Nutrition
Processes of nourishing animals; especially, series of activities by which an animal takes in and assimilates food/feed for promoting growth and replacing worn out or injured tissues
Nutrition
It involves various chemical reactions and physiological processes which transform foods/feeds into body tissues and activities
Nutrition
Deals with the kind and amount of feeds, their composition of nutrients, the animal performance desired, digestion, and metabolism of nutrients
Nutrition
The study of the effects of foods and food constituents on gene expression
Nutrigenomics
Deals with the prevention of some diseases caused by inappropriate feeding / eating behaviors / practices
Nutrology
Chemical element or compound that is essential for normal body metabolism
Nutrient

Nutrient
Any feed constituent or group of feed constituents of the same general composition that aids in the support of animal life
Nutrient
A particular product that provides nutrients
Feed
Any material consisting grains, fodder, or by-products of animal or plant origin which when properly used has nutritional value to animals
Feed
