There are number of methods for each measurement reported in literature and it poses some difficulty in selecting a suitable method particularly for those who have newly entered the research field. Compilation of appropriate methods for a wide range of measurements employed in biological research is often helpful to researchers and technicians and the present book is an attempt in that direction. The book entitled "ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES IN ANIMAL NUTRITION AND FEED TECHNOLOGY" authored by "Vinod Kumar, Muneendra Kumar and Raju Kushwaha" has been designed to meet the needs of the research students, teachers, scientist of department of animal nutrition and personnel of feed industry involved in feed analysis and quality control. The main purpose of this compilation is to make available a wide range of analytical and biochemical techniques evolved out of actual experience of research workers. Content of this book will be helpful in understanding the general principles and methodology behind preparation of standard solution, preparation, processing and preservation of samples, analysis of proximate principles, fibre fraction determination, mineral and vitamin estimation, fatty acid and amino acid analysis, estimation of energy content, in vivo, in sacco and in vitro methods of feed evaluation, rumen liquor analysis and tests for evaluation of quality of silage. This book is designed to give rapid and easy access to the recent test and techniques used in evaluation of feedstuffs, enteric methane measurement, rumen study, detection of adulteration in feed, determination of harmful constituents and pesticide residues in feeds and fodders. The text will also helpful in better understanding about recent techniques like atomic absorption and inductively coupled plasma spectrophotometer, chromatography, near-infrared-spectroscopy, calorimetry, sulphur hexafluoride tracer technique etc. Each section of book provides a structured approach to learning by covering the topics in a uniform and systematic format.
