Beschreibung:
The book combines information about the behaviour that allowedruminants to survive and to evolve on Earth: the rumen. Furthermore, the readerwill find aspects involving rumen anatomy, physiology, microbiologyfermentation, metabolism, manipulation, kinetics and modeling. Thus, the bookwas not only organized to help students involved in areas such as ruminantnutrition and ruminant production but collegians gathering material forteaching practices.
Covers a broad range of topics such as behavior
