Animal Feeds Feeding And Nutrition And Ration Evaluation Cd Rom

"Integrated textbook coverage of animal feeding and nutrition with computer software used during ration formulation".--Pref.

The interactive CD-ROM contains formulation templates for eleven different breeds of domestic animals. Each may be used to formulate a balanced ration from available feedstuffs or to evaluate an existing ration for nutrient balance. There are 11 different applications for 11 different types of domestic animals. Each may be used to formulate a balanced ration from available feedstuffs or to evaluate an existing ration for nutrient balance. The CD-ROM is operated by six buttons on the home display: 1. Input Animal. 2. Select Feeds. 3. Make Ration. 4. Blend Feedstuffs. 5. View Blends. 6. Print Ration or Blend.

"Animal Nutrition Science introduces the fundamental topics of animal nutrition, in a treatment which deals with terrestrial animals in general. The subjects covered include nutritional ecology and the evolution of feeding styles, nutrients (including minerals, vitamins and water) and their functions, food composition and methods of evaluating foods, mammalian and microbial digestion and the supply of nutrients, control and prediction of food intake, quantitative nutrition and ration formulation, methods of investigating nutritional problems, nutritional genomics, nutrition and the environment, and methods of feed processing and animal responses to processed foods." -- Publisher's description.

Current pressures to maximise the use of forages in ruminant diets have renewed interest in fast, inexpensive methods for the estimation of their nutritional value. As a result, a wide variety of biological and physiochemical procedures have recently been investigated for this purpose.This book is the single definitive reference volume on the current status of research in this areaCovers all forages eaten by ruminant animals

Deals with feed evaluation systems, the nutrient requirements of ruminant livestock and the feeding value of a wide range of feedstuffs. This book lists about 800 typical forages, 65 crop residues and 120 concentrate and by-product feeds. It is suitable for teachers, specialist scientists and industrialists.

Dairy Cattle Feeding and Nutrition was designed to provide information needed by those interested in the feeding and nutrition of dairy cattle. It contains basic information for students in courses on feeds and feeding, dairy cattle production, and animal nutrition.

This publication provides information on the impact of animal feeds on food quality, food safety, and the environment, and thus improves the basis for managing such risks. The book brings together in printed form six reviews from the FAO electronic journal AGRIPPA (available online).
