Animal Feed and FeedingLaajuus (5 cr)
Code: KA00BW71
Objective
The students recognize the nutrients in feeds, principles of feed evaluation as well as the digestive systems of animals and understand their significance in feeding. They know the principles and objectives of feed planning, and are able to evaluate how a change in the proportions of the components of a diet affects the amount and content of nutrients. They can assess the results of a feeding plan and put it into practice and can calculate the amount of feed needed for the animals annually. They are familiar with the technology used in feeding.
Content
Nutrients, composition and feeding value of typical feeds, farm animal digestion systems, feed planning and its relationship with animal welfare and health, assessment of the results of feeding and feeding technology.
Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)
The students can describe the digestive systems and the main principles of feed digestion. They can name the nutrients and make a simple calculation of the amounts of feeds needed. They can list the fundamentals of assessing the results of feeding. They can name the most usual technological solutions used in feeding.
Assessment criteria, good (3)
The students can describe the connections between digestive systems, main chemical properties of nutrients and selection of feeds used for different farm animals. They can calculate the total amount and contents of nutrients in a diet of an animal and compare the results with feeding recommendations and other instructions given for feed formulation. They can put feeding plans into practice and assess the results of feeding. They can describe differences between technological solutions used in feeding.
Assessment criteria, excellent (5)
The students can explain the biological significance of nutrition. They can plan diets based on typical components and calculate the amount of feed needed annually or for a growing period. They can assess the results of feeding in practice. They can describe differences between technological solutions used in feeding and explain their significance.
