Voluntary Food Intake and Diet Selection in Farm Animals

Author: J M Forbes

This book is, in part, a second edition of the author's previous work The Voluntary Food Intake of Farm Animals (Butterworths, 1986). However, it has been revised and extended to such an extent that it is effectively a new book in its own right. More emphasis has been placed on diet selection, learning and appetites. All other sections have been brought up-to-date and completely reorganized. The text is copiously referenced to provide access to the original literature. It represents a standard work on its subject and is essential reading for advanced students and research workers in animal nutrition.
