What is the use of nutrients for animal's health?

I would like to express my opinion on this problem of nutrition. Nutrition provides a critical function by supplying the energy needed to cover the costs of life processes.

I believe that health and nutrition are closely related. The substances that come into the body with food affect condition and physical health. Physical activity or passivity depends largely on the quality of nutrition.

Let us start by considering the facts. The biological value of food is determined by its content of essential nutrients - proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, mineral salts.

One should note here that the structure of the intestine also depends on the diet. Large stomachs are characteristic of carnivores, which can starve for a long time. For example, a 200 kg lion can eat 40 kg of meat at a time and be full for days. Plant food is rich in cellulose, which is difficult to digest. This is why herbivores have longer intestines than carnivores. In addition, most herbivores are aided in digesting cellulose by microbes.

Nutrition is the extraction of energy from food. The transfer of energy from one living thing to another is called the food chain. All food chains begin with the primary producers of energy, the producers. Generally, the producers are plants or phytoplankton, which get their energy directly from the sun. The first order consumers eat the producers. In our case, these are shrimps. The blue whale, in turn, eats the shrimp. When the whale dies, the decomposers will slowly decompose its body. Usually the decomposers are various fungi.

Experts point out that for pets, for example, it is important to feed them purchased food with a prescribed dosage, so as not to upset the balance of micro and macronutrients.

For example, cats vitally need a substance called taurine, which is only found in fresh food of animal origin. Or another example: unlike you and me, cats and dogs completely provide themselves with vitamin C due to their own laboratory in the body, and such a dangerous disease for humans as scurvy is not a problem for them.

In conclusion, I would like to emphasize that, just like for humans, animals need to keep nutrients in their bodies at all times, they get them from food. Therefore, if an animal is a pet, the owner must take care of this for the well-being of his or her pet.

How are feeds classified?

The idea that some classes of food are better than others has firmly lodged itself in the minds of consumers, and we realized that it is high time we talked about what foods are, or rather, what is the classification of pet food thoroughly and frankly.

The need for classification of dry food arose for manufacturers of ready-made diets when the feed industry began to actively develop. New, more expensive rations were appearing, and the question arose as to how manufacturers could promote such foods and gain the attention of consumers. After all, each manufacturer did not mind as much as possible to present the advantages of their product and emphasize the disadvantages of competitors.

Classification is also useful for large concerns that produce feed products in different price categories and for different consumer groups, making it easier for them to explain the differences between their many brands.

According to the origin of feeds are divided into 3 main groups: plant, animal and mixed (mixed fodder). Classification of plant feeds is based on their physiological influence on the body of animals.

Feed of animal origin includes milk and products of its processing, as well as waste products of meat and fish industries.

Vitamin feeds are allocated to a special group - they are natural plant and animal feeds with a high content of vitamins.

In my experience, food is also classified into classes.

Economy class foods contain all the nutrients the animal needs, and the protein and fat data on the labels under "Analysis" are up to par. These diets are considered balanced because they contain all the necessary vitamin and mineral supplements, and they do cost less than all other ready-to-eat diets because they do not use the best raw materials. Within "economy" and "premium" versions, "gourmet food" or "food for gourmets" can be divided between "economy" and "premium" versions. The name comes from the word "gourmet," which means "gourmet" and "delicacy. Such diets exist mainly in the form of canned foods. There is a particularly large selection of such products for cats.

"Superpremium" foods are always divided not only by taste, but also by size, age and physiological condition of the animals. Sometimes this fragmentation intensifies, and the range appears food intended for cats and dogs of different breeds - as a result, the lines of food "swell" to incredible sizes, and the products of one brand can occupy a pet store 4-5 large racks.

Many such brands have special lines of veterinary diets.

To conclude, it should be noted that there is now a huge selection of a variety of pet foods. They should be chosen primarily based on the needs of the animal, as their health directly depends on it.

The article deals with nutritional considerations for optimal puppy growth. The material treats an important problem. The most important upsets of the article are a puppy’s nutritional requirements vary depending on the animal’s breed and must be tailored to an individual’s specific needs. Overfeeding large and giant breed puppies will not produce larger, taller adults, but rather increase the risk of growth disorders. High protein diets fed to large and giant breed puppies do not cause osteoarticular disorders. Calcium deficiencies and excesses can lead to bone disorders, and calcium supplementation is not recommended. Puppies should be weighed once a week and the amount fed adjusted to maintain ideal body condition.

The data are given in tables. The author analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of important nutritional problems such as a lack of micro and macro elements. Why puppies need certain vitamins and minerals at the developmental stage, and why it is so important.

Also how to make a diet for puppies with digestive debilitations. How to make sure your puppy grows up strong and healthy and does not have digestive problems in the future. This article is useful not only for dog owners, but also for those dreaming of getting a pet. Also as a complete study of all the important aspects of nutrition.

The author attempted to explain the new data. There are not many works in this area recently, although it is an important and topical problem.

The broad scope of the material and thoughtful analysis are the main strengths of this article. This study has made a major contribution to an already established base. The work provides a profound theoretical foundation.

Growth is a challenging and constantly changing period for the puppy and the nutritional needs differ based on the individual s age, sex, size and breed. Providing a complete and balanced diet that is specifically designed to support puppy s unique needs is critical for optimal growth and prevention of disorders associated with growth. The key to successful growth is to monitor food intake and constantly adjust the amount fed to maintain ideal body condition.

The article includes important points such as the fact that, some micronutrients and vitamins, including vitamin A, vitamin D and iodine, can be toxic if added in excess.

In addition, taking some micronutrients (e.g., zinc) can interfere with the absorption of other micronutrients - e.g., copper - and thereby cause a secondary deficiency.

A puppy's gastrointestinal tract goes through period of intense growth, beginning in the very first hours after birth and continues until weaning. This is very important because what you feed your puppy from the very first days of his life determines how he will grow up and whether he will have problems related to insufficient or excessive food in his diet.
