The primary objective of this course is to introduce students to the chemical and physical characteristics of agricultural and agro-industrial feed ingredients, providing them with the vision to integrate these resources into rational animal production processes. The curriculum aims to critically evaluate the nutrient compositions of conventional forages and concentrates, as well as alternative feedstuffs. Additionally, it covers preservation technologies such as haymaking and ensiling, along with the characteristics of compound feeds, to teach the core principles of rational feed utilization in livestock production.
Definition and classification of feeding stuffs , nutritive and feeding value of feed used by farm animal and their usage.
