Description
Research of the past ten years has made it increasingly clear that domestic animals and wild animals differ in their nutritional requirements.
Nutritional management, beneficial to domestic animals, may actually be life-threatening to wild ones. This new edition of Wildlife
Feeding and Nutrition has been thoroughly updated to reflect recent insights, especially with regard to wildlife nutrition essential
to successful management either in the wild or in captivity.
Zoological garden and laboratory personnel, wildlife biologists, ecologists,
animal nutritionists, and veterinarians will benefit from this new edition.
Audience
