Animal nutrition is the performance in which an animal secures and uses nutrients for purposes such as growth, reproduction, and other functions of the body. There is a need to ensure intake of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water among others. These nutrients are metabolized to produce energy, build tissues, and provide an immune response among other functions. Appropriate nutrition is important in animal health and has an influence on the productivity, life span, and level of resistance towards infections. There are different preferences in diets depending on different species of animals; cows, which are ruminants, have an elaborate stomach that is designed for breaking down fibrous plant components and protein is in plenty. When animals are provided with a balanced diet, farmers, pet owners or conservationists improve an animal’s performance hence productivity stock in agriculture or within the domestic setting.
