Laboratory Manual for Advanced Animal Nutrition Research

This laboratory manual represents an attempt to summarize and consolidate a considerable amount of information relative to laboratory procedures and experimental techniques that are used commonly in animal nutrition laboratory of the School of Animal and Range Sciences. It was originally designed to support practical courses of advanced animal nutrition, Ruminant nutrition and Feeding systems, Monogastric nutrition, Dairy animal nutrition and Feed stuff evaluation at School of Animal and Range Sciences College of Agriculture, Hawassa University and attempts have been made to include basic safety rule and regulation as well as analytical procedures. As such, the manual served the school for practical courses for more than 8 years as routine procedures for both under graduate and graduate programmes. Basic inputs have been included from outlines of the instructors' course notes to improve the contents of the manual. The late Dr. Aster Abebe deserves special recognition for their immense contributions on manual to be used as routine laboratory exercise for animal nutrition courses.
