Animal feeding refers to the process of providing food to animals, ensuring they receive the necessary nutrients for growth, health, and energy. Different species have specific dietary needs, which can include proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. For example, herbivores primarily eat plants, while carnivores consume meat. Feeding practices can vary widely depending on the animal's habitat and domestication. In the wild, animals hunt or forage for food, while in captivity, such as in zoos or farms, caretakers provide balanced diets tailored to each species. Proper animal feeding is essential for maintaining overall health and well-being.
