An overview of animal sciences covering anatomy, physiology, nutrition, reproduction, genetics, management, animal welfare, and behavior of domesticated animals. Food animals are emphasized to discuss their contributions to humans.

COMPARATIVE ANIMAL NUTRITION

ANSCI/DYSCI/NUTRSCI 311

Nutrients and their assimilation, function, and interactions that affect metabolism in mammals. Differences among species will be used to emphasize unique digestive and physiological functions and how these differences affect metabolism of nutrients. Humans will be used in some comparisons. Follows physiological progression of nutrients, starting with an overview of the digestive tract followed by water and builds on specific roles of nutrients and substrates needed to provide basic processes required for maintenance, tissue accretion, and homeostatic regulation of nutrients.
