Bedford, Choct and Masey O'Neill released their book “Nutrition Experiments in Pigs and Poultry”

Published by CABI, 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. 

Doctors Michael R. Bedford, Mingan Choct and Helen Masey O'Neill, all distinguished members of Engormix, are the editors of this book, presented in a hardback edition of 178 pages and published last month. 

In "Nutrition 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.
