Many people presume that supplements are safer than drugs, but the reality is that there are very limited safety data on dietary supplements for pets.\nMany challenges stand in the way of determining whether animal dietary supplements are safe and at what dosage. Supplements considered safe in humans and other species are not always safe in horses, dogs, and cats. An improved adverse event reporting system is badly needed. Also, the absence of laws and regulations that specifically address animal dietary supplements causes considerable confusion to the industry and to the public. Clear and precise regulations are needed to allow only safe dietary supplements on the market.\nThis book examines issues in determining safety of animal dietary supplements in general, and the safety of three animal dietary supplements; lutein, evening primrose oil, and garlic, in particular.", url = "https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/12461/safety-of-dietary-supplements-for-horses-dogs-and-cats", year = 2009, publisher = "The National Academies Press", address = "Washington, DC" } @BOOK{NAP author = "National Research Council", title = "Nutrient Requirements of Small Ruminants: Sheep, Goats, Cervids, and New World Camelids", isbn = "978-0-309-47323-1", abstract = "Updating two previous National Research Council publications, Nutrient\nRequirements of Sheep, Sixth Revised Edition, 1985, and Nutrient Requirements\nof Goats, First Edition, 1981, this new book provides an evaluation of the scientific\nliterature on the nutrient requirements of small ruminants in all\nstages of life.
