The book "Livestock Nutrition: Analytical Techniques" elucidates the recommended and standard methods of analysis in a comprehensive and lucid manner. The most recent methods, including Bomb calorimetry, Isothermal, Adiabatic and Ballistic, non-protein nitrogen fractions, oxalic acid in feeds and fodders, cyanides in plants, nitrate and nitrite in forages, thioglucoside in rapeseed meal, free gossypol in cottonseed meal, and aflatoxins in feed, have been presented in a simple and illustrative manner. The book also covers additional analytical methods such as desoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) analysis in animal tissues, non-esterified fatty acid, and total lipids in serum or plasma lipolase, blood glucose, cholesterol, and urea, biuret method for protein content in wheat, and fractions of total lipids, including cholesterol, HDL, and LDL cholesterol. Furthermore, the book provides a detailed description of the method of urea estimation in animal feed as an adulterant. The book serves as an essential resource for undergraduate and postgraduate degree students in Food Science and Technology, Animal Nutrition, Animal Products Technology, Animal Feed Technology, and Foods Nutrition (F&N). It covers the syllabus for various degrees, including B.V. Sc and A.H., M.V.Sc., M.Sc (F & N), M.Sc (Food Science & Technology), Ph.D. (A.N.), Ph.D. (Food Science Technology), Ph.D. (F & N), M.Sc. (APT), and M.V.Sc.(AFT), Ph.D. (AFT), Ph.D. (APT), degrees of Indian and Asian subcontinent universities. The book is also beneficial for the Animal Feed Compounding Industries and Human Food (Vegetarian and Non Vegetarian) Products manufacturing Industries (Quality Control Laboratories) to gather information on the quality of their products before marketing. Lastly, this book is of great help to the candidates appearing for the interview of senior scientist, principal scientist, and Head of department post advertised by the ASRB (ICAR), Delhi, and CSIR Institutions of Country.
