This third edition of Fish Nutrition is a comprehensive treatise on nutrient requirements and metabolism in major species of fish used in aquaculture or scientific experiments. It covers nutrients required and used in cold water, warm water, fresh water, and marine species for growth and reproduction. It also highlights basic physiology and biochemistry of the nutrients and applications of these principles to scientific and practical diet formulations and to manufacturing techniques for major species used worldwide in aquaculture.

'Weaning the Pig: Concepts and Consequences' is a new book that addresses the major issues surrounding the weaning process, both for piglets and the breeding herd, in modern-day pig production. The post-weaned pig presents many challenges to the manager, stockperson and nutritionist, and as such is a critical phase in the overall production system. Numerous challenges are also faced by the sow, which is required to be rebred as soon as possible after weaning. This book draws together summaries of research dealing with both piglets and the sow, and is a unique book in this regard. Accordingly, the material presented covers in detail the following areas associated with the weaning process: growth of the weaned pig, nutritional management in preparation for weaning, behavioural changes and adaptations around weaning, voluntary feed intake, digestive physiology, modulation of small intestinal integrity, the intestinal microflora and diarrhoeal diseases after weaning, intestinal immunity, nutritional requirements and intestinal requirements of the weaned pig, environmental and housing issues after weaning, saving and rearing supernumery and underprivileged piglets, and productivity and longevity of the weaned sow. The chapters have been written by acknowledged experts from around the world. The book is an ideal reference for all professions associated with the pig industry, and is invaluable as a text for students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

This book for all practical purposes, brings together in one volume the series. Digestive Physiology and Nutrition of Ruminants, whose first volume originally appeared in 1969. Many things have changed in the intervening years. The subject of digestive physiology and nutrition of ruminants is a fascinating field dealing with most interesting animals. As extensive research continues on a world - wide scale, we are gradually accumulating more and more data with which to better understand these animals. We thus strive towards more complete understanding and because of continued readers interest have pursued the publication of this volume by way of facilitating the dissemination of this ever growing body of knowledge. The Ruminant Animal represents a compilation of up-to-date information on major topics related to nutrient requirements and nutrient metabolism. You will note that each chapter has been newly illustrated and assimilates recent research citations. Due to the ever increasing amount of recent research and the publisher's concern for lengthiness, older references have by necessity been dropped from this volume. The editor might also point out that a book written by multiple authors has both advantages and disadvantages. If the editor selects the right co-author, it can result in a chapter with more authoritative writing on any particular topic because it is easier to write about a topic on which you are well versed and have done extensive research. On the other hand, not all great researchers are good writers. Another disadvantage of multiple authorships is that coverage of the total topic is less likely to be as cohesive as if one of two individuals had done all the writing. Conversely, as a field of knowledge expands, it also becomes more specialised and eventually becomes too much for one or two individuals to do it justice. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the countless individuals both past and present, without whose time, vision and energies, this volume would not hand energies, this volume would not have been possible.
