Overview

Principles of Protein Nutrition of Ruminants explores current techniques and concepts, pointing out limitations to these techniques and introducing ideas and criticisms that should be useful in developing new paradigms for research. The scope of the book covers the whole spectrum of investigation from grazing behaviour of wild ruminants to cellular and molecular phenomena. Aspects of the book include its emphasis on the energy status of the animal as the primary factor in affecting amino acid supply and its discussion of the nature of nitrogenous.
