Feeds and Feeding,sixth edition, has been prepared by the senior author in order to keep current the text that was first written by Dr. Arthur E. Cullison and published in 1975. Following the traditional design and intent of Dr. Cullison--and also Dr. Robert S. Lowrey in the fourth edition--the current revision has been prepared as a text for an undergraduate course in animal nutrition and feeding. Therefore, only information pertinent to such a course has been included. While this book answers most basic questions pertaining to animal feeding and nutrition, it does not deal with more unusual feeds and is not intended as an all-purpose reference on such matters.The overall importance of poultry meat--especially broiler chicken and turkeys--as a source of human food has increased very rapidly, whereas that from cattle, pork, sheep, and veal has tended to either remain fairly constant or decline. Charts have been prepared to demonstrate changes in consumption of animal poultry meat per person in the United States between 1960 and 2002, and are presented in connection with the subject matter relevant to each of the species. Starting with the fifth edition, sections on the nutrition of laying hens, and chicks for the production of broiler meat were included, thus changing the format of the original four editions.This sixth edition, following the tradition of the first five editions, is not meant as a review of original research literature. Most complete literature citations are found in the National Research Council (NRC) bulletins covering each of the species of animals for which nutrition and feeding programs have been included. Since each of the NRC bulletins has been prepared by a committee of outstanding researchers and teachers, such bulletins have served as the ultimate authority in preparing nutrient and feed recommendations presented in this book. However, there are several other textbooks that contain excellent reviews of literature that deserve to be perused when the student wishes to go into greater depth on a subject. Although the last edition of Morrison'sFeeds and Feedingwas published nearly 40 years ago, it still has a great deal of pertinent information that was useful to the senior author in preparing the sixth edition.Feeds and Nutrition,by Ensminger, Oldfield, and Heinemann, containing more than 1,500 pages, is probably one of the most nearly complete books on the subject. In addition, more basic nutrition books such as Maynard's Animal Nutrition might be helpful references.The sixth edition provides the latest information available on feed composition for use in ration formulation. However, because NRC bulletins set up nutrient requirements quite differently for monogastric and ruminant animals--and even for species within a category--it is necessary to provide two sets of feed tables: one for the ruminant animals and one for the monogastric animals. Naturally, this necessitates additional pages in the text but such changes also become necessary as research findings and changes in types of animals develop. Such feed tables have been developed from those presented in the respective NRC bulletins. The student should be made aware that different species committees may differ in which feed table data are presented. In other words, the fact that some feed data are presented on a 100% dry matter basis, whereas other feed data are presented on an air-dry basis, is a reflection of the species committee preparing that bulletin. Either method of calculating formulations is equally effective as long as the student takes any such effects into account.The authors wish to express appreciation to the National Academy of Sciences for permission to use data that have been generated by the respective species committees and presented in the respective species bulletins.
