This volume contains 26 chapters in sections on regulation of feed intake, rumen microbiology and fermentation, nutrient absorption and splanchnic metabolism, tissue maintenance and utilization of endogenous body reserves, tissue growth, reproduction, pregnancy and lactation, ruminant physiology and genetics, and host resistance to parasites and pathogens. The chapters are the plenary papers presented at the IX International Symposium on Ruminant Physiology in Pretoria, South Africa during October 1999.
