Study Notes

Animal nutrition is the study of how animals obtain and utilize nutrients from their diet for growth, reproduction, and maintenance of health. It covers a wide range of animals, from livestock to pet animals, as well as wildlife and zoo animals. The importance of animal nutrition includes growth and development, reproduction, health, performance, and environmental impact. Nutrients are essential for the growth, development, and maintenance of living organisms, including humans and animals. There are six main types of nutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water. Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for the body, proteins are essential for building and repairing tissues, fats provide energy and help regulate body temperature, and vitamins are required in small amounts for the proper functioning of the body. Nutrients are obtained through the diet and are required for body functions, including energy production, tissue repair, growth, and immunity.
