This volume summarizes the scientific literature on the nutrient requirements of small ruminant animals. It updates material from two previous publications: Nutrient Requirements of Sheep (1985) and Nutrient Requirements of Goats (1981). All life phases of the animals are addressed. The volume also features new information on cervids and camelids and considers the effects of environment, feed additives, and metabolism modifiers on nutrient requirements.
