Effect of Environment on Nutrient Requirements of Domestic Animals

摘要

The report focuses on effects of environmental stresses on nutrient requirements of cattle (beef and dairy), sheep, swine, and poultry. The term environmental stress includes both physical and psychological aspects of the animal's surroundings, although most available data relating environment and nutrition involve the climatic environment and, in particular, effects of thermal stress. The report creates an awareness of the numerous and varied interactions between environment and nutrition.
