Описание: This book is for anyone interested in the structural and functional characteristics of the digestive system and how these vary among vertebrates. It discusses all of the major aspects of nutrition, anatomy and physiology in vertebrates and emphasizes the relationship between digestive strategies and the diet and environment.

Описание: The world's livestock sector is amidst a major transformation, fuelled by high demand for meat and milk, which is likely to double over the next two decades in developing countries. The major driving force behind this demand for livestock products is a combination of population growth, urbanization and income growth, especially in developing countries. The challenge is to enhance animal productivity without adversely affecting the environment. A key to this is reducing methane emissions from ruminants. The major limitation to ruminant production in many tropical regions of Africa, Asia and Latin America, where a large proportion of the global ruminant population is located, is poor nutrition. The productivity of animals is restricted by the low nitrogen and high fibre content of the native grasses and crop residues, which form the basis of the diets in these regions. Animals on these types of diets emit more methane than animals fed better quality temperate forages. These methane emissions represent a loss of digestible energy to the animal (up to 15%) as well as a threat to the environment. Reducing methane production by ruminants could improve their productivity, provided the efficiency of ruminal metabolism is not compromised, and reduce their contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. The challenge is to devise nutritional strategies and identify dietary components, particularly from locally available plant resources, that reduce methane emissions.

Описание: This book is intended to be a companion volume to `Protein Nutrition in Ruminants` (1982, Academic Press), which emphasized both the role of proteins and new systems for their evaluation. I have first considered the nutrition of the newborn and have stressed the role of behaviour `in determining whether nutrients enter or bypass the rumen.

Описание: This book fills the gap in the available literature on modelling farm animal systems. This monograph has a broad and comprehensive coverage of ruminant systems and features the application of models in animal biology. It will be of great value to animal scientists, agricultural scientists, modellers and animal physiologists.
