Updating two previous National Research Council publications, Nutrient
Requirements of Sheep, Sixth Revised Edition, 1985, and Nutrient Requirements
of Goats, First Edition, 1981, this new book provides an evaluation of the scientific
literature on the nutrient requirements of small ruminants in all
stages of life. In addition, effects of the environment, feed additives, and
metabolism modifiers on nutrient requirements are addressed. Proper formulation
of diets for small ruminants depends on adequate knowledge of
their nutrient requirements. These requirements depend on the breed and
age of the animal and whether he or she is exercising, pregnant, or lactating.
Nutrient Requirements of Small Ruminants brings together a summary of
this latest data with new and expanded information on the composition of
feeds commonly consumed by small ruminants, both domestic and wild.
For the first time this authoritative reference work includes information on
cervids and camelids. Primarily intended for animal nutritionists, veterinarians,
and other scientists, some sections will be useful to individual sheep
and goat owners and managers and to those responsible for the care and
management of wildlife species. As both a practical and a technical reference
book, this material is written to ensure that diets of small ruminants
contain adequate amounts of nutrients and that intakes of certain nutrients
are not so excessive that they inhibit performance or impair health.Table of Contents
