This book describes current research in modelling nutrient use in farm animals, from cellular to ecosystem level. The chapters are developed from papers presented at a satellite meeting of the 9th International Symposium on Ruminant Physiology, held in South Africa in October 1999. - Excellent papers from a top list of contributors - Editors of great reputation - Covers the current topics of interest
