Summary "The Stock-Feeder's Manual" by Sir Charles Alexander Cameron is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work delves deeply into the chemistry of food as it pertains to the breeding and feeding of livestock, presenting detailed analyses of various food substances and their nutritional values. With a strong emphasis on the biological and chemical processes that underpin animal husbandry, the book serves as a comprehensive guide for stock feeders looking to optimize livestock nutrition and production. The opening of the manual establishes the foundation of its content, highlighting the author's extensive credentials and experience in agricultural science. The preface outlines the book's purpose: to provide insights into the composition of animal tissues, the nature of livestock feed, and the economic considerations of meat, milk, and butter production. The text begins by tracing the history of agriculture and the evolution of livestock management, emphasizing the shift from hunting to animal husbandry as a response to the growing demands of civilization. Cameron critically assesses historical feeding practices and the relationship between food quality and livestock productivity, laying the groundwork for the detailed chemical analysis that follows in later sections.
