Handbook of Feed Additives 2008, is the 26th annual compendium of products available for inclusion in animal feeds and drinking water.

Reviews of previous editions have heaped praise on the content and format of the Handbook, suggesting it is an essential annual purchase for feed producers and veterinarians caring for livestock, poultry, horses and farmed fish. A selection of quotations from these reviews is reproduced below.

"The presentation is masterly with indexing and cross-indexing allowing full access to all the data in an unambiguous manner".

"The prescribing veterinarian would be well advised to take notice and see to it, not only that he has the handbook in his car, but also knows which of the products contained therein are being fed to animals in his care".

The Veterinary Record

"This Handbook has become even more useful than previously … providing the information needed for the careful completion of veterinary written directions in an easy to use format. By having all data sheets arranged in alphabetical order any one named product can be located rapidly. Thus, the inclusion rates for a product, the quantity of active ingredient(s) in the final feed, the product licence number, the withdrawal period and any other relevant information can be found quickly".

Don Haxby (former President of the Royal Veterinary College)
reviewing the Handbook in Feed Compounder

"This publication will be an invaluable aid and reference for all farm animal practitioners to whom I commend it.

"It contains in alphabetical order, using trade names, all the commonly used feed additives giving inclusion rates, contra-indications, dosage rates and methods of administration. Withdrawal times are cited. Package quantities and legal categories are clearly stated thus making it easy for the busy veterinary surgeon to write an accurate prescription without recourse to individual company data sheets.

"Buy it and save time, temper and trouble".

Dr Brian Cooke (former Chairman of the UKASTA Scientific Committee)

"The Handbook is of vital importance to all feed manufacturers, veterinary surgeons and, indeed, anyone involved with farm livestock production and husbandry".

The Farmers Guardian
