ANSC 0114

Students examine in detail the biology of digestion and nutrient metabolism and the assessment of feedstuff quality in forage-based feeding systems. The course will enable the students to analyze strategies for meeting nutrient requirements and avoiding nutritional problems, and to assess feed efficiency and feed costs for the enterprise. Lectures cover the principles that are common to all species, and the labs and tutorial sessions focus on more specialized topics that are relevant to the management of bovine, equine, and other ruminant species.
