Animal Nutrition encompasses the study and application of essential nutrients required by animals to maintain optimal health, growth, reproduction, and productivity. It covers various aspects including the digestion, absorption, metabolism, and excretion of nutrients in different animal species, from livestock such as cattle, pigs, and chickens, to wildlife and companion animals. A key focus is on developing balanced diets that meet the specific nutritional needs of each species, taking into account factors such as age, size, activity level, and environmental conditions. By providing optimal nutrition, animal health and well-being can be improved, while reducing the risk of disease and promoting sustainable agriculture and wildlife conservation practices.
