"Animals play a key role in the transition towards a circular economy. They valorize co-products to create healthy and nutritious food for humans. This book makes a significant contribution to this process with its review of recent research and development in the field of ruminant and monogastric feed".
Dr Leo A. den Hartog, Professor of Animal Nutrition in a Circular Economy at Wageningen University, The Netherlands, and R&D Director of Nutreco

The animal feed sector faces increasingly complex challenges. It needs to improve feed digestibility/efficiency whilst also promoting growth and enhancing both product quality and safety. At the same time it has an increasingly important role in helping to promote animal health, welfare and the sustainability of farming.

Developing animal feed products reviews advances in optimising the key stages in developing successful new animal feed products, from assessing feed ingredients, product development and processing to maintaining quality and safety. The collection features authoritative discussions by leading experts on the relationship between nutrition and animal health, as well as how best to implement risk management systems for the prevention and control of contaminants present in animal feed.

Edited by Dr Navaratnam Partheeban, Royal Agricultural University, UK, Developing animal feed products will be a standard reference for companies involved in the manufacture of animal feed, as well as researchers in livestock nutrition, government and other agencies regulating the animal feed sector.
