I cannot say enough good things!.......2007-09-11
I cannot say enough good things about this book! It is a must for anyone who formulates their horses' diets to any extent and needs specific information on feedstuffs. Particularly helpful if you have a horse with a nutrition-related disease, like insulin resistance or mineral deficiencies.

Customer Reviews:
very useful book.......2007-04-12
This is an incredibly detailed book, especially in terms of the nutritional needs of horses. The nutrient and ration tables in the back have been invaluable for tailoring diets specific to my horses' needs. My only complaint is that the second edition was published in 1996 and it is getting a bit dated. There is no discussion of the newer "nutraceutical" supplements on the market these days, or new research into topics already covered. I am hoping for a third edition, but I suspect I shouldn't hold my breath.
My favorite horse related book.......2007-02-08
This book is very informative. We have 6 horses with different nutritional needs and this book is my favorite "go to" source. It has lots of tables regarding optimal growth rate, nutrient needs etc. It has a very good section on deworming and much more. There are quite a few nutrition related books for less money, however, they are not as detailed as this one and often they cite this book as their source.
Good Book!.......2000-09-09
This truly tells what to and not to let a horse eat.

Book Description
This comprehensive volume examines the interrelationships of nitrogen and energy nutrition of ruminants. It provides exhaustive coverage of basic concepts, applications, and new research developments.
Rumen microbial activity is emphasized. The author, an expert in animal nutrition, discusses new systems of determining dietary energy requirements, the effect of processing feedstuffs, and stress factors. He reviews the availability of nutrients in grains, distillers' grain residues, oilseed meals, molasses, silages, pastures, crop residues, and aquatic plants. Growth stimulants, nutritional management of ruminants in feedlots and pastures, and the value of feed additives are also among the topics considered.
The scope of coverage provided by this volume will make it the leading reference for teachers, researchers, consultants, livestock producers, feed manufacturers, and all others who are involved in ruminant feeding and nutrition.
From the Preface: This volume covers research on various nitrogen and energy feedstuffs and defines terminology commonly utilized in nitrogen and energy nutrition. The utilization of nitrogen and energy in oilseed meals, fish meals, cereal grains, distillers' residues, molasses, silages, grasses, hays, crop residues, animal waste, and nonprotein nitrogen sources is discussed. Details are given on development and utilization of net energy systems, systems for balancing total nitrogen, and nonprotein nitrogen with total digestible nutrients (TDN) or energy components of ruminant diets. Discussions are presented on metabolism, feedlot, milking, and grazing trials. Growth stimulants, processing of feedstuffs, type of animal, and environmental and management factors that affect feed intake, growth, feed efficiency, and quality of product are reviewed.
Emphasis is given to the contributions of ruminal microbes in upgrading forage and nonprotein nitrogen sources to higher-quality bacterial protein, as well as their ability to downgrade high-quality protein and waste nitrogen when protein is fed in excess of microbial needs. Research is presented on means to increase bypassing of the rumen to prevent nitrogen wastage when ruminants are fed concentrate diets. Contributions of ruminal microbes in utilizing cellulosic materials as lignocellulose and hemicellulose as well as starch and other carbohydrates are discussed.

Introduction to Animal Science
ASIN: 0131133314 |
Book Description
Suitable as either a book for undergraduate courses in Animal Nutrition or a reference for professional animal nutritionists, extension agents, veterinarians, and livestock producers. This book has a two- fold objective—(1) to describe the properties of feedstuffs used in the feeding of domestic animals and (2) to provide information on feeding practices for a variety of domestic and exotic animal species.
Book Description
Jo Robinson's new book Pasture Perfect explains the far-reaching benefits of choosing meat, eggs, and dairy products from animals raised on pasture. Drawing on five years of research, Robinson explains that products from grass-fed animals are safer and more nutritious than conventional ones. What's more, the animals live low-stress, more natural lives. Chickens are free to graze on greens, scratch for insects, enjoy sun baths, and roost in comfort. Cattle, bison, dairy cows and lambs are truly contented as they graze on green pasture, breathe fresh air, and stay on the farm from birth until market.
Robinson is the first to gather all the scientific evidence proving that pastured products are safer and more nutritious. As readers will learn, meat from grass-fed animals is free of hormones, antibiotics and mad cow disease. It is also higher in Vitamin E, beta-carotene, omega-3 fatty acids, and the newly discovered cancer-fighting fat called "CLA." Eggs and dairy products from pastured poultry and dairy cows have similar benefits.
Pasture Perfect does more than explain the benefits of pastured products—it also helps you locate, store, and cook them. You will appreciate the 60 pages of recipes that are designed to bring out the tenderness and flavor of this highly nutritious, environmentally friendly food.
Accurate and carefully referenced, Pasture Perfect is the definitive book on this greenest of industries.

Seamless Transaction.......2007-01-10
Text arrived quicker than expected in perfect condition -- transaction was effortless, seamless and completed as if "immediately." Thank you!
Super market meat??????.......2006-05-01
Jo Robinson has done the research and it is enlightening. We have come so far from the days of the family farm and we haven't a clue. I am not a vegetarian but you can bet I won't be eating supermarket meat any longer, especially chicken (including eggs). Read the book to find out why (with scientific studies) organics, even more importantly pasture raised meat products are healthier for us. It is a quick and easy read because it does not take long to uncover the truth.
Book Description
What are the nutritional needs of your horse? Chances are, you might not know.

This essential information helps you make educated decisions about your horse's diet.
Customer Reviews:
Really helpful info!.......2004-02-18
This book is packed with helpful information that I can really use...Rather than providing a dumbed-down, one-size-fits-all recipe for feeding, Briggs gives horse owners the facts and formulas they need to make sure their horses' nutritional needs are met.
Try something else..........2003-02-24
This book is complete and informative, albeit a little hard to read. Horses have many different dietary requirements: fiber, fat, vitamins, minerals, protein... and Karen Briggs doesn't create any charts or guides to help you figure out which elements are likely to be lacking in your particular horses diet. Instead, try "Beyond the Hay Days" which provides equally detailed and comprehensive information as well as helpful summary charts that help you understand what your equines diet might be lacking and how best to suppliment it.
Customer Reviews:
The Bible of Nutrition.......2002-07-22
This book is the solid bible of animal nutrition. While the basics of nutrition are taught by the instructors, this is the reference book to be kept for years afterwards to verify nutritional content from every feedstuff imaginable. A brief explanation of principles, and then the outlining of critical and necessary elements of all feeds. Good for human nutrition as well. Highly recommend.
outline form.......2001-03-11
This book is written in outline form. So it is good for those who like that. It has a lot of information on how to formulate rations, not a lot of explanations for understanding it though.
Book Description
Excellent reference because of its quality and in-depth coverage! This volume represents a compilation of important information on major topics related to nutrient requirements and nutrient metabolism among ruminants. This outstanding collection facilitates the dissemination of this ever-growing body of knowledge and is a valuable tool for achieving a more complete understanding of the subject. An abundance of photographs, diagrams, and tables illustrate and reinforce the text, serving to enhance reader comprehension.

The Ruminant Animal: Digestive Physiology and Nutrition.......2005-07-19
Excellent source of information for those interested in SCIENTIFIC bases of animal management and agriculture
Perfect mix between nutrition and physiology.......2000-05-02
This book is a very good compilation of major information related to nutrition of ruminants. The best thing is that explain all the mechanism of nutrient utilization and it doesn't stay only in nutrient requirement. This is the best mix between a nutrition and a physiology book. A lot of tables and diagrams complete the information for a better understanding. Each chapter have a complete list of references and additional readings that allow you to complete deeper knowledge about any subject.
