Nutrient Requirements of Poultry. Ninth Revised Edition, 1994

摘要

The classic reference for poultry nutrition has been updated for the first time since 1984. The chapter on general considerations concerning individual nutrients and water has been greatly expanded and includes, for the first time, equations for predicting the energy value of individual feed ingredients from their proximate composition. The volume includes the latest information on the nutrient requirements of meat- and egg-type chickens, incorporating data on brown-egg strains for the first time, turkey, geese, ducks, pheasants, Japanese quail, and Bobwhite quail. This publication also contains new appendix tables that document in detail the scientific information used to derive the nutrient requirements appearing in the summary tables for each species of bird.
