Related fields to be studied are environmental learning and environmental engineering. Environmental learning combines various social sciences to understand human relationships, perceptions, and policies regarding the environment. Environmental engineering focuses on design and technology to improve the quality of the environment in various aspects. Environmental scientists work on such subjects as understanding the processes occurring on earth, refuting energy systems, pollution control and mitigation, natural resource management, and the effects of climate change. Environmental problems often include the interaction of physical, chemical, and biological processes.
The 11th revised edition of Nutrient Requirements of Swine (Animal Nutrition Series) improves on areas in which updated information is available while retaining relevant information from previous editions. One could argue that this book is the most widely used baseline technical standard for the feeding of pigs and that this edition maintains that standard. Substantial changes include expanding the number of feed ingredients and their components in the feed ingredient composition tables. The tables now include a variety of ingredients from the bio-fuels industry. Providing ingredient energy values and expressing biologically active phosphorus content on a digestible basis, rather than an available basis, are the most important revisions of ingredient composition. Thus, biologically active phosphorus ingredient content and nutrient requirements are not directly comparable with those in previous editions.

Also, nutrient requirement estimates have been updated to provide more specific recommendations on the basis of the stage of the life cycle or level of productivity. Updates on requirement estimates are largely focused on amino acids and phosphorus, whereas trace mineral and vitamin requirements are largely unchanged. The major exception is the change in niacin requirement from total to biologically available. An addition to this edition that should be of specific interest to practicing veterinarians is a chapter on feed contaminants. Although not exhaustive, the chapter provides a nice framework for developing an initial rule-out list when evaluating suspected cases of contamination of swine feed. 2ff7e9595c
