Nutrient Requirements of Animals Set

National Research Council, 3 Book Set: 3 hardcovers

To keep pace with newer research findings, the National Research Council (NRC) periodically revises its reports and determines whether revisions of current requirements or establishment of new requirements for a previously unlisted nutrient is warranted. This newly compiled 3-book set comprises the most up-to-date animal nutrition requirements from the NRC. The comprehensive data contained in these NRC reports form the latest animal nutrient recommendations for Dogs & Cats, Small Ruminants, and Horses.

Nutrient Requirements of Animals

Nutrient requirement standards for economically important domestic animals and laboratory animals have served as the foundation for animal feed formulas in the United States and abroad since the first National Research Council (NRC) report was published in 1921. The requirements set forth in the series of species reports, begun in 1944, are used by producers and manufacturers as the basis for feed formulation; the NRC is the only nongovernmental organization in the United States that provides these kinds of data. NRC reports are also used extensively in teaching and research. Today, the comprehensive data contained in NRC reports form the basis for animal nutrient recommendations throughout the world.

Since 1942, the NRC has published and updated nutrient requirement reports in 15 specific animal groups. To keep pace with newer research findings, the NRC periodically revises its reports, focusing on the adequacy of existing requirement levels in light of ongoing research findings, and determining whether revisions of current requirements or establishment of new requirements for a previously unlisted nutrient are warranted.
