This book, which is essentially an abridgement of applied animal nutrition, has been prepared for use as a guideline for students, researchers, extension workers and policy makers in the field of veterinary and animal husbandry. However, it would be useful for the progressive farmers engaged in livestock production. The need for such book covering modern developments and strategic feeding for sustainable livestock production pertaining to Indian conditions is being felt.
