The chapters of this book cover a wide range of topics spanning from digestion and absorption to metabolism, reproduction and lactation in ruminants. Important issues related to rumen fermentation, absorption mechanisms and splanchnic metabolism are discussed. Also, a number of chapters addressing the relationship between nutrition and gene expression, illustrating important progress in the on-field application of molecular biology techniques, is presented. The effects of nutrition on immunology and the relationship between food and human health are discussed as well.
