Description
Ed Tech Press Animal Nutrition Principles (Hb 2025) by Ihn H J
The classification and function of nutrients, signs of nutritional deficiencies, the functioning of the digestive system, the characteristics of feeds, and the development of diets for domestic animals are all covered in Principles of Animal Nutrition. Animal nutrition is the study of the characteristics and makeup of the food consumed by an animal, as well as how that food is broken down in the body cells of monogastric animals (such as pigs, broilers, and layers), ruminants (such as sheep, cattle, and goats), and lower digestive tract fermenters (such as horses and ostriches). The nutritional needs of diverse types of animals for varied production tasks are also covered. Numerous factors contribute to the importance of nutrition. Animals require the right nutrition for development and maintenance as well as to supply energy for activity and other bodily processes. Without the right diet, animals may experience health issues that require expensive care or even result in death. The effective operation and coordination of an animal's systems depends on sufficient nourishment. This book is appropriate for both scholars and students because it includes the essential and background information on the subject matter.
