Modelling Nutrient Utilization in Farm Animals

Modelling Nutrient Utilization in Farm Animals PDF By J. P. McNamara, J. France and D. E. Beever

By J. P. McNamara, J. France and D. E. Beever

Modelling Nutrient Utilization in Farm Animals PDF describes current research in modelling nutrient use in farm animals, from cellular to ecosystem level. The chapters are developed from papers presented at a satellite meeting of the 9th International Symposium on Ruminant Physiology, held in South Africa in October 1999.

  • Excellent papers from a top list of contributors
  • Editors of great reputation
  • Covers the current topics of interest
