Veterinary Nutrition
Veterinary Nutrition is the study of the dietary needs of animals, focusing on how food affects their health and well-being. It involves understanding the nutritional requirements of different species, including dogs, cats, and livestock, to ensure they receive balanced diets that support growth, maintenance, and overall health.
Veterinary nutritionists work alongside veterinarians to create specialized diets for pets and farm animals, addressing specific health issues or life stages. Proper nutrition can help prevent diseases, manage existing conditions, and improve the quality of life for animals, making it a crucial aspect of veterinary care.
