What this module is about
Having learned about the different nutrients
which make up the diet, and how they are digested and absorbed, we now turn
our attention to the practical aspects of nutrition of dogs and cats.
In this third module, we will gain an understanding
of the dietary requirements of dogs and cats for various key nutrients. The
first part explores the role of energy in the
diet. We then take a look at the dietary requirements for protein,
fats, vitamins and
minerals in the body.
On completing this module, you should have
gained an understanding of why the various nutrients are needed by the body,
and the how nutritionists have determined the dietary requirements of animals
for these nutrients.
