Since 1944, the National Research Council (NRC) has published seven
editions of the Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle. This
reference has guided nutritionists and other professionals in
academia and the cattle and feed industries in developing and
implementing nutritional and feeding programs for beef cattle. The
cattle industry has undergone considerable changes since the
seventh revised edition was published in 2000 and some of the
requirements and recommendations set forth at that time are no
longer relevant or appropriate. The eighth revised edition of the
Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle builds on the previous
editions. A great deal of new research has been published during
the past 14 years and there is a large amount of new information
for many nutrients. In addition to a thorough and current
evaluation of the literature on the energy and nutrient
requirements of beef in all stages of life, this volume includes
new information about phosphorus and sulfur contents; a review of
nutritional and feeding strategies to minimize nutrient losses in
manure and reduce greenhouse gas production; a discussion of the
effect of feeding on the nutritional quality and food safety of
beef; new information about nutrient metabolism and utilization;
new information on feed additives that alter rumen metabolism and
postabsorptive metabolism; and future areas of needed research. The
tables of feed ingredient composition are significantly updated.
Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle represents a comprehensive
review of the most recent information available on beef cattle
nutrition and ingredient composition that will allow efficient,
profitable, and environmentally conscious beef production.
