Abstract
THE first edition of this work appeared in 1926. In the present edition, Prof. Hansson has reviewed the subject matter of the former edition in the light of the progress which has been made in animal nutrition research during the last decade. A chapter on vitamins, their distribution and significance, has been inserted. The question of the biological value of the constituents of feeding stuffs is also dealt with. Other new features of the present edition include: accounts of feeding stuffs which have been introduced recently into feeding practice; the scientific aspects of poultry nutrition; the regulation of bulk in the feeding of farm animals; the mineral requirements of different classes of farm stock. The tabular matter in the final section has been augmented by the inclusion of data showing the reactions of the ash constituent of the common feeding stuffs.
