By Peter R. Cheeke, Ellen S. Dierenfeld

Comparative Animal Nutrition and Metabolism presents a detailed comparative approach to animal nutrition and metabolic physiology across species. Covering both domestic and wild animals, it explains how digestion, absorption, and metabolism vary among mammals and birds. The book integrates physiology, biochemistry, endocrinology, and immunology to highlight metabolic idiosyncrasies, nutrient utilization, and species-specific nutritional adaptations — making it an essential text for veterinary and animal science students.

Comparative analysis of nutrient metabolism across species
Focus on digestion, absorption, and energy regulation
Explores unique metabolic and nutritional disorders
Integrates biochemistry, endocrinology, and physiology
