Write a review
In many countries, there is resistance to the use of antibiotic growth promoters in raising animals for food. Unfortunately, there is little appreciation of the challenges, this poses to the production of large volumes of low cost food of animal origin. This book talks about the concept of 'Total Nutrition', aimed at meeting these challenges.
Following the success of Nutricines, the author considers the practical implications and implementation of the theories laid out therein. The strategic use of a wide variety of disease avoidance and health maintenance measures will contribute the an improved and more acceptable system of animal production without the use of antibiotic growth promoters.
