Feeding Systems and Feed Evaluation Models

Autor Michael Theodorou, James France
en Limba Engleză Hardback – dec 1999
Written by leading researchers from the USA, Canada and Europe, this is an essential reference tool for researchers and advanced students in animal nutrition. Farm livestock have evolved digestive systems that are capable of digesting fibrous materials and by-products unsuited for man. Throughout the world, production from farm livestock is concerned with providing food and clothing of animal origin for man. Animal production science underpins this goal and provides the scientific basis for livestock management practices. Feed evaluation concerns the use of methods to describe animal feedstuffs with respect to their ability to sustain different types and levels of animal performance. The main themes of the book are methods of feed evaluation, current feeding systems, and mechanistic mathematical modeling. No other title brings together methods, systems and models under one cover.

Descriere

This book provides a quantitative/modelling perspective on animal feeding systems and feed evaluation. Topics covered include feed evaluation methods, current feeding systems and mathematical modelling of whole rumen function, the lactating dairy cow and others. Written by leading researchers from the USA, Canada and Europe, it is an essential reference tool for researchers and advanced students.
