DESCRIPTION:
For introductory and intermediate courses in Nutrition or Whole Animal Biology related to Nutrition in Animal Sciences, Biology, or Zoology departments. This text covers the basics of nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals), cellular metabolism, and the principles behind the practices of companion animal nutrition. It is easy to read, directed to this century's students, scientifically correct, visually pleasing, and integrates science and the fun of companion animal nutrition. It is written for the student and the teacher, not for the "expert" by the "expert". The final half of the book covers specific biological principles and practices for dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, llamas and alpacas, birds, fish, rodents, and reptiles. Principles of Companion Animal Nutrition fulfills the need for basic animal biology as well as practical companion animal nutrition.
T. R. Pulliam said Great Book!. I am currently a student of Professor McNamara at Washington State University. He covers his topics very well, just as in the book, covering many different parts of animal nutrition across the different forms of domestic animal life. A must read for anyone with pets, to better understand what their diets should entail.. "Not bad at all." according to S. Colburn. This book was really quite good to help supplement my animal nutrition class. It was easy reading.The only thing I could say was it could go into a little more detail.. "easy read, book not well made physically" according to bae0626. This book was an easy read and greatly accompanied my nutrition class, but the paperback version did not hold up well throughout the semester. Much of the print ont he front and back covers scratched off very easily with only normal use.
