New version of an old friend June 17, 2003
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
Few students of animal nutrition in the United Kingdom are likely to escape an encounter with this book. Now in its sixth edition it is a superb introduction to the subject for first and second year undergraduates reading animal science, agriculture and related subjects at university. I dare say that it will also be of use to farmers and others who are at the sharp end of animal feeding and wish to get a greater understanding of the underpinning issues. Minor gripes include that it is a little simplistic in places; I did feel that some subjects could have been dealt with more fully without increasing the length of the book too greatly. In addition, as with the last version of the book, the feeds nutrient composition tables at the back of the book still have some values missing; I cannot believe that it is that difficult to get these tables to a state of completion. Finally, the feeding standards for dairy cattle have recently been revamped, but these changes have come too late to be included in this version. These comments notwithstanding, I used an earlier version of this book in my own undergraduate studies, and it is the only book that I recommend to my own students of animal nutrition.
