4.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent reference,
This review is from: Wildlife Feeding and Nutrition, Second Edition (Animal Feeding and Nutrition) (Paperback)
Robbins' "Wildlife Feeding and Nutrition" is an excellent synthesis of ecological physiology as typically practiced by wildlife management professionals. As suggested by the title, the emphasis is on forage, nutrient requirements, energy demands, and production.Robbins tackles the subject from a physiological, rather than strictly ecological, standpoint. Not surprisingly, ungulates (both wild and domestic) provide most of the resources, although Robbins takes pains to make his discussions as general as possible. "Wildlife Feeding and Nutrition" is positively packed with literature, charts, figures, tables, and even a few photographs. This is not a how-to manual for veterinarians and zookeepers, but instead a synthesis of physiological concepts. All together, a well-written reference. I'm looking forward to the third edition -William Adair, Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, Utah State University |
