Animal nutrition is a key factor in livestock production and its feed formulation must be adapted to the specific needs of each species and life stage. Nutritional requirements vary according to the metabolism, growth phase and productive function of each animal, which requires precise formulation to optimize health and performance.
How do nutritional needs vary by species and life stage?
Each animal species has particular nutritional needs that change throughout its life. For example:
- Poultry: In their initial stage, they require high levels of protein and essential amino acids for accelerated growth. In the production phase (layers), calcium and phosphorus balance is optimized for egg shell formation.
- Ruminants: Growing calves need a protein-rich diet for muscle development, while dairy cows require an energy formulation to sustain milk production.
- Swine: Piglets need highly digestible ingredients to strengthen their immature digestive system.
- Aquaculture: Fish and shrimp feed should consider high quality protein sources and the inclusion of essential fatty acids for healthy development in an aquatic environment.
