Sommario/riassunto |
|
The feeding of farm animals directly effects their growth, health, reproduction and ultimately their economic value and is consequently one of the most studied areas of animal science. This work is an examination of developments in the understanding of voluntary food intake and ideas and studies relating to diet selection. |
