Исхрана непреживара - практикум

This practicum on the subject of Non-ruminant Nutrition was created in accordance with the accredited Curriculum and Exercise Program for the study program Animal Production (Livestock) of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Novi Sad. Its primary purpose is to make it easier for students of basic academic studies to master the intended material, as well as to fulfill the pre-examination and examination obligations in this subject. The practicum is designed as supplementary literature that allows students to apply theoretical knowledge through practical tasks. It covers examples of compounding, presents databases on nutrients and needs of different categories of non-ruminants, as well as recommended formulations for optimizing nutrition. In addition to students of animal husbandry, this practicum can also be used by students of other related study programs that teach non-ruminant nutrition, as well as practitioners who want to improve their knowledge through systematized and verified recommendations. Special attention is also paid to the description of methods that are of practical importance for rational formulation of meals. Although the technologies for raising certain species of non-ruminants are listed for informational purposes only, they provide students with insight into the context of the application of nutrition in real production conditions.
