New Edition Necessary,
This review is from: Basic Animal Nutrition and Feeding (Paperback)
I am sorry to say that I am disappointed in this book. While other editions may have been better, this one is riddled with typos, grammatical errors, and disorganized chapters while fail to focus on the nutrition and feeding aspect of their sections.

Appendix version,
By mischelly "mischelly" (Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basic Animal Nutrition and Feeding (Paperback)
All I can say is be careful when purchasing this book. My sister ordered this book and when the package arrived, it was the appendix version (gray cover) - Not the blue cover version of the book. So I ordered the book also to see if I would get the actual blue version of the book, and I got the appendix version too. So it ended up costing us money because we had to return it, and amazon doesn't have a selection for "not the book ordered"
