Dates of Instruction: 1/19/2010 - 5/3/2010 Instructor: Dr. Perri Stark (stark@aesop.rutgers.edu) Description: Animal Nutrition is designed to help students learn the questions that they will need to ask when they wish to feed any animal. The course is divided into three general topics: digestive anatomy and physiology, the biochemistry of nutrients, and the feeding of physiological states. Many of the examples used in the course are for domestic livestock species simply because we know the most about those animals. However, we will discuss many species (humans, giraffes, dogs, birds, turtles) and the concepts of feeding for the stage of life the animal is in (maintenance, pregnancy, lactation, growth). More importantly, by the end of the course the student will have the tools to ask the right questions when they are faced with a new species, a new feed, or a new situation. Prerequisites: Two semesters of General Biology An introductory course in Animal Science is recommended Synopsis: http://animalsciences.rutgers.edu/undergraduate/courses/11067330w.html
