Dairy Chemistry and Animal Nutrition

Description

Dairy Chemistry and Animal Nutrition has undergone remarkable development in the last there decades. These developments, along with recent widespread application of the newest biomedical technologies, have inbued optimism that new strategies can developed for controlling the important diseases that for centuries have been the scourges of mankind. Dairying has developed into a highly technical industry. This evolutionary process continues, and it is desirable that the type of training should keep pace with or even anticipate the changing conditions of the industry. Milk has been a food source for humans since prehistoric times; from human, goat, buffalo, sheep, yak. Milk and honey are the only articles of diet whose sole function in nature is food. It is not surprising, therefore, that the nutritional value of milk is high. Nutritional science investigates the metabolic and physiological responses of the body to diet. With advances in the fields of molecular biology, biochemistry and genetics, the study of nutrition is increasingly concerned with metabolism ad metabolic pathways; the sequences of biochemical steps through which substances in living things change from one form to a other. This book contains the fundamental and basic information of subject and the selection of contents makes it an appropriate book for the students as well as for scholars.
