[Animal nutrition in the dietetics of the 18th Century with "Materiae Medicae" by H.J.N. Crantz as an example].
H.J.N. Crantz (1722-1797), a physician and botanist born in the Duchy of Luxembourg and practising in Vienna under the Empress Maria Theresia during the 18th century, deals in his "materiae medicae et chirurgicae", written in Latin language, also with animal foodstuff. Animals from various species are commented on the utility of their meat and products to maintain health or to recover it after illness. The items of the text are described in free translation and in summary. Some more explanations are added.
