Infos

This text describes the limitations of experiment design involving different ingredients, and the characterization of experimental diets including ingredient selection, composition and the minimum proximate analysis required. It details measurements and the tools available for understanding data sets, data analysis and publication of research.

---

This practical research text provides an invaluable resource for all animal and veterinary scientists designing, analysing and interpreting results from nutrition and feed experiments in pigs and poultry.

The emphasis throughout is on practical aspects of designing nutrition experiments. The book builds on the basics and proceeds to describe the limitations of experiment design involving different ingredients. It goes on to describe the characterization of experimental diets including ingredient selection, composition and the minimum proximate analysis required. The text details measurements and the tools available for understanding diverse data sets, data analysis and eventual publication of the research.

This fully balanced and extensively referenced, yet practical, text is an invaluable resource to all animal, veterinary and biomedical scientists involved in the designing of nutrition experiments in pigs and poultry, and the publication of their research.

Rezensionen

'The book Nutrition Experiments in Pigs and Poultry; A Practical Guide provides a comprehensive guide to designing for pigs and poultry research, data collection and integrity as well as scientific writing and publication of research. The information presented within this book fills a gap in the market of published textbooks by providing practical knowledge of experimental design, analysis and writing. The format that this book is written in is logical and easy to read as well providing guidance and being thought provoking around what not to do when conducting or writing research... The authors share their expertise on areas that may not be well understood or simply not be thought of by the graduate student when designing an experiment...From my personal point of view, Dr Classen made the comment in the forward that this book would be a perfect opening day gift for graduate students and post doctoral fellows and I cannot agree more. As a practical animal nutritionist and part time PhD candidate, I think that the book is a wonderful resource not only for those starting out in their careers...This book will continue to be my guide and teacher as progress through me PhD candidature and I'm sure that this book has saved me from many experimental and writing blunders that I would have otherwise made. I can't recommend it highly enough.

This book bridges the gap between scientific nutritional theory and practical nutritional research by providing an in-depth checklist of do's and dont's for designing nutritional experiments. This checklist can be used by established researchers who want to make sure they are covering all relevant aspects, as well as new graduates who are learning what elements are important.
