Great book to supplement lectures,

This review is from: Livestock Feeds and Feeding (Hardcover)
Truly helpful in clarifying points in the lecture of a feeds and feeding class. Could, however, use examples of ration formulations.

Best of class!,
By Travis C. Ward "C. William Anderson" (Silverton, OR United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Livestock Feeds and Feeding (5th Edition) (Hardcover)
Third Edition: A thorough compendium on feeding most types of livestock. Nutrient needs of most classes of farm livestock can be found in many sources, but I bought the book especially because of the information dealing with feeding dogs, cats and rabbits.I recommend the book to anybody interested in producing domestic stock or wanting to understand nutritional needs of their pet dog or cat. I hope a future edition will include game and exotic stock, such as elk, deer, reindeer, mink, ostrich and emu.
