Nutrition: study of processes where feed nutrients are presented to and utilized by living cells for productive processes maintenance, lactation, growth. Essential nutrient: cannot be made by the body or not synthesized in great enough quantities to support life processes, needed in the diet. Non essential nutrient: can be made by the body, not needed in the diet. Starch amylose, amylopectin (**very important for monogastrics**) Cellulose (only digestible by animals with microbial population ruminants) Lignin: all provide either glucose or volatile fatty acids for metabolism. Fat or lipids: consist of specific essential fatty acids. Arachidonic acid 20c (contributes to headaches, allergies) Protein: aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa, the 10 essential amino acids. Minerals: 2 classes // (stored in bones) Micro ppm or ppb in diet (trace minerals)
