HISTORY OF ANIMAL NUTRITION Flashcards
frequently referred to as
the father of nutrition.
The great French chemist Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794)
He established the chemical basis of nutrition and stated that
life is a chemical process
The great French chemist Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794)
- reported that nutrient constituent of animal body was provided by three
principals i.e saccharine (carbohydrates), oily (lipid) and albuminous (protein).
William Prout
Observed that pigeons on low calcium diet had poor bone development.
Chosset (19th century)
observed that Beri-Beri disease can be prevented by dietary
supplementation.
Takaki (19th century)
conducted first feeding experiment with single plant. All the grain and forage were from either corn or wheat plants. It stimulated the use of the purified diet method, which resulted in discovery of vitamins.
Stephen M. Babcock (1843-1931)
several vitamins, mineral, amino acids, fatty acids and their role had been discovered.

The 6 Basic Classes of Nutrients:
- Water
- Carbohydrates
- Fats
- Proteins
- Vitamins
- Minerals
3 Basic Function of Feed Nutrients:
- As structural materials for building and maintaining the body structure
- As sources of energy for heat production, work, and/or fat deposition
- As regulators of body processes/activities and as constituents of body-produced
regulators
involves various chemical reactions and physiological processes, which
transform foods into body tissues and activities.
Nutrition
Science of nourishment of animals.
