Title: ANIMAL NUTRITION
Thesis statement
Many factors affect the requirements of animals and the extent of nutrient utilization. In animal nutrition, there are five factors that have to be considered. It encompasses the classes of various nutrients feed, the basal metabolism, voluntary intake, maintaining a balance between livestock numbers and available forage and the nutritional deficiency.
Main points * Nutrients classes
There are seven classes of nutrients divided into two main types. Macronutrients include carbohydrates, fats, proteins, fibre and water. Micronutrients include vitamins and minerals. * The basal metabolism
The basal metabolism is refers to the differences between the animal ages, sexes and body composition. The nutrition required by animal especially in ruminants vary in many aspects. * Voluntary intake
Animals are highly selective and appear to enjoy some feeds more than others. The smell of the feeds is often the most important because animals may reject feed without tasting it. * Nutritional deficiency
The two primary causes of nutritional deficiencies in animals are those resulting from poor management and feeding practices and those caused by low-quality forage resulting from mineral deficiencies in the soil.
* Maintaining balance between livestock numbers and available forage
Year-to-year and season to season fluctuations in forage production are to be expected on grazing lands. Livestock
