This new edition of T.W. Perry's classic reference provides updated, new and revised information on the feeding and nutritional requirements of beef cattle from breeding to finishing. All the critical components of diet are dealt with: vitamins, minerals, protein, silage, etc. The different nutritional needs of breeding cattle are also detailed. Thoroughly updated to help ranchers and feedlot managers maximize yield and efficiency, this Second Edition will be on the shelves of all those involved with beef cattle herd management and production. The second edition of this now standard guide adds the results of the latest research, most effective anaesthetics and useful illustrations of procedures and equipment and broadens the original book's coverage to include notes on fish, amphibia, reptiles and birds. It will prove an essential addition to the library of any laboratory where animals are used for research.
