Mathematical Modelling in Animal NutritionJ. France, E. Kebreab CABI, 2008 M01 1 - 574 páginas Mathematical modelling is increasingly applicable to the practical sciences. Here, mathematical approaches are applied to the study of mechanisms of digestion and metabolism in primary animal species. It also explores common themes between species, and provides an integrated approach to mathematical modelling in animal nutrition. |
