This graduate-level textbook deals with planning of experiments, analysis of data and interpretation of results in trials involving animals. It goes beyond generalities to cover specific disciplines of the applied animal sciences such as nutrition, breeding, pastures and growth, discussing in depth the details, pitfalls and possibilities for improvement on current patterns of data analysis and interpretation.
Drawing on much original material and many examples and practical situations, this comprehensive text provides tools that enable the reader to improve the efficiency of the entire experimental process, and will be an essential resource for students, researchers and practitioners in animal science, as well as broader biological science disciplines.
