Coverage of new feed ingredients (enzymes, byproducts). Information on how to make 'biosecure diets' with reference to Salmonella control. Increased terminology within the glossary.  Examples of various problem-solving and ration-formulation techniques that help your students with procedures in mathematical solutions.
