Mathematical Modelling in Animal Nutrition

Animal Nutrition Models

A comprehensive reference on the application of mathematical modeling to animal nutrition, digestion, and metabolism. The book demonstrates how quantitative models can be used to understand, predict, and optimize nutrient utilization, growth, feed efficiency, and production performance across livestock, aquaculture, and companion animal species. By integrating biology, nutrition, mathematics, and computer-based simulation, it provides powerful tools for research, feed formulation, and decision-making in animal production systems.
