Techniques in Forage Quality Analysis
Springer Verlag, Singapore
978-981-19-6022-2 (ISBN)
The book covers different techniques and methodologies involved in the nutritional quality analysis of forages. It also discusses the nutritional quality, anti-nutritional components, factors affecting forage quality, feed processing and conservation. Different techniques and methodologies have been presented in a simplified manner. The book has been divided in separate chapters and each chapter discusses different aspect of forage quality. Further, the book also covers the topics on conservation and processing of forages and management techniques for improving the forage nutritional quality. This book is an essential source of information for research scholars, post-graduate students and scientists working on forage quality estimation and also in livestock and dairy industries.
Dr. Rajan Katoch is presently working as a Principal Scientist at CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur, India. He has more than 25 year’s of research experience in the field of Biochemistry and Molecular biology. He is actively involved in research on nutritional evaluation of forages and has headed more than ten research projects sponsored by prestigious organizations. He has received several prestigious awards and honors, such as the Young Scientist Award, award from CSIR, Government of India for excellence in biochemistry, Group Study Exchange (GSE) fellowship from South America (Brazil), ICAR fellowship, and DBT Crest Award. He has also received “appreciation award” from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for his exemplary work on rice bean protease inhibitor as a transgene for resistance.
