Animal nutrition, which is a common area of concentration for animal scientists, focuses on the dietary needs of domesticated animals, primarily those in agriculture and food production. The text Handbook of Applied Animal Nutrition covers all aspects of animal feed science and nutrition in agricultural species, companion species and exotic species. First chapter focuses on nutrition and health of dairy animals. An animal model of Kashin–Beck disease induced by a low-nutrition diet and exposure to T-2 toxin has been presented in second chapter. In third chapter, we focus on vitamin-like supplementation in dairy ruminants. Fourth chapter provides a review of commonly used stable isotope mixing models (SIMM) and describes a comprehensive SIMM that includes all features commonly used in SIMM analysis. To produce high water quality in a compact area; separation of pollutants from restaurant effluents as animal feed, fertilizer, and renewable energy has been described in fifth chapter. Sixth chapter discusses on clostridial spores in animal feeds and milk. The aim of seventh chapter is to clarify effects of two feeding levels (restricted vs. ad libitum) and the three Ca:P ratios on foot welfare in growing juvenile blue foxes. In eighth chapter, concentrations of airborne bacteria and fungi have been measured at four ambient stations in four wind directions surrounding an egg production farm through winter, spring and summer using Andersen six-stage samplers. Artemia, a new source of animal protein ingredient in poultry nutrition has been introduced in ninth chapter. Protein quality evaluation of animal food proteins by in vitro methodologies has been proposed in tenth chapter. Critical care nutrition for exotic animals has been discussed in eleventh chapter. Fecal nitrogen concentration as a nutritional quality indicator for European rabbit ecological studies has been focused in twelfth chapter. The aim of thirteenth chapter is to establish the underlying processes associated with iron deficiency by assessing gene and protein expression changes in the rat embryo, focusing on the responses occurring at the time of the nutritional insult. The role of animal feeding trials on safety and nutritional assessment of GM plants and derived food has been focused in fourteenth chapter. The objective of last chapter is to characterize the phylogeny of the canine hindgut microbiome using barcoded 454-pyrosequencing.
