Feeding Animals: The Composition of Feed

Duration: 1 hour

Every species, and individual, animal requires different nutrition and in order to provide them with the most optimal diet we must understand feed analysis. Nutritional analysis usually tells us the amount of protein, carbohydrates, fat, fibre and moisture. These may vary in amount due to the species, age, health, activity, reproduction and environmental condition. In this course, you will learn about the constituents present in animal food, common feed analysis, macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids), and micronutrients (minerals, vitamins).
