Poultry Feeding and Nutrition

[Manimaran Jeyaseelan]

Nutrition is the process by which organisms, like humans, take in and utilize food to support life. It’s the study of how food affects health and growth, focusing on the nutrients our bodies need for energy, building tissues, and overall well-being. Nutrients are substances in food that the body uses for various functions, including growth, repair, and energy production.

Nutrition is the science that studies nourishing and the biological function of nutrients and other dietary substances in relation to the maintenance, growth, reproduction, health, disease, and other biological processes of an organism. Nutrition also consists of a series of processes by which an organism takes in and assimilates food for maintenance, which is the basic metabolism to sustain life, and for productive purposes like growth, reproduction, milk, work, and more. Assimilate means to change the food into a form that can be taken up or absorb by the body and made a part of the tissues. Nutrition also involves the chemical analysis of various ingredients and diets for nutrients, the estimation of the nutrient needs of animals at different physiological stages (e.g., growing, reproduction, lactation, etc.) as well as the effects of deficiency and excess of nutrients, the role of non-nutrients such as antibiotics, feed additives, enzymes, inhibitors, anti-nutritional factors, probiotics, prebiotics, symbiotics, sequestering agents, phytochemical, and more. Finally, nutrition also deals with the effects of physical properties of ingredients: density, particle size, heat processing, fermentation, extraction, oxidation, pelleting, extrusion, etc.
