Enzymes in Farm Animal Nutrition

Enzymes in Farm Animal Nutrition

Enzymes in Farm Animal Nutrition, 3rd Edition provides a comprehensive reference on the use of feed enzymes in animal nutrition and production. It covers enzyme manufacture, applications, analysis, and mechanisms across monogastric, ruminant, fish, and shrimp diets, including advances in phytases and NSPases. The book also explores enzyme combinations, antibiotic-free diets, delivery systems, and methods for evaluating feed-enzyme responses.
