Nutrient Requirements of Poultry Summary

Nutrient Requirements of Poultry: Ninth Revised Edition, 1994 by National Research Council

This classic reference for poultry nutrition has been updated for the first time since 1984. The chapter on general considerations concerning individual nutrients and water has been greatly expanded and includes, for the first time, equations for predicting the energy value of individual feed ingredients from their proximate composition.
