BIO 306 - Animal Nutrition

3 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: BIO 200
This course will provide an overview of livestock animal nutrition by first discussing what nutrients are, what functions they serve in the body, and at what levels they are individually required. Subsequently, how digestive tract differences between species dramatically affect what they eat and how nutrients are metabolized will be emphasized. Feed types and nutritional values, the demands of various production levels and housing methods, and nutrient analysis are also covered.
