Hormonal Regulation of Farm Animal Growth

Hormonal Regulation of Farm Animal Growth

• Paperback
• Cabi
• English

By (author) K. L. Hossner 

 This book describes the cellular and molecular mechanisms that control farm animal growth, including development and body composition. The emphasis is on circulating hormones, local growth factors and gene transcription factors which regulate growth and differentiation of skeletal muscle, bone and adipose tissue. Overall, this book will be an important resource for students that have a limited background in cell, molecular and developmental biology and the effect of endocrine and growth factors on the growth process.

Premium Book of Nutritional Strategies of Animal Feed Additives Free Download

Nutritional Strategies of Animal Feed Additives

Nutritional Strategies of Animal Feed Additives

by Abdel Fattah Z. M. Salem

 Pages: 221 pages
Publisher: --
Edition: 1 edition (January 15, 2012)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1624170005
ISBN-13: 978-1624170003

Description

Quality of feed nutrition is influenced not only by the content but also by some other aspects such as, feed presentation, hygiene, anti-nutritional factors, digestibility and palatability. Feed additives provide a mechanism by which such dietary deficiencies can be addressed and also benefits not only associated with the nutrition and thus the growth rate of the animal concerned, but also its health and welfare. Feed additives could modify animal metabolism in specific and direct ways by improving production efficiency (weight gain or milk yield); improving carcass composition in growing animals; increasing milk yield in lactating animals; and decreasing animal waste per production unit. This book discusses the impacts of feed additives on animal metabolism, health and production.

Growth of Farm Animals

 

Growth of Farm Animals (Cabi) Second Edition

by T. L. J. Lawrence (Author), V. R. Fowler (Author)

  Topics from the first edition expanded to form separate chapters dealing with the effects of hormones, genes and the immune system on growth
* New chapters include tissues: growth and structure relative to product value for human consumption, mammary gland growth and product yield, and growth promoters
* Additional updating of the text as appropriate
* An understanding of the processes that change the shape and composition of farm animals is fundamental to all aspects of production.

The book provides a comprehensive picture of how animals grow, change in shape and in composition, and of the factors which affect growth processes and dictate the extent and direction of changes within the animal.

Animal Nutrition Science

 

 Animal Nutrition ScienceBy  G. Dryden1st EditionWritten for senior undergraduate and graduate students, Animal Nutrition Science introduces the fundamental topics of animal nutrition, in a treatment which deals with terrestrial animals in general. Addressing a wider range of topics than the standard animal nutrition texts, the subjects covered include nutritional ecology and the evolution of feeding styles, nutrients (including minerals, vitamins and water) and their functions, food composition and methods of evaluating foods, mammalian and microbial digestion and the supply of nutrients, control and prediction of food intake, quantitative nutrition and ration formulation, methods of investigating nutritional problems, nutritional genomics, nutrition and the environment, and methods of feed processing and animal responses to processed foods. The many references provide the scientific basis for the text, and give signposts for the reader to extend their enquiry in topics of interest.

Premium Book of Ruminant Physiology - Digestion, Metabolism and Impact of Nutrition on Gene Expression Free Download

Ruminant Physiology - Digestion, Metabolism and Impact of Nutrition on Gene Expression 

 Ruminant Physiology:
Digestion, Metabolism and Impact of Nutrition on Gene Expression, Immunology and Stress By K. Sejrsen, Torben Hvelplund, Mette Olaf Nielsen

Pages: 600
Publisher: --
Edition: 1st Edition (2006)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 9076998647
ISBN-13: 978-9076998640

Description

This book contains key contributions to the Xth International Symposium on Ruminant Physiology. Proceedings from past ISRP symposia have had a major influence on research and teaching in animal science over the years. Without a doubt the peer-reviewed chapters in this book, written by some of the best scientists in the field, will live up to this fine tradition. The chapters cover a wide range of topics spanning from digestion and absorption to metabolism, reproduction and lactation. Advancement of knowledge within important issues related to rumen fermentation, absorption mechanisms and splanchnic metabolism is treated in nine chapters. A number of chapters address the relationship between nutrition and gene expression illustrating important progress in scientific knowledge that can be obtained by applying the molecular biology methods to the field. Several chapters address the effects of nutrition on immunology and cover topics related to the health and welfare of production animals. In keeping with the increased attention on the relationship between food and human health, the book contains two important chapters on this topic.
