Monogastric nutrition

Monogastric nutrition refers to the dietary needs of animals with a single-chambered stomach, such as humans, pigs, and dogs. These animals digest and absorb nutrients primarily in the stomach and small intestine. Their diet must include a balance of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals to support growth, energy, and health. Because they lack the multiple stomachs of ruminants, monogastrics rely heavily on carefully formulated feeds to ensure they get all essential nutrients efficiently. Proper nutrition improves performance, disease resistance, and overall wellbeing.
