Production of food and continuous supply thereof is perhaps the most critical factor in sustaining the growth, economy and security of a nation. This point is brought into the foreground most strikingly during periods of war, particularly when rationing has to be imposed. During and since the Second World War, pressure on agriculture in general and on animal industry in particular has mounted continuously to produce more and better meat, milk and eggs, and at less cost to the consumer, to keep in step with the rapidly growing population. With the prices of basic livestock feeds and protein supplements remaining high or rising, nutritionists have exerted a tremendous effort to find ways and means to enhance utilization of the basic nutrients - protein, carbohydrate, fat.
