Who said nutrition is boring? Not in this book, since it has
been transformed into a succession of graphic illustrations
where simple, concise texts and numerous diagrams,
drawings and images enable the veterinary surgeon to see all
the fundamental aspects of nutrition in cats and dogs.
From digestive physiology and feeding behaviour
to evaluation of body condition and morphometric
measurements, characterisation of the immediate principles
and the description of energy and nutrient requirements, this
atlas is a series of pages containing great informative and
visual wealth that will entertain the reader while furthering their
knowledge of pet nutrition.
Aimed at veterinary surgeons, students, teachers and professionals working in the sector.
