Summary

The aim of this volume is to provide advanced students and researchers with a review of current knowledge of feeding in domestic mammals and birds. The first few chapters cover feeding structures and mechanisms in birds and mammals. The rest of the book then presents chapters on feeding behavior in particular species. The scope is wide, covering not only ruminants and pigs, but also more specifically horses, rabbits and ostrich. Contributors include leading research workers from Europe, USA, Australia and South Africa.
