Summary

1 / 8

Past student reviews · Thomas Crenshaw

A student reported a low difficulty rating and noted that the instructor stated on the first day that attending class would result in an A.

What you’ll be able to do

  • Evaluate the interactions between nutrients, animals, environment, physiological status, and functions and integrate these interactions to understand whole-animal nutrition.

  • Identify classifications and profiles of major feed ingredients used to supply nutrients for monogastric animals.

  • Assess the major nutrient requirements for monogastric animals established by empirical experimental methods.

  • Build spreadsheets to calculate mathematical solutions required for formulations of complete diets for monogastric animals.

  • Design an experiment and critique the results.

  • Participate in discussions of laboratory assignments and presentations of experimental results.

  • Provide a completed statistical analysis of the data from the animal trials with a defense for the analysis provided in the oral presentation.
