Amino Acids in Animal Nutrition (2^nd Ed.)

Amino acid metabolism and nutrition of farm animals continues to be an active area of research. However, since the publication of the first edition, there is now a need to take into account advances in the amino acid nutrition of a wider range of animals, including companion animals. In this new edition, the editor has retained chapters imparting strength to the first version, while introducing authors with new ideas and vision, as well as chapters on other animals such as cats and dogs. The book is thematically structured. Part 1 includes chapters of an introductory and general nature with applications to a wide range of animal species. The next four parts are species-related sctions, including pigs, poultry, ruminants, and other animals. The chapters in the final section cover applications and perspectives. The book has been written as a reference work for advanced students, as well as researchers in animal nutrition.
