Ruminant Physiology
Ruminant Physiology: Digestion, Metabolism and Impact of Nutrition on Gene Expression, Immunology and Stress
Author(s): Edited by K. Sejrsen, T. Hvelplund and M.O. NielsenThis book contains peer-reviewed contributions to the XthInternational Symposium on Ruminant Physiology. Proceedings from past ISRP symposia have had a major influence on research and teaching in animal science over the years. Without a doubt, the chapters in this book written by some of the best scientists in the field, will live up to this fine tradition.
The chapters cover a wide range of topics spanning from digestion and absorption to metabolism, reproduction and lactation. Important issues related to rumen fermentation, absorption mechanisms and splanchnic metabolism are treated in nine chapters.
A number of chapters address the relationship between nutrition and gene expression, illustrating important progress in scientific knowledge that can be obtained by applying molecular biology methods to the field.
Several chapters address the effects of nutrition on immunology and cover topics related to the health and welfare of production animals. Finally, the book contains two important chapters on the relationship between food and human health.
