDBC Scientific Steering Committee. He was previously senior lecturer in animal nutrition at the University of Queensland, Gatton, and has since held honorary positions at The University of Queensland and Curtin University of Technology. He has a PhD in animal nutrition from the University of New England, Australia. His research, carried out in Australia and internationally, covers sheep, cattle, deer, horses and pigs; encompassing requirements for energy, protein and water, responses to nutrient supplements, digestion and passage kinetics, animal feeding behaviour, tolerance of water salinity, and near infrared reflectance spectroscopy. He has consulted internationally in animal nutrition and stock feed processing, and the design of tertiary agriculture programs in Australia, New Zealand and Timor Leste.
