✦ Synopsis

broadly inclusive equations. Much practical information is brought to light as, for example, how metabolism and maintenance costs vary with age and weight, or how temperature influences productive processes, or how body size of cattle influences energetic efficiency and profit on milk production. The coverage of the book is over a wide territory and involved reports and papers from many publications. The book is exceedingly valuable in its field.
