Energy and protein metabolism and nutrition in sustainable animal production / / edited by James W. Oltjen, E. Kebreab, Hélène Lapierre.
As world population increases, demand for food and particularly animal products is expected to grow substantially. Because of limited area for expansion of animal agriculture and growing consumer concern for the environmental impact of animal production, gains in animal efficiency will have to be pa...
