The aim of this course is to enable students to learn the classification of feeds; understand the characteristics of roughage and compound feeds, their nutrient values (energy, protein, fat, minerals, vitamins), feed intake levels in animals, types and usage levels of feed additives, feed hygiene, antinutritional factors in feeds, and the procedures for feed analysis (fat, protein, crude ash, fiber, dry matter).
This course enables students to acquire fundamental knowledge and skills about feeds used in animal nutrition. It covers the definition of feed, its importance in the nutrition of farm animals, and the evaluation of feeds. Students gain knowledge about the classification of feeds, including forage, green fodder, root and tuber feeds, hay, industrial by-products, and feeds of animal origin. The course also addresses feed additives, feed processing, feed hygiene, and microbiological control in feeds. Additionally, students learn sampling and analysis methods, gaining the competence to assess the quality and nutrient content of feeds.
