Ruminants provide the bulk of the industrial world's protein.
However, as the world population increases, the burden on the food industry to satisfy demands also increases, a challenge which is difficult to meet in an age which is becoming ecologically aware. All the major areas of nutrition are covered and the sections are clearly defined which make it relatively easy to find the topics of specific interest to the reader. This book will prove a valuable reference source for those interested in ruminant nutrition but its price will ultimately limit it to those who are actively working in this area.
