Document Summary
Principles: fundamental, primary, general law or truth from which others are derived. Nutrition: the study of the processes where feed nutrients are presented to and utilized by living cells for productive processes- maintenance, lactation, growth. Nutrition affects: reproduction, health, general potential, physical ability, emotional state, production growth, muscle. Represents culmination of unique relationships and scientific disciplines. Opportunity to assimilate and apply previously learned material. Important in molecular biology, biochemistry, cytology, economics and marketing, neurology, endocrinology, immunology, organic and inorganic chemistry, genetics, vet med, microbiology, math, physics, physiology. Understanding nutrition is critical in order to properly feed animals. *crude protein depends on n content: grams, kilograms, mg/kg (= to ppm, not just feed specific needs of r ~50 nutrients and must be in correct relationship. Broad: human, animal farm animals, exotic, pets. Animal nutritionist specialties: monogastric: non ruminant. One stomached animals swine, poultry, lab animals, pets: ruminant nutritionist. Basic nutritionists: study metabolism, cellular and subcellular biochemistry.
