This course builds on knowledge of nutritional sciences by translating the information on nutrition to individual farm animal species and purposes. The emphasis is on the principles of utilisation of and requirements for energy and nutrients and the resulting feed evaluation systems as applied for the relevant forms of livestock nutrition (e.g., cattle, pig, poultry).
Lernziel
Studying the course allows the students to explain the most important basic relationships of nutrition and digestion and energy metabolism. They are able to name and apply the range of feedstuffs. They are able to derive the requirements of the most important farm animals. By means of a series of exercise examples, they are taught how to apply the knowledge to concrete tasks in the field of animal nutrition.
Inhalt
