Brief Introduction
Utilizing modern nutritional science theory and technology to formulate pig compound feed is a prerequisite and material foundation for successful pig farming. The formulation of compound feed must be based on the theory of feed nutritional value evaluation and pig nutritional needs. Mastering and applying pig feeding standards and feed nutritional value tables, combined with specific production and economic conditions, scientifically, is precisely the purpose of this book. The book is divided into seven chapters. Chapters 1 and 2 mainly introduce the physiological functions and metabolic processes of seven major nutrients (energy, protein, amino acids, carbohydrates, fat, minerals, and vitamins). Chapters 3 and 4 mainly introduce the nutritional functions, characteristics, and utilization of various feed types. Chapters 5, 6, and 7 focus on pig nutritional needs, feeding standards, feed components, nutritional value, and ration formulation techniques with practical examples.
