Animal nutrition is the science that studies the dietary needs of animals for optimal health, growth, reproduction, and productivity. It involves the analysis and formulation of balanced rations that provide essential nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water. Proper nutrition ensures efficient feed utilization, enhances immune function, supports reproductive performance, and improves the quality of animal products like meat, milk, and eggs. Animal nutrition also considers the digestive systems of different species—ruminants, monogastrics, and poultry—to tailor feeding strategies that promote sustainable livestock production and minimize environmental impact.
Animal genetics is a scientific discipline focused on the study of genes, heredity, and genetic variation in animals. It explores how traits such as growth rate, milk production, fertility, disease resistance, and physical characteristics are passed from one generation to the next. By understanding the genetic makeup (genotype) and how it interacts with the environment to produce observable traits (phenotype), animal genetics enables selective breeding to improve livestock performance. This field plays a critical role in enhancing productivity, ensuring sustainable animal agriculture, conserving genetic diversity, and supporting advances in biotechnology, such as artificial insemination, cloning, and genomic selection.
