Advances in Equine Nutrition - IV is a new collection of original research and review papers presented during Kentucky Equine Research nutrition conferences. Conferences feature international authorities on nutrition, exercise physiology, and veterinary topics pertaining to the horse. These authorities have not only refined nutritional requirements of horses, but have also discovered ways to most

Searching for Patterns gives a concise overview of the methods used in data mining, the process of sifting through volumes of data, looking for patterns relationships that no one has been before.

Cricket is a team sport. Yet, if the team is to succeed and win, it must rely upon the individual team members playing at their optimum level. This book is aimed at coaches, team captains and players, both amateur and professional, and presents findings of sports and general psychology research.

Physics at last comes alive, for here we look at a scrum, say, show what Newton's laws have to say about it, and then use the physics to see how to improve rugby. For any rugby fan with a smattering of science, or any science buff who knows the rudiments of rugby, The Physics of Rugby should delight, entertain, and instruct.

This compendium represents a review of existing knowledge, as well as a basis for future research and development for scientists and the feed industry in order to develop efficacious phytogenic preparations for animal nutrition.

This title offers an overview of current scientific knowledge on the interaction between feedstuffs, feed intake and digestive processes in the horse. It also looks as the nutrient requirements of the horse and the models for prediction of nutrient intake.

This book is for clinicians, to help them learn how to ultrasound the chest, using trans-thoracic ultrasound. It is mostly concerned with simple bedside scanning, but also includes information on more advanced applications, to give the reader an idea of what a skilled radiologist, with a more powerful instrument, can do.

Offers an understanding of the microflora in the gastrointestinal tract and indicates how this can be managed in modern animal production without the reliance upon antibiotic growth promoters.

Preparing recipes for petfood requires knowledge of the animal's requirements at different life stages. Petfood is formulated to extend the animal's quality of life for as long as possible. Thus, the damaging effects of the environment, the natural processes of ageing, are various targets in petfood research. This book describes this research.

Offers information on the nutrient requirements, ingredient evaluation and diet formulation for poultry of all types. This book presents feeding programs and examples of diet formulations. It is suitable for those involved in the commercial poultry industries.
