Download Free Animal Nutrition And Feed Technology Book in PDF and EPUB Free Download. You can read online Animal Nutrition And Feed Technology and write the review.

The field of animal nutrition and feed technology has moved forward at an accelerated pace year by year. The present book is a result of the author’s long experience in the field whereby which the information documented has been presented in a simple, illustrative and lucid manner keeping in the mind the level of the readers. Less important information has been eliminated, while the general framework, character and flavour of the literature have been preserved, the text presents the animal nutrition and feed technology in an updated manner with the interpretation for the theory in practical manner.
With the dramatically rising sophistication of biological methods and products and the increasing use of recombinant DNA technology, now is an apt time to review the status of biotechnology in animal feeding. This book gives succinct yet comprehensive coverage of products of biotechnology and allied sciences used in animal feed and feeding industries. Particular emphasis is placed on: - Conservation and upgrading of feeds and feed components - Increasing the protein value of feeds - Antimicrobials - Microbial feed additives - Increasing the energy value of feeds. Moreover, increasing environmental concerns are reflected in chapters describing dietary products which may help to reduce environmental hazards from animal feeding enterprises. A discussion of social and legislative aspects relating to biotechnology and animal feeding rounds off this useful compilation of timely articles.

The production of animal feed increasingly relies on the global acquisition of feed material, increasing the risk of chemical and microbiological contaminants being transferred into food-producing animals. Animal feed contamination provides a comprehensive overview of recent research into animal feed contaminants and their negative effects on both animal and human health.Part one focuses on the contamination of feeds and fodder by microorganisms and animal by-products. Analysis of contamination by persistent organic pollutants and toxic metals follows in part two, before the problem of natural toxins is considered in part three. Veterinary medicinal products as contaminants are explored in part four, along with a discussion of the use of antimicrobials in animal feed. Part five goes on to highlight the risk from emerging technologies. Finally, part six explores feed safety and quality management by considering the safe supply and management of animal feed, the process of sampling for contaminant analysis, and the GMP+ feed safety assurance scheme.With its distinguished editor and international team of expert contributors, Animal feed contamination is an indispensable reference work for all those responsible for food safety control in the food and feed industries, as well as a key source for researchers in this area. - Provides a comprehensive review of research into animal feed contaminants and their negative effects on both animal and human health - Examines the contamination of feeds and fodder by microorganisms and animal by-products - Analyses contamination by persistant organic pollutants, toxic metals and natural toxins
"Integrated textbook coverage of animal feeding and nutrition with computer software used during ration formulation".--Pref.
This fifth edition now includes: modifiers of digestion and metabolism, an up-to-date summary of feed analysis, relevant emphasis on human nutrition and increased emphasis on tropical components.
This fifth edition arms readers with the latest information on nutrient metabolism and the formulation of diets from an array of available feedstuffs. The authors discuss animals' role in ecological balance, environmental stability and sustainable agriculture and food production. A new chapter on the regulation of nutrient partitioning offers a lively and timely discussion of emerging technologies in modifying and increasing efficiency of nutrient metabolism and animal food composition. A new chapter on toxic minerals in the food chain addresses the role of agricultural production animal nutrition in protecting the environment from toxic levels of minerals and nitrogen in the food chain.
In the years since the third edition of this indispensable reference was published, a great deal has been learned about the nutritional requirements of common laboratory species: rat, mouse, guinea pig, hamster, gerbil, and vole. The Fourth Revised Edition presents the current expert understanding of the lipid, carbohydrate, protein, mineral, vitamin, and other nutritional needs of these animals. The extensive use of tables provides easy access to a wealth of comprehensive data and resource information. The volume also provides an expanded background discussion of general dietary considerations. In addition to a more user-friendly organization, new features in this edition include: A significantly expanded section on dietary requirements for rats, reporting substantial new findings. A new section on nutrients that are not required but that may produce beneficial results. New information on growth and reproductive performance among the most commonly used strains of rats and mice and on several hamster species. An expanded discussion of diet formulation and preparationâ€"including sample diets of both purified and natural ingredients. New information on mineral deficiency and toxicity, including warning signs. This authoritative resource will be important to researchers, laboratory technicians, and manufacturers of laboratory animal feed.
'Applied Animal Feed Science and Technology' explores and suggests practical ways of improving the value of animals through supplementation.It begins by refreshing the reader on the classes of feeds consumed by livestock, their digestive systems and pertinent scientific issues that the farmer and the scientist alike need to pay attention to as they strive to nourish livestock for profitable commercial production.It goes on to look at the science and techniques of supplementing dairy cows, beef, poultry, ostrich, pigs, sheep, goats, horses, rabbits and game. The author believes in Value-Added Agriculture and, as such, an attempt is made in this book to help stakeholders in the livestock industry do the same to animals through supplementation. This is vital, especially for the developing world where wealth creation through Value-Added Agriculture is still lagging behind.Dr Irvin Mpofu also gives a lot of suggestions for the 'do-it-yourself farmer'. He goes on to give details on how technology, especially biotechnology, can accentuate animal production. Feed formulation and stock feed manufacturing issues are tackled for the benefit of 'would-be' entrepreneurs, students and animal science practitioners. Dr Irvin Mpofu also believes in precision agriculture, and throughout the book he impresses upon the reader the importance of giving the right feed to the right animal and in correct quantities with minimum or no wastage. The motto of the book is that no ordinary animal should ever be allowed to produce an ordinary result.
