"It is the most comprehensive textbook covering nutrition of animals available in the UK by far. It is accessible, up-to-date and easy to understand. It is an excellent support for all students studying animal nutrition."
- Dr Henry Greathead, University of Leeds

Animal Nutrition is the market-leading core text for undergraduates studying Animal Science, Veterinary Science, Agriculture, Biology and Biochemistry. It also provides a standard reference text for agricultural advisers, animal nutritionists and manufacturers of animal feeds.

The latest edition of this classic text continues to provide a clear and comprehensive introduction to the science and practice of animal nutrition. The text is supported by key experimental evidence throughout. Quantitative aspects of the subject are clearly explained and illustrated by worked examples. Chapters with mathematical calculations include problems and solutions to aid student learning.

The new edition of Animal Nutrition comes with:
Detailed analysis of the components of foods - carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins and minerals.
Expansive material on the digestion and metabolism of nutrients and quantification of nutrients supplied by foods.
Updated and revised nutrient requirements of animals and description of the foods commonly given to animals, including novel foods such as insects.
This edition includes nutritional topics related to molecular biology, the environment, and companion animals - dog and cat nutrition has been expanded.
Contribution of animal products to human nutrition, including their effects on health.
Each chapter now has a set of questions to assist with revision of the chapter topic.
Summary section at the end of each chapter allows students to recap the material.
The Appendix provides solutions to all end-chapter numerical questions.
