Lesson Plan: Week 14- November 15th-19th

Livestock Nutrition

Goal: To gain a better understanding of livestock nutrition.

Description: From rumen functions to balancing feed rations, this presentation takes an in-depth look at livestock nutrition for both ruminant and non-ruminant animals. Detailed illustrations help students identify structure and function of the digestive system. The presentation identifies the importance of vitamins, minerals and water and describes how each relates to the nutritional requirements of livestock, along with exploring nutrient deficiencies. Feed quality and its correlation to animal health, as well as formulating and balancing rations, are also discussed.

Objectives: 1. To identify structures and functions of the digestive system of ruminant and non-ruminant animals.

2. To identify and describe vitamins, minerals and additives in livestock feed.

3. To analyze and calculate feeding rations and energy requirements, principles and practices based on nutritional requirements of livestock animals.

4. To explore livestock feeding practices and feed quality issues and determine the effect on animal health.
