BIO-328 ANIMAL NUTRITION

Animal nutrition is a discipline of animal science that is concerned with the feeding of animals and how animals utilize dietary nutrients to sustain life and for reproduction. Animal nutritionists aim to provide animals with a cost effective balanced diet that is appropriate for a given life stage. This course in animal nutrition is divided into two discrete parts that serve to introduce the principles and concepts of animal nutrition. The first part provides a brief overview of the discipline, defines key terms and provides an overview of the structure and function of the gastrointestinal tracts of selected domestic species. In part II, the major classes of nutrients are reviewed in terms of their structure, function and metabolism. Prerequisite: BIO 110 or permission of instructor (Fall)
