Nutrition Abstracts and Reviews Series B: Livestock Feeds and Feeding

Nutrition Abstracts and Reviews Series B: Livestock Feeds and Feeding is a fully searchable, comprehensive abstract database covering research on animal nutrition published worldwide.

With over 7,000 records added each year, Nutrition Abstracts and Reviews Series B is updated weekly online, delivering searchable summaries covering key English and foreign language journal articles, reports, conferences, monographs and books on all aspects of animal nutrition, alongside comprehensive indexing, classification codes, taxonomies, thesauri and other data mining functionalities.

Nutrition Abstracts and Reviews Series B also includes a backfile dating back to 1973 of over 386,000 records.
