Study Notes
Fatty Acid Deficiencies
- Omega-3 fatty acid deficiency leads to neurologic abnormalities, including decreased visual acuity
- Omega-6 fatty acid deficiency causes skin and coat abnormalities, reproductive problems, and failure to thrive
Protein Deficiencies
- Lack of protein results in reduced growth, poor milk production, poor coat, skin problems, and weight loss
- Deficiency of specific amino acids affects hormone control, immune function, disease recovery, brain function, eye function, and heart function
Dietary Fat Restriction
- Restricting dietary fat is used as a therapy for disease management, specifically for animals with pancreatitis
Fatty Acid Deficiencies
- Omega-3 fatty acid deficiency leads to neurologic abnormalities, including decreased visual acuity
- Omega-6 fatty acid deficiency causes skin and coat abnormalities, reproductive problems, and failure to thrive
Consequences of Nutrient Deficiencies
- Lack of protein results in reduced growth, poor milk production, poor coat, skin, and weight loss
- Deficiency of specific amino acids leads to poor hormone control, immune function, disease recovery, and impaired brain, eye, and heart function
Dietary Fat Restriction
- Used as a therapy in disease management, e.g., for animals with pancreatitis
Energy Requirements
- Maintenance energy requirements include:
- BMR (energy required to be alive)
- MER (energy for muscle activity, foraging, and heat)
- Production energy requirements include additional energy needed for:
- Pregnancy
- Lactation
- Growth
- Work/activity
- Illness/injury
- Psychological factors
- Environmental conditions
