Objectives

The general aim of the course is that the student through an understanding of the chemical composition of feed and the animal’s metabolism, should obtain understanding of the feeding and digestion for production and maintained health of different animal species.



On completion of the course, the student will be able to:

- describe commonly occurring feeds and their nutritional properties,

- account for different process technologies, methods for harvest and storage for animal and vegetable feeds as well as influencing factors for the nutritional and hygienic quality of the feed,

- describe basic preconditions for the nutritional needs as well as the nutrient metabolism of different animal species,

- describe and give proposal on appropriate feed materials to different animal species as well as understand the importance of the hygienic quality of the feed,

- account for the principles of optimisation of a diet and apply these practically,

- critically review scientific and popular literature concerning feeding of animals,

- present an analytical literature study based on research, orally and in writing.

Content

The course gives an overview over how nutrients in different feeds are metabolized and utilized in food producing animals, zoo animals as well as animals for sport and society. In lectures it is described thoroughly how the different animal species are fed. Furthermore, an understanding of methods for production and conservation of feed are given as well as how feed is fed, both through theoretical calculations and study visits at farms as well as at zoo. Exercises take place in ration optimization with and without computer-aid. A project work is carried out in groups of students from different programmes and where articles in the scientific press with relation to feed are reviewed scientifically and from a sustainability perspective.



Compulsory components occur in e.g. group work, presentations, group discussions, projects and study visits.



In the course, the following general skills are trained: Scientific communication as well as oral presentation

Formats and requirements for examination

Passed oral and written examination, passed project work as well as approved participation in compulsory components. If a student fails a test, the examiner may give the student a supplementary assignment, provided this is possible and there is reason to do so.

If a student has been granted targeted study support because of a disability, the examiner has the right to offer the student an adapted test, or provide an alternative form of assessment.

If this course is discontinued, SLU will decide on transitional provisions for the examination of students admitted under this syllabus who have not yet been awarded a Pass grade.

For the assessment an independent project (degree project), the examiner may also allow a student to add supplemental information after  the deadline for submission.  For more information, please refer to the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.

• If the student fails a test, the examiner may give the student a supplementary assignment, provided this is possible and there is reason to do so.
• If the student has been granted special educational support because of a disability, the examiner has the right to offer the student an adapted test, or provide an alternative assessment.
• If changes are made to this course syllabus, or if the course is closed, SLU shall decide on transitional rules for examination of students admitted under this syllabus but who have not yet passed the course.
• For the examination of a degree project (independent project), the examiner may also allow the student to add supplemental information after the deadline. For more information on this, please refer to the regulations for education at Bachelor's and Master's level.

Other information

The right to take part in teaching and/or supervision only applies to the course instance which the student has been admitted to and registered on.

If there are special reasons, the student may take part in course components that require compulsory attendance at a later date. For more information, please refer to the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.

Additional information

The course includes 6 credits in nutrition as well as 1.5 credits in feed science The course assumes good prior knowledge in the animals’ physiology as well as biochemistry.
