Fifty Years of Progress in Sheep Nutrition

Department of Animal Husbandry, University of Wisconsin, Madison

Abstract

It is most difficult in reviewing the progress that has been made in sheep nutrition to refrain from constantly referring to the progress that has been made in the entire field of animal nutrition. The advances in the nutrition of other species has, in almost every case, contributed to the present knowledge of sheep nutrition. While this review must be limited to work specifically with sheep, acknowledgment is given to the many scientists who have made a contribution to this field although they did not work directly with this animal.

It is also important to grant acknowledgment to the vast quantity of research work in Sheep nutrition over the past half a century that cannot be reported herewith for reasons of limitation. Great progress has been made, but only because of the efforts of many scientists throughout the world.
