livestock nutrition

Livestock nutrition involves providing animals like cows, sheep, and pigs with the right balance of food to support their health, growth, reproduction, and productivity. It includes essential nutrients such as carbohydrates for energy, proteins for muscle development, fats for energy storage, vitamins, and minerals for overall health. Proper nutrition ensures animals grow efficiently, produce quality products like milk or meat, and remain resistant to disease. Farmers often tailor diets based on the animal's age, purpose, and environment to optimize health and productivity while minimizing waste and costs.
