R.  aLatin American tables of feed composition.  aGainesville: University of Floridac1974  a509p.  aThese Latin American tables of feed composition include analyses of feedstuffs from most countries of Latin America. It is a combined effort by the Latin American countries, the University of Florida, Utah State University and the Unites States Agency for International Development. The object is to record in one development. The object is to record in one publication the information available for a given feed. The tables of feed composition include also appropriate analytical data from the United States and Canada. These data are used for a particular feedstuff when applicable Latin American information (chemical or biological) is not available to make more meaningful tables. Scientific names have been used as the first component of the names as a feed is identified by the scientific name in Latin America. Common, local and area names are also included in cross references. An international nomenclature is used. The first edition of Latin American tables of feed composition was published in june 1972. It was a preliminary copy and represented a limited number of analyses on most feeds. This second edition is based on more than 4 times the number of feed analyses over the previous edition published one year earlier. The first edition was available only in English while the second edition is available also in Spanish and Portuguese. Both a complete atlas and a abridgel edition of the Latin American feed tables are available. The abridged edition represents the sejected feeds and nutrients most commonly used in Latin American livestock diets, whereas the Atlas edition lists every feed analysis received by the project center for processing. This publication is the result of a continuing program of collection and recording of feed composition. Therefore, in the future it will be revised and updated periodically as new information is accumulated. The authors hope that the changes in the present edition will be useful and that the tables contain a minimum of errors. We request users of the tables to communicate errors and suggestions for further improvements in later editions. It is hoped this publication will be of assistance to feed manufacturers, research specialists, teachers, students, extension specialists, farmers and others concerned with formulating livestock and poultry diets throughout Latin America. It should also be of value to others throughout the World who are interested in feed composition, especially tropically grown feeds. These feed composition tables should be beneficial for increasing animal production efficiency through the application of improved nutrition. Furthermore, it will aid greatly in identifying and describing feedstuffs for which data are seriously limiting or lacking.  aanimal production  aAlimento  aAnimal  aNutriente  aProdução Animal  aAmerica Latina  aComposicao  aComposição de alimentos  aComposition  aFeed  aLatin American  aNutrition animal  aTabela  aTable1 aCONRAD, J.
