Amino Acids in Animal Nutrition.

Amino Acids in Animal Nutrition.

Amino acid metabolism and nutrition of farm animals continues to be an active area of research. Fully updated, this second edition discusses the nutrition of a wider range of species, including companion animals. There are species-specific chapters on pigs, poultry, ruminants and companion animals.
