Swine Nutrition is a comprehensive text-reference for students and professionals interested in the proper husbandry of swine. Nutritional requirements of swine at all ages and stages of productivity are covered, and the development of nutritional capabilities of swine is examined from birth to maturity. The book examines classical nutrition from the standpoint of functions of nutrients and the factors which influence nutrient and energy utilization. It also looks at applied feeds and feeding of swine at crucial stages of birth, weaning, growth, gestation, and lactation. New biotechnology using repartitioning agents to direct energy and major nutrient utilization toward protein synthesis and lean tissue accretion is covered in depth. Recent information on the bioavailability of nutrients in various feedstuffs is provided.
