David TischProfessor at SUNY Cobleskill's Department of Animal Science. He has several years experience in the feed mill industry and teaches courses in the following areas: Feeds and Feeding; Advanced Ruminant Nutrition; Principles of Parasitology; Fish Nutrition; Feed Milling; Principles of Animal Anatomy and Physiology; and Microcomputer Applications.
Feeds, Feeding, and Animal Nutrition is the first book of its kind to finally pair ration formulation software with the book to create a comprehensive learning solution. The animal feeding and nutrition industries are as computerized as any industry in the world, but the challenge has been to find software that can effectively accompany a book and give the reader everything they need to succeed. This is a deficiency that has now been addressed. The ration formulation software has the same functionality as that used in the industry today and covers each species discussed in the book. Along with the software, the book includes the most current information on animal feeding and nutrition available, including full species coverage such as four ruminants, swine, chickens, rabbits, horses, dogs, cats, trout, and catfish. The book also extensively covers dietary energy, water requirements for livestock, and feed milling.
