ANIMAL PRODUCTS AND HUMAN NUTRITION

The final part of this book consists of one chapter and moves away from considerations of the animal to the consumers of animal products. 

The purpose of farming animals is to produce food (milk, meat, eggs), materials (wool, hide) and work (draught) that are of use to man. Chapter 25 describes the trends in consumption and nutrient contribution from animal products and then considers aspects of animal production that have an influence on the environment and human health.
