Livestock nutrition refers to the dietary needs of farm animals, such as cattle, sheep, and pigs. Proper nutrition is essential for their growth, reproduction, and overall health. Livestock require a balanced diet that includes carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals to thrive and produce quality products like milk, meat, and eggs. Feeding practices vary based on the type of livestock and their specific needs. For instance, dairy cows need high-energy feeds to support milk production, while broiler chickens require protein-rich diets for rapid growth. Understanding these nutritional requirements helps farmers optimize animal health and productivity.
