Sheep milking is widespread throughout the Mediterranean, and is becoming more common in countries such as the UK, USA, Central America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Good nutrition is a critical factor in optimizing dairy production from sheep. This book is a translation of a popular Italian text, originally published in 2001, and includes some revisions and updates. It contains chapters on all aspects of dairy sheep nutrition and feeding, such as milk production, feed intake, nutrient requirements, ewe and lamb feeding, nutrition and reproduction, nutrition and milk quality, digestive disturbances and metabolic-nutritional disorders, and grazing and stocking rate management. The book will appeal to researchers in sheep nutrition, vets and producers.
