Ruminant Nutritional Physiology II
Focuses on calf and heifer nutrition, regulation of dry matter intake, plant and forage chemistry, vitamins, lipids, and starch.
Summary
Recent recorded grades — Fall 2018: 3.70 GPA, 80.0% A/AB (n=10 letter grades); Fall 2023: 3.57 GPA, 85.7% A/AB (n=7 letter grades); Fall 2025: 3.42 GPA, 66.7% A/AB (n=6 letter grades).
What you’ll be able to do
Assess source, digestion, absorption, utilization, and metabolism of nutrients in ruminants
Integrate concepts of carbon and nitrogen tracing and flux through ruminant body systems
Develop a command of modeling nutrient flux through tissues and be able to apply and extrapolate concepts to nutrient utilization and tracing methodology
Clearly communicate the conceptual basis, assumptions, and limitations of techniques and methodology necessary to quantify digestive and metabolic processes
Evaluate nutritional recommendations and current topics in ruminant nutrition
