Understand the dietary needs and processes of animals with this comprehensive resource.

Animal Nutrition is a single reference volume gathering the latest research into animal nutritional needs, digestion, and metabolism. A seminal new addition to the decorated Nutrition Society Textbook Series, Animal Nutrition covers the nutritional needs of companion animals and livestock, as well as providing detail on a variety of connected subjects. The book discusses the nutritional needs and characteristics of different species, reproduction, husbandry, and how nutrition can significantly impact animal quality of life and veterinary outcomes.

Written for the benefit of students, researchers, and practitioners alike, this accessible text offers foundational discussions of both theory and practice. The result is a book which promises to rejuvenate the teaching of this critical field.

Animal Nutrition readers will also find:

  • Detailed discussion of topics including feed enzymes, monogastric and ruminant nutrition, macronutrients, and more
  • An authorial team comprised of leading researchers and instructors
  • A focus throughout on sustainable animal husbandry and care

Animal Nutrition is the essential introduction for undergraduate and postgraduate students of animal biology or veterinary care, as well as an ideal reference for researchers and veterinarians.
