🤖 Smallpdf.com: # Summary of Nutritional Concepts - **Nutrition**: Involves chemical and physiological processes transforming food into body tissues. - **Nutrients**: Essential components like carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. - **Digestibility**: Measured by the digestibility coefficient (DC) and total digestible nutrients (TDN). - **Feed Evaluation**: Methods include chemical analysis and digestibility trials. - **Energy**: Classified into gross energy (GE), digestible energy (DE), and metabolizable energy (ME). - **Protein Sources**: Plant and animal-based supplements, with varying protein quality and digestibility.
